Rogero scoffs at claims of KKK ties

So, um, there's an online video going around trying to tie Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero to the KKK. Also on the list is Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, who is gay. Not sure he'd be allowed in the KKK. (And I'm pretty sure the KKK wants nothing to do with Rogero.)

But whatever.

Anyhoo, a lot of folks are saying that the list came from Anonymous, but I don't think that's the case.

Anonymous has said they are going to release the names of 1,000 KKK members on Nov. 5. This isn't that list. It doesn't help, however, that Anonymous has linked to it on its Facebook page.

Anyway, here's our story RIGHT SMACK HERE.

Personally, it's sad that we have to report it, but if we didn't there would be that vocal minority claiming the "liberal media" is protecting Rogero. Yeah, whatever.

Plus Rogero, herself, got out in front of it and released a statement. It's actually pretty funny. Again, click on the link about for the story.

Pick a car, any car, and steal a gun

Heh.

That ol' Second Amendment strikes again. Cause ya just never know when the British are a coming back.

State Republicans, in their no-doubt continuing effort to give every little piece of their soul to the NRA, approved the guns-in-parking-lots bill. Click right smack here for at bad boy.

You know. I actually had to ask a co-worker today if Tennessee had a waiting period before purchasing a handgun. No, really, I did. Cause if any state didn't have one . . . .

In the meantime, I guess I'm in the minority here, thinking that the guns-in-parking-lots thing is a bad idea. Don't get me wrong, I like to shoot things, break things, stab things and, generally, mess up things. I'm all for the death penalty, torture and public executions in front of minors, if only so they can learn a lesson.

Seriously, I have no problems with guns, gun ownership, etc.

But the reason there's a waiting period before you can purchase one is because it's actually a "cooling off" period. You know, don't get mad at someone, and get a gun and shoot them.

Soooooo, let's hope someone, who would really need that cooling off period, doesn't get mad at their boss. Cause that gun will now only be a parking lot away.

In the meantime, here's to bringing back that bill that would let folks bring their guns into bars.

I mean, it just sounds like a great idea. Second Amendment and all. Plus, alcohol and guns are awesome together.

UPDATE: One wise reader reminded me that the Intelligencia already approved guns in bars unless business owners object. So . . . . never mind.
