Wow, all the crazies are really coming out of the woodwork these days, with their rifles, and their rage, and their chopped-n-screwed worldviews.
Imagine how much worse it would be if America wasn't short on ammo. Maybe America needs to implement Chris Rock's "bullet control" idea. Yes, a $5,000 tax per round. ("Man, I would blow your fuckin' head off, if I could afford it... You better hope I can't get no bullets on layaway.")
Yesterday's maniac was Mr. James W. Von Brunn, a man almost too old to be on 60 Minutes, who brought the National Mall to a standstill by walking into the Holocaust Museum and firing a rifle indiscriminately, killing a security guard.
Thanks to the Information Superhighway, we now know that Mr. JWVB was a genius, a Mensa member, an artist, a WWII vet, and an accomplished author. His magnum opus was a 189-page "racialist guide to the preservation and nurture of the white gene pool" titled KILL THE BEST GENTILES, which is really a run-of-the-mill screed about the Jewish/Illuminati/banker conspiracy to destroy Western Civilization by browning it like Manwich meat.
I made it to page 12, where JWVB describes how Marxist Jews perverted the Constitution to extend the franchise to intellectually inferior darker people and women:
The Founders also wanted a government in which the
supreme power lies in the People. The Founders knew, however,
that in this very imperfect world intelligent and capable
people are always outnumbered by the unintelligent and incapable.
Ergo, the majority vote nullifies the intelligent vote. The
Founders also knew that the masses are easily controlled by
unscrupulous, ambitious men. Therefore, in their wisdom
the Founders created a Republic with strong checks and balances
— NOT a DEMOCRACY — knowing that Democracy
is intended to destroy the freedoms it presumes to
protect. Accordingly, the franchise was held so precious that it
was limited to White men deemed capable of exercising
responsible votes.
Well, okay. This part is pretty much true. Jefferson was a slaver, and California's experiments with real democracy have led it straight to the gates of Hell.
But how about those White Men voting responsibly?
Yeah, I thought so.
Meanwhile, the Right Wing kookosphere is trying to paint Von Brunn as a leftist. Good luck with that.

Meanwhile, the unstable-but-not-likely-to-massacre sub-wing of the Right Wing is still represented fully and impressively by the trio of attorneys at Powerline. Today, guest blogger Paul Rahe deconstructs this photo of Obama chatting with Benyamin Netanyahu as a "fuck you" to the Jews.
Some in the Israeli press have interpreted the release of the photograph as an expression of contempt, intended for Arab consumption, inspired by the hurling of a shoe at President Bush in Baghdad some months back.
Far-fetched thoough these fears might seem, I suspect that these Israelis are not being hypersensitive. Barack Obama has a history of belittling his adversaries in just such a fashion. In April 2008, he was caught on tape during a debate with Hillary Clinton, rubbing his hand across the right side of his face and extending his middle finger in an obscene gesture that many in the audience could see it but she could not, and when this provoked laughter on the part of his supporters he responded with a knowing smile.
Later, after accepting his party's nomination, he did precisely the same thing during a debate with John McCain; and, after Sarah Palin remarked at the Republican National Convention that the only difference between a pit bull and a soccer mom was lipstick, he observed at a rally that a pig with lipstick is still a pig. Again, many in the audience caught the dig and they, too, were rewarded with a knowing smile.
Obama is, in fact, a master of the insulting gesture.
Blogs like Powerline obsess about the press, the liberals, and the liberal press only seeing what they want to see about Obama. They're right, some of the time.
Meanwhile, blogs like Powerline don't appreciate the irony of seeing face scratches as calculated 5th-grade-style insults.
At least this kind of petty shit isn't enough to make a man load his gun. Right?
