Metal Tuesday – Slayer – New Faith

I’m not the biggest fan of Slayer, but they were part of the big four of thrash metal in the 80’s. With guitarist Jeff Hanneman passing away, I think it’s only fitting this week’s Metal Tuesday should be Slayer. I give you, “New Faith.”

Friday Quote – Judge Alex Kozinski

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

Judge Alex Kozinski, dissenting, Silveira v. Lockyer, denial to re-hear en banc, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, 2003.

This is a much better stating of one of the reasons I give why I own guns.

Things Heard At the Cub Scout Meeting

“Don’t lick the paper plates or you’ll ruin the science.”

My nephew’s scouting den went over the scientific method and did an experiment testing the fluidity of ketchup, tartar sauce, and honey.

At least this was better than when they did astronomy. I almost popped a brain vessel as they explained celestial bodies and mechanics.
