The President is of course entitled to say any dumb thing he wants. But he lowers himself into idiocy with his speech about gun control. Most damning is his throwaway, cutesy-pie comment that if there was one thing we could do to save the life of a child, we should do it.

Politics be damned. With that in mind, the President should explain why the number of children killed by firearms in a year is substantially less than the number of children killed by abortion in a single day.

While the Czar does not mean to echo Ghettoputer, the big guy has the ultimate argument: liberals have no position to argue for gun control as long as they have pro-infanticide hanging them. Every argument they make for abortion is a logical argument against gun control; conversely, every argument they use to reject gun libertarianism is an argument that can be used against abortion.

So therefore, Mr. President, tackle the bigger problem first. Promote another one of your handy executive orders against abortion. Then we can talk gun control.

Otherwise, you’re incoherent.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
