Harold Camping said that the world would be destroyed on May 21, 2012
Mayan calendar enthusiasts told us that the world would be destroyed on December 21, 2012
James Hansen told us that the world was doomed unless Obama fixed the climate before January 20, 2013.
Barack Obama told us that the economy would be destroyed on March 1, 2013 unless we gave him money.
As far as I can tell, we seemed to have survived.
From reading left wing Internet forums, I have determined that a gun nut is anyone who is concerned about Obama purchasing 7,000 fully automatic rifles, 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, and 2,700 tanks – all for use in the US.
Right after he told us that the only purpose for assault rifles is to kill people.
Next time you plan to destroy the Bill of Rights, please tell us before the election. TIA
New York City’s ban on large-size soda drinks was blocked by a judge after industry groups including the American Beverage Association sued to stop the plan, calling it an unfair burden on small businesses.
Groups representing beverage makers, restaurants and theaters filed a petition in New York State Supreme Court in October, the state’s trial level court, seeking to block enforcement of the measure, calling the ban “unprecedented interference” with consumer choice.
New York Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling in Manhattan approved the group’s request, issuing a permanent injunction preventing the city from implementing the plan, which had been scheduled to begin March 12.
The groups said the decision by the Board of Health to approve the ban was overreaching and ignored the rights of New Yorkers to make their own choices.

1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? It’s Time For A National Conversation
The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As reported elsewhere, much of this purchase order is for rounds forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America.
Add to this perplexing outré purchase of ammo, DHS now is showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated from the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation.

Crack scientists say that Greenland and Antarctica are melting down, and pouring massive amounts of water into the sea and drowning the coasts. It must be that sneaky kind of water which has cleverly avoided California.
