    Pray, why does she need an assault rifle? I understand that is legal to own them by citizens, but for what purpose, what is the NRA's logic?

    Real conversation, two months ago:


    Nerd!!: I fucking hate Sarah Palin.


    Future Mrs. Nerd: No you don't, you are sexually attracted to her, and it offends your brain to know you don't have control over your body.


    NerD!!! ... shit.


    Future Mrs. Nerd: You're welcome.

    From the article:
    ''The rifle is chambered in .50-caliber "Beowulf." It's the same caliber used by heavy machine guns, which can take down big game, and in war zones "can disable both motor vehicles and assailants with body armor''


    Why do you need a gun like this IN YOUR HOME? This is why it's hard to take pro-gun arguments seriously. I don't want to live near anyone who has a weapon like this at their disposal.

    @TheExperience: Here's a little info:


    This version of the M4 is for defense against bears, hunting elk or moose, or stopping unarmored vehicles.


    Cheapest ammo is $1.25/round (expensive!).

    @TheExperience: Also - that caliber much less likely to punch through body armor than the standard 5.56mm M4 that the military uses (and this is why they use it).


    Specialty armor-piercing ammo has been illegal for sale to non-military/police consumers for many years now. The press frequently fans these flames in error. There are non-specialty rounds that can defeat body armor, but this would be light armor at close range shot with high-velocity cartridge.

    I can somehow understand why a person would use a gun to go out and hunt (well, not personally, but know people who actually hunt and eat a deer, etc.), but how in God's name is it sportsmanlike to hunt with an automated weapon? Does this mean, Sarah, that you suck as much at hunting as you do at politics? Oh...you just suck completely!!!

    It's not an automatic weapon. And you don't hunt deer with the caliber that rifle is in. Maybe moose.

    @PeteRR: Sorry bout that. I don't understand, and don't want to understand guns. My brother has hundreds of them and I'm afraid to touch them (even unloaded). I just thought that Palin hunted with automated weapons (out of helicopters)? Forgive my ignorance, but like they say ignorance is no excuse.

    @JazzednJersey: No problem. The media have no interest in informing their consumers about the reality of firearms, so I don't blame the people who take what they read or see as gospel.

    In reply to The B-List: Beyoncé, Basketball, Babies, Barack & Brad Pitt
    If you aren't very familar with Beyonces music, sure. But Beyonce is a terrible influence on little girls, espeically little Black ones. Just because she is pretty and well mannerred doesn't mean she is a role model. Her current radio hit "Diva" is about being "the female version of a hustler". Her music glorifies "hood stereotypes" and praises consummate materialism. Part of the reason I am so glad for Michele is because she gives girls someone a hell of a lot better to look up to than Beyonce. If they have to look up to an entertainer, I'd nominate Alicia Keys or India Arie way before her.
