| WASHINGTON — Is your workplace getting shot up by a crazed gunman? No problem — just grab a pair of scissors and fight back! That’s some of the helpful advice in a new instructional video from the Department of Homeland Security that was posted on the agency’s Web site just a month after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. “If you are caught out in the open and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available,” says the

No thanks. I`ll stick with the Great Equalizer. Besides, my mommy told me never to run with scissors.

So Homeland Security is going to listen to their own advice, take the weapons away from their employees, and give them scissors???
And, of course, President Øvomit is going to disarm his Secret Service agents and only let them have scissors too, to set a good example for the American people???
Nope, didn´t think so. Scissors are only for the unarmed peasants...

If we´re not careful, you´ll have to go through a background check before you can buy sharp scissors at Staples or Target, and will need a CCP to have some in your purse for self-protection.

Wow. I guess if they think scissors will work just fine against the ´assault weapon´ carrying shooter, those so called assault weapons aren´t so dangerous afterall?
And here´s something else. Why aren´t they urging people to stab the gun instead of the shooter? This is what Finestein would have us do. Afterall, its the gun´s fault.

Such a simple solution. Why didn´t the 3,000 dead on 9/11 think of this? They should have just stood in the window of the WTC and brandished their scissors as the planes approached and played rock, paper, box cutters, scissors.
It is sobering to know that this is what our leadership think of us and our intelligence.

Sissors at 12 inches may be an excellent weapon to collect payment due for services rendered from a reluctant US Senator or Gov. agent but at 25 feet against a shooter ( gun not at fault) is a death wish. DiFI´s anti-gun bill didn´t get past the sissors in committee.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.

But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
