"Insta-Pun"

Add to the long long list of thing I disagree with Instapundit on: “WHAT WE NEED IS MORE PUN CONTROL.”

“Anything else will PALIN Comparison”
“I’m just BIDEN my time until the election is over.”

Remember, you can’t spell INSTAPUNDIT without PUN. Or should I call you Instadit?

Years ago, I considered doing a parody of Instapundit called “Instapunster”. Even registered instapunster.com to do it. But I got nothing done in the next year, and there were ‘hotter’ political blogs than his by then, so I let the domain lapse. Nobody else has picked it up since, so I just registered it again. Another $9.29 mistake at NameCheap? (Since discovering that registry I’ve wasted at least a couple hundred dollars a year there, but I have kept a few dangerous domain names out of the hands of websters even more evil than I) But I digress.

I agree with this response to Mr. Dit: “When puns are outlawed, only outlaws will have puns.”
Puns don’t kill people.
People can’t use puns to people.
Puns cause pain to some people but delight and laughter to some other people. Show me a gun-related product that can say THAT. Besides a pro-gun bumper sticker… and that might likely be a gun-related pun. What about pun-related guns? Only if you shoot Chester in the chest with a Winchester. Or fill a Smith & Wesson water pistol with Wesson Oil. (That’s why there are no Magnum water guns. Too heavy.) Or if you catch somebody rifling through your paper files – with a real rifle. Or why you don’t have to worry whether the security guards at office supply stores are armed: they’re only Staples guns. I’m not even going to start to get into the ‘pistol’ puns; nope, not going there.
