Put Those Ta-Tas Away! They Are Causing All Manner of Problems.

His name is Jim Rubens and shame is his game.

Do you want to know the reason for all this workplace violence?

Women.  Hooter toters.  Females. That’s what.

A former New Hampshire state senator who’s announcing his candidacy to unseat Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen says women in the workplace are at least partially to blame for mass shootings and other violence by men.

“Bottom line: the collaborative, flexible, amorphously-hierarchical American economy is shutting out ordinary men who were once the nation’s breadwinners in living-wage labor and manufacturing jobs,” wrote former state Sen. Jim Rubens in a 2009 blog post.

I have no idea what a amorphously-hierarchical is, but I bet it only happens once a month.

He says that because there’s not enough male jobs since females came to the workplace, men “are falling over the edge.”

Whoa.

So, let me get this straight.  I have a job and that causes men to shoot up workplaces.  Okay.

Uh, what about the fact that I make 77 cents for the same job my male counterpart makes $1.00 for?   Shouldn’t that make me go over the edge?  Plus, I’ve got that whole amorphously-hierarchical thing going on once a month.  Honey, I think women should get a medal for NOT shooting up the workplace.

Now Ole Jim says he’s not against women in the workplace.  I guess that means he’s for violence in the workplace since women are causing it.  This stuff makes my head hurt.

Hand me an aspirin.  My amorphously-hierarchical hurts something awful.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Here’s the Deal – UPDATE

September 18, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Bak about a month ago, I told you that two major things were going to happen.  (1) I am getting my first Apple computer and learning to use it.  (2)  We’re moving locations for this website.

The first one is completed, almost.  I have the computer and am still learning.  I’m getting pretty good at it, but typos have increased.  Which I didn’t need any help at.

#2 will happen tomorrow at about 9:30 am.  Hopefully, everything will go smoothy and you’ll never notice the difference.  However, please do not post any comments after 9:30 am tomorrow until I give you the okay.  If you do, we are likely to lose them.

I’ll put up a notice tomorrow.  You can come and read all you want to.  Just don’t comment.

Thank you.

I lied.  It’s Friday at 9:30.  Unless it’s not.  I’ll give you one hour’s warning.

Y’all, Louie Makes My Head Hurt

Louie has become a damn philosopher.

After another mass shooting, Louie said these actual and real words in the English language …

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) responded to Monday’s shooting at the Washington Navy Yard by calling for more people to be armed, and insisted that blaming guns was like saying that obesity was caused by “too many spoons.”

Aunt Thelma, God rest her soul, used to say, “Girl, you’re talking and there’s words coming out of your mouth.  But, honey, you ain’t saying nothing.”

.

You know, they have crazy people and violent video games in Canada, too.  But they don’t have people shooting up places.  You think that’s because they don’t have spoons?

Thanks to Frank for the heads up.

Much Fun With Guns: Sister and Shooting Range Edition

September 18, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

In Houston, Texas, a 17 year old brother tells the cops that a drive-by shooter shot his 16 year old sister in the leg with a .45 caliber.

Except that didn’t happen.  Oh, his sister got shot, for sure, because she’s in the hospital, but the brother now fesses up that he was playing with the gun.  And it went off.  And hit his sister.

“He then attempted to hide the weapon. He informed us of what he did. We retrieved the weapon,” said Sgt. Eric Batton. “He’s very upset about it. He didn’t mean to do it.”

He says he got the gun from a relative.

Then there’s this story about a Michigan man who got shot at a Chicago shooting range.

Authorities say 49-year-old Michael Babinski was shot Tuesday afternoon at Midwest Guns in Lyons. He’d been shot in the neck and head and died several hours later after being taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Police say they believe the shooting was an accident, but they’re investigating and reviewing surveillance footage.

Anybody know where the good guy with a gun was?

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Mr. Sensitivity Goes BANG!

September 17, 2013 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

There’s an old Texas saying about somebody who is rude and uncouth.  It goes like this, “He’d talk about ropes in the home of a hanged man.”

Rick Perry would prefer to talk guns 22 miles from the Naval Yard.

Yeah, he’s tone deaf.

Perry will tour the factory of Beretta USA in Accokeek, Md., on Wednesday, according to CNN. Perry has gone after several Democratic governors lately, airing radio ads in California, New York, Missouri, Connecticut and, most recently, Maryland, to try to lure businesses to the Lone Star State.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
