I thought about posting this when I saw the story pop up on another forum I visit back in october or so. I decided not to because I didn't want anyone to hurt themselves dreaming up scenarios where it would have been impossible for this man to get to his gun making a car antennae the only useful weapon or that when you shoot someone, they always die and who wants that on their conscious?

I mean. If there had been no gun, there would have been no crime.

R. C. Soles had an A rating with the NRA as recently as 2008.

2008 Based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionnaire sent to all candidates in 2008, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund assigned Senator Soles a grade of A (with grades ranging from a high of A+ to a low of F).

Soles was also one of 42 Senators who voted for the Castle Doctrine which allows for the use of deadly force in the case of home invasions.

The RW meme that Soles was some hard core anti-gun nut is false.

K, Vern?

Be Well.

Although the headline I created about ol' R.C. Soles being against gun ownership isn't supported by the story or any other documented information slapped up here -- searching, still searching -- what do you expect? I mean, hey, I'm me, right?

Yes, yes, yes, I know. I could've made some noodles out of allegations lodged against Sen. Soles -- inlcuding embezzlement, arson, child molestation, the business with the pepper spray, and that mysterious fire at his abode -- but that would've cut so close to home you might've thought I was getting all autobiographical again, boasting as it were, calling attention to myself.

And that's something I just will not do, call attention to myself. By the way, have I told you that I'm running the world's biggest opium cartel from the back porch of my hooch in the Nan Chi Chang district, overseeing a burgeoning business in the untapped market of producing porn for poodles, fermenting a fantastic concoction of liquid effluvium created by blending pot belly pig vomit and chlorine which I call "Come and Get It Kids," and seeing what I can do about getting a refund on my mail order brides? No? It's because that would be boasting.

Praise Jeebus!

Hey, Vermin, in searching the papers for stories published on August 24, 2009 you missed 1-down on the NYT crossword puzzle: "What a cow chews" (CUD).

Do you just lay the empty bottle on your pillow, reach into your mattress, grab some of the newsprint stuffing, drag it out and think you're reading the latest news?

LOL.

Ahhh...my man, Doc, is back in form this morning. Makes my day. Still using those big words like "effluvium" too. Do you know if Vern has found a market for it? Also, I might be interested in researching that "porn for poodles." Maybe you could post a link to the site?
You should hold a seminar on DR website writing style. If I may, I nominate DeadPud for your first enrollee. He's been a wannabe for quite some time.

Hey there, Jest, how you doing?

"Still using those big words like 'effluvium' too."

I looked it up. You have to be careful here; things have a way of coming back and nipping the sender every now and again.

"Also, I might be interested in researching that 'porn for poodles.' Maybe you could post a link to the site?"

Unfortunately it looks like the NC Democrat was a child predator too.

Unfortunately it looks like the NC Democrat was a child predator too.

It's OK since the democrats are the party that don't espouse morals and values.

"Unfortunately it looks like the NC Democrat was a child predator too."

Yes, yes, yes. Perhaps a child predator (as I already said), embezzler, and arsonist.

But a friend of the NRA. Surely that counts for something.

So Doc, Your willing to overlook all the rest because he's a Democrat?

He's a pro-gun, arsonist, embezzler and child molester, but it's ok because he's a Democrat.

"So Doc, Your willing to overlook all the rest because he's a Democrat?"

Wow, you go from zero to straight-off-the-track in, what, about a second?

"Unfortunately it looks like the NC Democrat was a child predator too."

Yes, yes, yes. Perhaps a child predator (as I already said), embezzler, and arsonist. But a friend of the NRA. Surely that counts for something.

It's called sarcasm, s-a-r-c-a-s-m.

The real hoot here, though, isn't your inability to recognize sarcasm when you see if but Vermin's failure to find anything he comes across in his shambolic universe that he considers worth posting short of a six-month-old story to which he's compelled to append an inaccurate headline.

That's not sarcasm. That's just fuckin' hilarious.

I saw your sarcasm and raised you one. Simple as that...

"Based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionnaire sent to all candidates in 2008, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund assigned Senator Soles a grade of A"

While I loathe to respond to TaterHead ... this statement was too stoopid to ignore.

"...the results of a questionnaire sent to all candidates in 2008 ..."

Send Drunk_Dwarf a questionnaire about how intelligent and erudite he THINKS HE IS, and what do you suppose you'd get back? He'd even claim to stay sober til after 1 p.m.

Besides that, the questionnaire went out during the 2008 campaign, which means it was filled out by one of the guy's campaign staff.

"Hmmmm, the NRA? Lotta gun owners in North Carolina. What should I say?"

"I saw your sarcasm and raised you one. Simple as that..."

Unfortunately, Stirs, you don't know how to play the game. Take my advice, stick to Indian Poker.

Thanks for the update, letting us know you're not just fermenting but actually test driving the steaming concoction of liquid effluvium that results from your careful blending of pot belly pig vomit and chrlorine in a rusty barrel half-buried in the midden back of your hootch and attempt to market in recycled 33.8-ounce Trader Vic's Mai Tai Mix plastic bottles under the fetching name "Uncle Vermin's Praise Jeebus Come N' Get It Kids Power Soda."

Funny that it took only three posts for Vernon to be bashed and the ever famous "Buffalo Bob car antenna" remark to be brought back once again. The latter is one of the longest running gags I've seen here on DR, and it still makes me smile.

I figure an intruder or attacker getting shot is just another hazard of their chosen profession.

Forget the partisan nature of your posting. More relevant is the inherent right to self-defense. What if a strict second amendment was in effect. Could there have been a 911 on commercial airliners? What about numerous other incidents involved where citizens are disarmed by law.
