Tried the < 50 question quiz > from the website Maddog posted.  Scored a 96%, 2 wrong out of 50.

Was hoping to keep the 100% score I had on the 20 question, but no dice.

Where would this country be if Peter Cottontail got cottonmouth?

Matt Fairbanks, an agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration's "marijuana eradication" team in Utah, testified to a state Senate panel last week, and said rabbits could get addicted to pot, lose their natural instincts and sit around getting high all the time should a bill pass that would allow medical marijuana edibles in the state.

Fairbanks testified in opposition to the bill, and spent some of his testimony splitting hares, according to The Washington Post. He claimed that illegal pot farms could have bad environmental consequences, and said he saw rabbits addicted to weed at illegal grow sites.

Automakers Ask Nation If It Still Wants That Handle Above Car Windows

NEW YORK—Emphasizing that it was no trouble to either keep them or do away with them entirely, the world’s automakers assembled Monday to ask the public if it still wanted that little handle above their car windows. “We’ve been putting these interior handles over your car windows for the past 50 years or so, and we just wanted to check to see if you’d like us to continue doing that,” said General Motors CEO Mary Barra, who appeared alongside the heads of major auto manufacturers such as Toyota, Ford, and Hyundai-Kia and stressed that while they personally thought the handles were a nice feature, it would not be a problem at all to discontinue them in future models. “People generally use them for hanging dry cleaning or grabbing during a sharp turn, but maybe you’d be perfectly happy without them. That’s fine with us. Just let us know what works for you, one way or the other.” Barra also emphasized that in the event the handles were eliminated, they could easily be reinstalled if the public really missed them.

< Residents unhappy with name of firearms store >

ST. CROIX FALLS, Wis. (AP) — A western Wisconsin firearms retail store is drawing ire from some local residents because of its name.

About a dozen people spoke out against the signage for F-Bomb Ordnance during an unusually packed city council meeting earlier this month, St. Croix Falls Mayor Brian Blesi said. The residents thought the signage violates the nuisance ordinance.

“The innuendo around it is enough that it really lowers the standards in this community,” resident Amy Klein, who spoke out against the business’s name at the meeting, said Friday. “I just think that we as a community need to hold ourselves to higher standards.”

The city council will take up the issue again today.

F-Bomb Ordnance’s owners said they’re not trying to be inflammatory and that the business should be able to display its name and website — f-bomb.net — on the building.

In May 2014, Meshal was removed from a Bloomington, Minn. mosque, Al Farooq, after he was suspected of radicalizing young people who would later travel to Syria. According to the police report, religious leaders said, “We have concerns about Meshal interacting with our youth.”  Meshal had previously been asked to leave an Eden Prairie, Minn. mosque for similar reasons.

The ACLU recently sued TSA and Homeland Security to have Meshal removed from the “No Fly” list.  But Homeland Security responded in a letter obtained by the FOX 9 Investigators that Meshal, “..may be a threat to civil aviation or national security,” adding that, “It has been determined that you (Amir Meshal) are an individual who represents a threat of engaging in or conducting a violent act of terrorism and who is operationally capable of doing so.”

In 2007, Meshal, a U.S. citizen of Egyptian descent, was arrested in Kenya by the FBI, suspected of leaving a terror training camp in Somalia.

< Students at University of Texas-Austin to Hold Rally >

Some students at the University of Texas in Austin are fed up with the Lone Star State's friendly attitude toward firearms, which has led to new state laws relaxing rules for carrying guns on campus. The students are skipping old-fashioned acts of dissent like marching and carrying signs. Via social media they've begun planning for an in-your-face, sex-positive protest of the new laws: "Campus Carry."

On the Facebook page set up to organize the protest—which is set for August 24, 2016—Jessica Jin wrote that under Texas laws there are heavier penalties for bringing sex toys into classrooms than for carrying firearms, because "Heaven forbid the p#n*s."

S.B. 11 is the Texas "campus carry" law that has Jin and others so pissed off. A Houston Chronicle report explained the protest's timing and why S.B. 11 has stimulated some hot, heavy and throbbing complaints:

Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 11, the campus carry law, in June. Starting in August 2016, the law will allow properly-licensed firearms owners to carry concealed handguns into most buildings on campus. The law also gives a certain amount of latitude to campus presidents, however, to designate so-called "gun-free zones."

In her Facebook post, Jin quoted University of Texas rules that do clearly prohibit expressing "obscenity" on campus to emphasize why dilxxxs were a logical choice to display objections to the campus carry law. Jin ended on a helpful note: "I know that quality dilxxxs, especially super large ones, can be a little pricey. If we can gather enough willing participants, I will personally take it upon myself to put in the time and legwork to find a dilxx supplier sponsorship."

Using sex toys to make some kind of point about gun safety isn't a new idea—in May, BuzzFeed highlighted an unsettling campaign by a gun safety organization that used photos of kids innocently playing with sex toys to make a point about keeping guns secure in the home.

Whatever your opinions on open-carry firearms or dilxx-wielding protesters, we can probably all agree the UT-Austin protest could become dangerously confusing if someone decides to pack a plastic personal private poker that looks like this.
