Random News For Friday

by Tryan Hartill

National

  • Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 1022 which re-authorizes the “Assault Weapons” ban that Clinton had and adds to it. Luckily she is taking a lot of heat from many of the lefty websites and politically this is a dead end for all but a few elected Democrats in D.C.
  • Marty Meehan is introducing legislation to ax “Don’t ask Don’t tell”.

    H.B. 1059:

    To enhance the readiness of the Armed Forces by replacing the current policy concerning homosexuality in the Armed Forces, referred to as `Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’, with a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

  • Girl in Florida finally gets relief from 5 weeks of hiccups. She averaged 50 a minute over that period…...
  • Georgia reconsidering “No-Knock Warrants”...Yay!

Oregon

  • MO3 can rest easy….Her “KICKER” check this year will be the largest yet.
  • Oregon lawmakers are getting hit with postcards from the Oregon Libertarian Party for their vote on the “Rainy Day Kicker”. Heated discussions at both BlueOregon and NW Republican.
  • Solarworld is buying a unused chip plant in Hillsboro to make solar panels and may need 1000 employees.

Local

  • House Bill 3186 AKA “The Condo Bill” has been introduced in the Oregon House…some highlights:

Prohibiting no-cause evictions during the notification period

Stopping owners from drastic rent increases intended to force tenants out

Giving tenants a meaningful opportunity to purchase their unit

Require relocation payments equal to three-months rent

  • The Coast Guard has made their LNG plan public, some of the highlights:

The Coast Guard will enforce a 500-yard safety zone around liquefied natural gas ships navigating the Columbia River…... also established a 200-yard safety zone around LNG vessels while they are docked and a 50-yard zone around the terminal itself with no ships present. Such zones are designed to minimize the possibility of a terrorist attack.

  • Jewell Superintendent John Seeley and his wife plead not guilty. Is this what all the News vans were doing around town? Seems like a waste of gas to me.
  • Clatsop County sponsoring a Teen Sexual Health Forum on Monday at Camp Rilea.
  • Seaside Artwalk is this Saturday. Anyone know why Astoria doesn’t have something like this?
  • CASA Dinner and Auction tonight at the Holiday Inn. I will be there representing Kiwanis..any other NCO readers going? On a side note, I hope that Carrie doesn’t make me go alone :-(

    re: “Assault Weapons” ban.

    1 – The term “assault weapon” was coined by the Swiss, to refer to military (full-auto) weapons. It was an inspired propaganda tool, designed to further discourage anyone from attacking them.

    2 – The term is vastly overused by politicians, the media, and anti-Constitutional groups. It is commonly used to refer to any firearm that meets cosmetic, rather than any real substantial, requirements. IE; an AR-15 with a pistol grip vs an AR-15 without a pistol-grip. Does the pistol grip make it more deadly, change the rate of fire (from semi-auto to full-aut, say), or change the calibre? No. It would be like outlawing certain clothing whores wear, rather than the act of prostitution.

    3 – I wonder what the Founders of our country would have said about the gov’t banning/taking firearms. Oh, that’s right. We already have an answer to that. Two answers in fact. We have the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution … and the acts of Lexington/Concord.

    re: “No Knock” warrants.

    I wonder how “no knock” warrants fare in states with the “castle doctrine”?

    For those that don’t know, the “castle doctrine” means that if someone enters your home without your permission, you don’t have to retreat from them – you can shoot them dead without any warning. It’s following the historic “common law” that “a man’s home is his castle”.

    While the Constitution doesn’t specifically say a warrant has to actually be presented to the person, I’d bet it was universally accepted as implied in the Fourth Amendment.

    Who me?

    I thought it was funny though when Guy, or someone asked what I did back in the day to deserve to be called the “bad guy”.

    You didn’t have an answer…..

    re: Homosexuals in the military.

    I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Was there a rash of homosexual-related scandals that got ignored by the media in favor of “Tailhook” and the other heterosexual scandals involving the military that were all over the news a few years ago?

    Though I wonder if the liberals have thought this through. Can you imagine what would have happened in the 60’s, if the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was in effect? Who needs to run to Canada, when you can just tell the draft board you’re homosexual (or bi)? Or just perhaps, given Rangel’s rhetoric, that IS what they’re thinking of? They want to close as many possible draft-avoiding loopholes they can, before instituting their draft. Hmmmmm.

    –
    re: LNG exclusiont zone.

    Who’s going to enforce the 50-yard (when no ships are docked) zone? Will we get some of those spiffy new USCG patrol Zodiacs, with the .50-cal machine gun in the local area? btw – bright orange is a stupid color for security patrols. Makes a great target, though.

    And the vessels being escorted through the zone – are they going to be subject to a thorough search first, to make sure they don’t have (say) SAMs onboard? Or will the escort be more along the lines of traffic control? I’m guessing the latter.

    I also think it’s another case of the gov’t claiming it’s keeping us safe, while doing little more than window dressing. Like those people who buy security stickers to put on their windows, without buying the actual security system. It holds up to a casual glance, but the flaw is obvious upon closer inspection.

    I am not rephrasing the question. It is perfect as it is. ;)

    Uh, that’s a great point re: the Castle Doctrine. But, of course, being Georgia they probably haven’t thought of that.

    Yay! My kicker will just about cover ONE month’s gas bill! Best believe I can spend that money more efficiently than the state!

    Huh. If I want my Anna Nicole and Britney news, I obviously can’t go HERE!

    Of course, on the other news stations, I’m gettin’ plenty of coverage of The Siliconed One’s funeral but nary a peep on those no-knock warrants.

    Is this a joke? Weren’t you around for all the Astoria art walks in the 80’s & 90’s ?

    I was around, but didn’t see much of it…. being 8 years old and living in the boonies.

    Gee I probably met you about that time, way out near the Melville area of Lewis & Clark road while doing a little work for Crabo.

    Used to be that there were several art groups like Astoria Visual Arts founded by a group of city mothers that promoted things like art walks and an annual arts celebration. The idea was to make Astoria a more art friendly place. It was a lot of fun and it worked really well. It was a fair amount of commitment for those volunteers I guess they figured they worked themselves out of a job once enough galleries moved in. No reason some of you young whipersnappers couldn’t pick up the ball and bring it back.
