sometimes, a flag is just a flag

On the one hand, before the elections, then-Senator Barack Hussein Obama could not even be bothered to wear a small flag pin on the lapel of his suit. On the other hand, President Barack Hussein Obama now surrounds himself with flags, and even manages to wear the pin.…

call to calm

In regards to the privacy-invading database that the Commercial Appeal has put up on their webpage, a lot of things have been said by both sides of the debate; however, one thing came through very loud, and very clear – those supporting the database, and more specifically, the journalists who …

commercial update

In response to the public hue and cry concerning their privacy-invading database of handgun carry permit holders, the Commercial Appeal did not take it down… no… they went and updated it.
Their numbers are slightly more believable this time around, claiming 219,245 entries as of 31JAN09 (and still active …

maybe still his, after all

The court trial I mentioned a few weeks back concerning an Arizona resident who was defending his private property from tresspass by illegal aliens has finally come to a conclusion, and unbeknownst to me, David Hardy, of Arms and the Law fame, was one of the defense attorneys on …

breaking out the heavy machinery

If you want to find out what information the all-knowing, all-seeing internet has on you and people you know, Taxing Tennessee has a listing of search engines that will help you do just that. Unsurprisingly, given my frequent moves over the past ten years, none of the search engines in …

decorating the dollhouse

As you could have probably predicted, I recorded and watched Joss Whedon‘s new television show, Dollhouse. What follows will be my mostly-spoiler-free take on this new series, so if you do not want to know anything at all before you watch it yourself (if you have not already), …

rhetorical question

Was Neal Stephenson paid by the word when he wrote Cryptonomicon?
I am not saying it is a bad book, but… gorram, a four-page description of some schmuck eating Captain Crunch? Ok then……

logical disconnect

On the one hand, we have President Barack Hussein Obama demanding that the specious “stimulus” bill be signed now, now, NOW, in addition to Representatives and Senators signing said bill without ever having had a chance to read it; and on the other hand, we have …

words matter

In a lot of states where the carrying of firearms for self-defense is licensed, the permit is often a “Concealed Carry Permit”, or a “Concealed Weapon Permit”, or a “Concealed Carry of Weapon” permit, or somesuch other combination of those words. In some states, open carry is legal without a …

cleaning the air

Setting your oven to “Self Clean” does as advertised – it incinerates just about all of the debris, grease, and miscellaneous junk that tends to accumulate in its metal box.
Unfortunately, all of the superheated gases, ashes, and waste materials that result from this incineration have to go somewhere – …

open the floodgates

Dude, I just got my happy ass Instalanched! That certainly explains the large, server-shaped imprint on the back of my head……

commercial fisking

*headdesk*
It seems as though the Commercial Appeal (and, more specifically, its editor – Chris Peck) cannot stop putting up half-assed rationalizations for their handgun carry permit holder database. Once more into the fisking breach I go.

Misunderstandings with people who carry guns can turn ugly.

Oh, sure, …

comment autocracy

To all those individuals who would like to leave comments at the Commercial Appeal concerning their invasion of private, law-abiding citizens’ privacy by publishing a database of handgun carry permit holders, and especially at their most recent editorial rationalizing their actions, I offer this warning:
After you leave …

another attack on privacy

It seems as though the Commercial Appeal just cannot stop rationalizing away their “logic” for posting the searchable database of handgun carry permit holders… methinks they dost protest too much. Oh well, it gives me blogfodder, and lets me flex my fisking skills.

Encouraged by adverse reaction to a database

we are screwed

If I had any children, I would be apologizing profusely to them today.
The specious “stimulus” package, with a price tag of over $787,000,000,000.00, passed both houses of Congress yesterday.
If anyone honestly thinks President Barack Hussein Obama will not sign this, you are fooling yourself.
I always wondered …

spreading the wealth

Since it is becoming apparent that the staff of the Commercial Appeal does not care about the opinion of the public they are supposedly serving, it is time to take this one step farther – to the people who pay them for advertisement space. After poking around on their webpage …

getting railed

Simply put, Democrats lie:

“The American people have a right to know what’s in this bill,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told HUMAN EVENTS after the press conference. “Every member of Congress — Republicans and Democrats — voted to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours, 48 hours

made the bigtime

The same fine gentleman who runs the daily Second Amendment News Roundup just landed himself a gig as Columbia, South Carolina’s Conservative Political Examiner. Shiny!
On another note, who knew the Examiners got paid? Too bad the closest Tennessee Examiner positions are… well… not close.…

fire with fire

Three days later, no response. Granted, they might be busy, but the database is still up and operational… just partially hidden behind pretty graphs and text. Time to level the playing field a little.
This information has undoubtedly been reposted elsewhere, but below is a list of …
