They have their own uranium mines and fuel fabrication facilities. Left over from the 90's are fuel reprocessing plants and probably weapon designs.
The "tell" is that Cristina K. is accusing Britain of introducing nuclear weapons into the Falklands. When a leftist accuses someone of something, one can guess that they are doing the same.

If they had even more balls, they'd throw some of the wasteful spending by the First Family in his face.
The amount spent in order to fly his worthless ass back and forth to Hawaii a couple times at the end of the year plus Moochelle's fashion budget plus the cost of all their partying has to be enough to fund a small nation.

Oh, yeah. No argument here.
I'd really be surprised if they did anything that worked against their interest like that. If they quit selling ammo, they might as well quit selling anything hunting or shooting related and get prepared for a decent falloff in all areas.

They quote a Kos article which I immediately disregard as bullshit. Then they talk about the BART cop who accidentally shoots the cuffed perp on the ground. That incident, while horrific, was not malicious intent by the police to kill the perp. He mistook his tazer for his service weapon and fucked up on a cosmic scale.

Subject: Jodi Foster
There is an old joke that goes; How do you know someone is a vegan? Because, they will f*cking tell you!
I have watched Jodi Foster in movies since I was literally (as Joe Biden would say) a little kid. I could care less what she licks of otherwise does in her private life. For many years I had a grudging respect for her, despite persistent rumors, keeping her private life private.No longer.
The Gheys are the new vegans.

For those that haven't seen my drive bys in the last few ONTs:
Last Saturday (Jan 5th) I took my wife, 17 weeks at the time pregnant with twins, to the ER for a continuously high (104+) fever. She was swiftly admitted to UNC hospital for a severe bacterial pneumonia.
By Sunday morning she was on a ventilator.
Monday morning brought an ominous midnight call summoning us back to the hospital, she nearly died due to respiratory failure. They were able to stabilize her, but to do so they had to medically paralyze her.
Monday/Tuesday her fever breaks.
Wednesday afternoon brought an ominous mid day call that she had started pre-term labor. It did not progress past what happened that afternoon.
Thursday, she was removed from paralytic.
The weekend brought changes to the ventilator settings to get her moving to get off of it, and a seesaw return of the fever.
Today brings the removal of the ventilator and her and the twins all doing good.
Needless to say the last week has been a roller coaster.

Ever hear the term...'Crab Mentality'?
It comes from observing a basket of crabs...
Some of the crabs will try to climb up the side of the basket, to escape.
Then the other crabs will reach up and pull them back down...preventing them from getting out.
So, one could say...that 'Crab Mentality' is the basis for Socialism.

I don't understand that. Even if they ban high-cap mags, people will still buy ammo.
Look at all the guns that were sold since Nov-Dec of last year. All those guns need to be fed. Wal-Mart is missing out on a great opportunity.
IMO, they can turn things around by announcing a contract with the Lake City munitions plant to supply with all the ammo they can make for the next 5 years.

I respect Sam Walton, etc. but I had going through a store with annoying musak, with a grocery section with poor veggies and meats, and then waiting in line behind 5 or 6 idiots while there are 40 - 50 unopened registers [even the local convenience store has automatic checkouts].
But ... decided, what the hey. Help the economy.
Loaded up the cart with ice cream, clothing, small trinkets from the gift crap aisle etc. Looked around, didn't see what I really wanted. Waited in line for a while, then went looking again. While back waiting in the check-out line, a manager came by. Flagged him down, he asked if I found everything. I responded no, looking for some 2nd amendment items. He said that he 'didn't want any killing stuff in his store'.
I politely thanked him, and we promptly left.
It was great fun.

My comment about the EOs came from Drudge. One of the top headlines quotes TFG as saying that "he has executive powers over guns".
The quote from the linked article:
My understanding is the vice president's going to provide a range of
steps that we can take to reduce gun violence," said Obama. "Some of
them will require legislation, some of them I can accomplish through
executive action.......But I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't
require legislation and that are within my authority as president..."

I've read several biographies of Lincoln so I'm pretty familiar with the story. I thought the movie was excellent and the portrayal of Lincoln was better than any I'd ever seen. Daniel Day Lewis was awesome.
And I respectfully disagree with Sven's point that Lincoln was made to seem like a member of something other than the Republican party. In fact, I was kind of surprised at the degree to which the Democrats were portrayed as villains.

Or, to paraphrase a quote from the Rifftrak of "Neutron the Atomic Superman," he'd wail away at Bammy's scrotum like a boxer working a speed bag.

Every ad blitz, every interview, and the crescendo of the film made it seem as though "Abe would probably be a democrat today" and that is frankly Horseshit.
He was an American System loving patronage Whig who shunned the know-nothings and helped found the GOP. He was like a funhouse mirror version of the modern vulture legal profession making scratch by making sure business could thrive. Spielberg does not take the victory banner for most ludicrous revision to Abe that would be Harry Turtledove who decided old Abe was really a Communist.
Daniel Day Lewis probably turns in a killer job acting out what Spielberg wanted, I am an ex thespian and I can separate my love of craft from politics but the portrayal was simplistic from what I have read, and the hoopla outside the film means I won't see it until it is on DVD and then likely bought used to keep the cash from Horrywood.
Nothing personal this historical wars bullshit is my life's passion.
Abe is an enigma I love him for a few things and I probably hate him for a lot more but it is still a hair over into love.
That is how important his 'goods" were.

Well, that really is one thing he can do via EO, IIRC.
So maybe the Mayan calendar just didn't translate properly into our current Julian Calendar, and so that 'Dec 21, 2012' date was off by a few weeks.

Which raises some interesting vegan ethics questions. Does vegan cheese involve bacteria, like regular dairy cheese? And if so, does devouring bacteria violate the vegan premise? Or is it just "cute" multicellular animals that they don't eat? Inquiring minds want to know.

I read as much on it as i could and have seen every clip.
Looked at Spielberg's blitz for it and decided I will not reward him for shitting on me to try to steal one of our party's flawed icons.

Want to know what is really a hoot? We have a grocery store chain whose employees are unionized and their attitudes are a lot worse than the Walmart peoples'. So much for the union view that hiring unionized employees and paying them better makes them better employees. It makes, at least some of them, bigger jerks.

Yeah, I've had that experience of the person in front of me checking out groceries, only to find out at the end that she doesn't have enough on the EBT card to cover them. Then going through the process of digging through everything and making decisions as to which items to subtract.
I went to a Catholic school where we were taught to estimate. I use it at stores all the time.

The sole purpose of a union is to subsidize the lazy and protect the incompetent.
I think I learned that from Shit Jefferson Said: Vol. 1

The sole purpose of a union is to wield political power with other people's money without their input.

One thing about Appalachia, or at least this corner of it, is that the riff-raff tend to be very polite and cheerful.
Unless you come for their guns.

Well, that really is one thing he can do via EO, IIRC.
He still has to enforce it.
And the enforcers lives amonst us. Along with their families... Just sayin'.

No, under our new tax rates the Federal government will be left as the only possible solution, merely by making sure the government has all the money and no new major businesses ever gets started by individuals again. .
