Snowflakes in Hell

Pennsylvania is third in the nation when it comes layoffs.  Ed Rendell came into office with a promise to turn Pennsylvania around.  What stellar results eh?  Raising taxes and tolling our highways is generally not an effective way to promote economic growth.  Nor is increasing regulations on businesses.

John Hohenwarter, who is Pennsylvania’s NRA State Liaison and representative in Harrisburg, had this to say about Philadelphia attempting to enforce its own gun laws:

This morning John Hohenwarter, the NRA’s lobbyist and representative in Harrisburg, said Nutter would be squandering taxpayer dollars — which could be better used to put police officers on the street — if he mounts a futile legal challenge to established precedent that prevents local governments from enacting their own gun laws.

“We heard the same thing out of Mayor Street’s office the last couple of years,” Hohenwarter said. “The programs that the mayor is backing are nothing more than attempts to grab headlines,” he said. “Chances are, it’s going to be thrown out immediately, and if they keep trying to appeal it, you’re looking at a lot of cost to the city for nothing.”

I couldn’t agree more.

Allentown police caught this guy, who is charged with two counts of  murder:

Torres was driving on Turner Street Friday afternoon when he was pulled over by police and arrested. He was wearing a hooded sweartshirt with a skull-head pattern on it, pajama bottoms and fuzzy lion-faced slippers at the time. He was still wearing the get-up when he was arraigned after midnight at Lehigh County prison.

Follow the link for the picture.  I’m going to be, probably not the first to say, that this whole wearing pajamas in public fashion has now officially gone way too far.

This is a pretty cool .22LR version of the H&K MP5, made by German Sports Guns.
