The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

A problem for people with liberal values?

Usually when a minority group does something they don't like they have to make up excuses for them so what is the excuse here? Weren't these people supposed to be mowed down because they had weapons  like the open carry white gun nuts have? 


"Two dozen protesters from a gun club named for the founder of the Black Panther Party marched through the streets of South Dallas," Dallas News reported Wednesday. "The open-carry rally was organized by the Huey P. Newton Gun Club to promote self-defense and community policing in response to recent police shootings."

And the race of the guy who was the shooter was ???

"Salt Lake City police shooting investigation could take 2-3 weeks
Probe » Victim was unarmed when police confronted him, brother says.
First Published Aug 15 2014 12:34 pm • Last Updated Aug 19 2014 02:09 pm
It could be several weeks before investigators probing Salt Lake City police officers’ fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man present their findings to prosecutors, police said Friday.
"The only thing new I can tell you is that our investigators are optimistic that they will have a case ready for review by the [Salt Lake County] district attorney’s office in the next two to three weeks," South Salt Lake police Sgt. Darin Sweeten told The Tribune.
Dillon Taylor was shot by police Monday night outside a 7-Eleven store at 2102 S. State St. "

If you liked the book Heather has Two Mommies you'll love this one


From the web site: "Come join 13-year-old Brenna Strong along with her mom, Bea, and her dad, Richard, as they spend a typical Saturday running errands and having fun together. What's not so typical is that Brenna's parents lawfully open carry handguns for self-defense. The Strongs join a growing number of families that are standing up for their 2nd Amendment rights by open carrying and bringing gun ownership out of the closet and into the mainstream."

The biggest social problem in the country

visit: http://www.westernjournalism.com/bloombergs-everytown-ad-proves-why-women-should-be-armed/

The first ad when viewed by anti-gun people is a great ad. It confirms their way of looking at the world.  The first ad when viewed by pro-gun people it is also a great ad even if put out by the mayor and his minions. It confirms their outlook also.  How is this possible? Ever heard of the Rorschach ink spot test?  Pour some ink on a paper and look at it and tell us what  you see. People project their view of the world on the ink spots.  This brings us to the greatest social problem in the country:  people see what they want to see in events and it confirms their beliefs.  Take global warming for another example of this or the events at the southern border. Do we need to help all the poor children or avoid having lots of people come in the country illegally?

Open carry extremists at it again

Once again the open carry extremists are expressing their demands.  MDA does not stand for Moms Demand Action for nothing it appears.

Believe it or not time?

"Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. Craig attributed the drop to better police work and criminals being reluctant to prey on citizens who may be carrying guns.
“Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,” said Craig, who has repeatedly said he believes armed citizens deter crime. “I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed."

This is a bit old but interesting


People wonder why TWW has a sign in his bathroom declaring it to be a gun free zone. Here is why:

TWW will never shop at Hobby Lobby again

That is because he does not know where one is.


According to USA Today this is what the company wants to do and now the courts say they can: 

              "It (the ruling - editor) doesn't affect:
• Most birth control pills
• Condoms
• Sponges
• Sterilization
It does affect:
• Plan B "morning-after pill"
• Ella "morning-after pill"
• Hormonal and copper intrauterine devices (IUDs)
The companies in the case and their supporters object to IUDs and morning-after pills, saying they cause abortions by blocking a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus."
source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/30/morning-after-iuds/11768653/
To a simple country bumpkin like TWW it appears Hobby Lobby is against paying for something they equate with abortion but not many common methods of birth control.
