Go ahead! Make me swoon!
Hey, anyone new to this blog, be sure to check out my blogfather! He is a credit to the Second Amendment, and right now his famed weekly check on the gun bias is up. Take a look at the picture he has posted of the drooling anti-gun vultures, shown after their latest gun-grab vote. Kerry, of course, is flanked by his friends Schumer, Feinstein and Kennedy, and they couldn't look happier! Jeff reflects on the festivities: Isn't that a cozy quartet! Chucky Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, and Edward Kennedy leaving the Senate after the vote. Go ahead and retch because these are the Democratic power brokers who killed this bill to protect an industry from the ravishes of greedy city mayors and their sponsors, the American Trial Lawyers Association (the largest contributor to the Democratic Party.)I sure don't. And I think that even the Bush haters ought to at least consider that the anyone-but-Bush meme has, by foisting Kerry on the public, brought about a growing anyone-but-Kerry meme! And here's Jeff on the detestable New York Times: I have been writing this weekly report on bias against guns by major media for a year-and-a-half now and I certainly knock papers such as SF Gate and the LA Times. But I also have to admit that some of their writers occasionally pen a straight-forward news story with equal quotes from both sides.I don't put them on a pedestal either -- and not only because of their anti-gun bias. The New York Times has now delivered an ultimatum to the blogosphere: DON'T MAKE FUN OF US! Because if you do, our lawyers will squash you like a bug! Your actions are deliberately designed to confuse people and are clearly illegal. By using The Times's name, logos, advertisments, live links, design and layout, you are blatantly infringing upon our exclusive rights under trademark and copyright laws, as well as the rights of our advertisers. And you are compounding the offense by encouraging others to follow your lead.(Link via Glenn Reynolds.)I hereby compound the offense further, as I consider it my civic duty to encourage others to follow Robert Cox's lead! Go ahead! Create your own New York Times corrections page! It's a public service to correct a rag that is anything but! Let the "swooning liberals" swoon! Thanks Jeff! You are to me as the Times is to liberals; you make me swoon!
[T]he Times is being a bully. If, say, Rush Limbaugh were doing this to a critic under the same kind of circumstances, I suspect the Times would be all over him for it.Michael Savage sued his critics after they parodied him by using his name and image in web pages. I don't recall the New York Times screaming about Savage's digital rights being violated either. (Hell, I don't even think the Times was on Fox News' side when they sued Al Franken. I wonder why....) And now they're using Savage tactics to savage bloggers.... Tut tut!
A cyber-gadfly, hit with a copyright-infringement charge by The New York Times, yesterday stripped his Web site of a Times parody and watched it pop up elsewhere online.(Shouldn't they have capitalized "times" in the headline?) For what it's worth, I am only too glad to help out, and my parody mirror is up, right here! Go ahead! Make me swoon, ye swine! posted by Eric on 03.10.04 at 11:23 PM

Jeff Soyer is a hero of freedom. And so are you. Syeven Malcolm Anderson the Lesbian-eating pho-loving aesthete-worshipping gun · March 11, 2004 03:41 PM Thank you Steven! You're also a heavy lifter where it comes to spirits, and my blog would feel deserted without your regular input, incisive wit, and ecstatic outbursts of pure and honest spontaneity!

Kerry stinks, and I don't yet know of anybody who actually _likes_ him. No bloggers anyway, and nobody commenting in Dean's World seems all that enthused about him, and even my brother, a near-yellow-dog Democrat, liked Edwards better. My friend Robin was for Lieberman. I prefered EvilDean. How on earth did we get stuck with Kerry?? I'm tempted to vote for Bush just to keep from having to endure 4 years of Kerry. Except that that might be seen, esp. by my enemies, as condoning Bush's moral treason.
