If MSNBC has taught me anything, it's that the Koch brothers stole the Malaysian jet to block a Jersey bridge because racism. Probably.

That was the consensus last night as well. But when we got down to details surprisingly I was the only one who knew of the distinction between the Nordics and the Greys, despite the ratio of graduate degrees to people being greater than 2:1 at our table. Not sure if that is a sad commentary on what passes for education these days, or an unfortunate fact about me. Either way, I blame it on the unironically consumed PBRs and Narragansetts. It was a drinking establishment where <a href="http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2659>Ol' Jimbo</a> would have felt quite at home, I'm sure. To top it off, I had to explain about the "Nordic Aliens" to an actual tall, blonde, blue-eyed Swedish person.
Gee... Flipping through the channels a few minutes ago MSNBC had a piece from last year on Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed and the 3-D printing of weapons, specifically a polymer AR-15 receiver and 30 round so-called "high capacity" magazines. The reporter wanted to dwell on on the "anarchist" aspects of Cody Wilson, while Cody Wilson wanted to dwell on the freedom from government interference of a Constitutionally enumerated right. The BATFE rep in charge of "firearms tracing" throwing up his hands and giving Fed-speak for "Lawdie, Lawdie!!!" for the concept of people manufacturing their own weapons was particularly worthwhile watching.
While I was previously not a twit, I have recently twittercized for tweet's sake.
ReplyDeleteHad to favorite that one from Caleb.
Let's see what kind of damned fool I can make of myself.
It all makes sense when you know the whole story.
ReplyDeleteI still vote for Aliens... :-)
ReplyDeleteOld NFO, that theory is not inconsistent with MSNBC's via Mr. Howe.
ReplyDeleteHah!
ReplyDelete> I still vote for Aliens... :-)

The only thing MSNBC has taught me is to avoid MSNBC.
