A joke becomes reality: Williams-Sonoma pulls pressure cookers from shelves

Pressure Cooker OutlawedAs I’ve said for years, you can’t write this shite.

You’ve heard all the jokes: “When pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have  pressure cookers.”

So, in a serious note, Williams-Sonoma buys into this meme.

From Reason.com:

Following the Boston Marathon bombing last Monday in which pressure cookers were used for the explosion, the cookware giant has decided to temporarily stop selling the items in their Massachusetts stores.

“It’s a temporary thing out of respect,” said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall.

He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.

Pressure cookers will still be available on the Williams-Sonoma website.

Oh my God.

We are a nation that is SO incredibly ripe for takeover.

Proof: too many people don’t deserve their freedoms and are too stupid to be trusted with a vote

Proof that a frightening number of people are roughly as intelligent as the average ficus.  In truth, that may be an insult to the ficus.

From InfoWars.com — because you NEED to see every one of these videos.

April 12, 2013

Media critic and social analyst Mark Dice shows how people are literally in a trance as he gets people to sign a petition banning their birthrights. The public’s zombie-like mental state is what will allow Obama to get his gun ban through.

In the video below, Mark shows how ill-informed people really are as they comment on news stories about the U.S. nuking China, and China nuking Russia (both of which never really happened).

Recently, Infowars reporter Lee Ann McAdoo was also able to find people that were willing to sign a petition calling for the outright ban of dihydrogen monoxide… which is actually just an uncommon name for water.

Ladies and gentlemen, the people interviewed here aren’t gangbangers.  They aren’t illegal Mexicans who can’t speak English.  They aren’t tribesmen from Ethiopia.  They aren’t the Bantu or the Lebanese.  They aren’t even Klingons.  They are American who were educated in public schools.  I’d wager a number of them acquired so-called “higher education” in our colleges or universities.

Despite that, they are this incredibly, famously, abjectly — I can think of no other word — stupid.

Clear and present evidence as to how Mr Obama got elected, and why our nation finds itself in its current state.

“Undecideds” vs “Nonvoters:” is the election in their hands because “They’re too busy, fed up or say their vote doesn’t count”– ?

From NBCNews.com:

Political pundits say undecided voters will determine the election, but little is said about people like Brown, King and Lala, who aren’t voting. Since the 1960s, voter turnout has steadily declined in the U.S., which already ranks near the bottom among established democracies. In 2008, 64 percent of voting-age citizens voted, compared with 93 percent in Chile, 86 percent in Germany and 74 percent in Canada.

Frankly, it was the “decided not to vote, stayed at home” persons — mostly Conservatives — who put Mr Obama in the White House in 2008.

Thanks, guys.

Further:

NBC News recently asked readers via Twitter, Facebook and through NBCNews.com to tell us why they won’t cast their ballots. Their responses paralleled those from a 2008 survey by the U.S. Census Bureau: They don’t like their choices, they’re busy or they’re not interested.

“Everyone’s pressed for time these days and therefore whether or not an employer is actively allowing people to vote the employees may feel time-pressed or constrained to take that legally protected time,” said Susan Schoenfeld, senior legal editor for Business & Legal Resources, which provides guidance to employers on human resources issues.

Back in 2008, I KNOW there was a rather large contingent of Conservatives who simply decided to stay home on Big Tuesday.

What do you think now?

I know there will be a certain percentile of lazy persons who will stay home simply “because.”  They are the uninvolved, the disinterested, the indifferent.

But “undecided”?

I ask again: how incredibly stupid must you be to choose this category?  Even elementary school children can see through the ways of Mr Obama.
