And we don't believe in guns here!!

Oh, that's why y'all hate America.

It's not so much that we hate America, it's just that we don't live there.

Rural Georgia has a meth problem (I just Googled and saw that 70% of Child Services cases now involve meth). We also got plenty of guns, y'all.

Not living in America and hating America is the same thing. No wait, I forgot we aren't the in Bush era anymore. Never mind.

I think it's hard for Meth to get hold in NYC because it's hard to be making it here, right? Meth labs kinda require isolation, thus the large problem in rural/rural adjacent areas.

A cautionary tale: How NOT to raise an ape in your family

I collect books by people who have raised apes in their homes. One of the first, The Ape and the Child, was written in by behaviorist W.N. Kellogg, a man with a peculiar brainstorm: that he should raise a chimpanzee as a twin to his own infant son, treating them in exactly the same fashion, and comparing their development. Kellogg was fascinated by case studies of feral children: if kids raised by wolves become wolf-like, he hypothesized, could a human such as he mold an ape to act human?

...

Results? Mixed. The chimp, Gua, took more quickly to her civilizing education than her brother. She appeared smarter, stronger, and more emotionally developed on a number of counts: she was better at using glasses and silverware, walked earlier (chimps generally don't walk upright), responded to verbal commands sooner, and was more cooperative and obedient.

...

The real reason he abruptly halted the study, then, was likely because of results that Kellogg never anticipated: his son Donald started imitating the chimp.

For example, though Donald had learned to walk before Gua joined the Kellogg family, he regressed and started crawling more, in tune with Gua. He'd bite people, fetch small objects with his mouth, and chewed up a shoe. More importantly, his language skills were delayed. At 19 months, Donald's vocabulary consisted of three words. Instead of talking he would grunt and make chimp sounds.

Gua got sent back to the Yerkes center in Florida, where she promptly died. And Donald? Not much is known of his life, but, at 43, he committed suicide.

A free AK-47 with every truck purchase! The reason given for the promotion is Missouri's meth problem. I assume the idea is to defend yourself against drug addicts trying to steal stuff rather than arming people on meth. But hey, who cares, free AK-47!

I saw a story about that somewhere.

This is a great plan. Instead of hiring more police (that might raise taxes), or restricting gun purchases to keep guns out of the hands of meth cooks and dealers (2nd Amendment), just give out free guns and SHOOT 'EM.

You should run for office in my county, that position would make you a shoe-in.

Boss stories - mine are out all week: Casual Connect, here in Seattle, and then Comicon (and they're just fans, so they go ZOOM BYE BYE).

Yay. I can get WORK DONE.

See, this is what happens when we allow teh gays to marry: Monkey Making Out With Cat (VIDEO)

This monkey is either passionately in love with this cat or he's trying to eat the cat's face. Either way it's seriously adorable. We're kind of wondering what the cat is thinking.
