stick to the script

Is this the “change” you were looking for?

The White House had decided in advance who would be allowed to question the President and who was left out.

Presidents are free to conduct press conferences however they like, but the decision to preselect questioners is an odd one, especially

in perspective

So I hear this multi-hundred-billion dollar spending… er… socialism… er… stimulus bill will basically boil down to $13 extra per week in take-home pay.
At current prices, that will just barely buy me a box of Winchester White Box.
Consider me unimpressed. But just to …

any other questions?

A while ago (when the weather was warmer and such), I inquired as to the best manner to carry a firearm while riding a bicycle, and one of my commenters asked why I would feel the need to do such a thing.
Well, five months later, I have a …

stupidity should hurt

On this, Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, my only consolation concerning these blithering idiots is that one of them probably is not going to propagate in the future. Or, at least, I can hope he will not.
Whether a firearm is loaded with nerf darts, blanks, or honest-to-God bullets, it is …

quote of the day/month/year

After experiencing some “Reasoned Discourse” at the hands of David Codrea (Shocking, I know [/sarcasm], and, unfortunately, unsubstantiatable on my part, since I never thought I would have to back up my comments on another gunblogger’s site – I guess I know better now.), I got into a friendly conversation …

slippery slope

President Barack Hussein Obama’s approval percentage the day he was elected was 65%, and his disapproval percentage was 30%.
His approval percentage yesterday was 60%, and his disapproval percentage was 38%.
Effectively a 13 point swing in just over 20 days. If he keeps this trend up, he will be …

silence from the fourth estate

Unsurprisingly, there has been no response to my letter to the staff of the Commercial Appeal. I say “unsurprisingly” because I am quite certain I am not the only individual who contacted them.
Blue Collar Muse left them all voicemails, as did Liberal CCW.
The Right of

double-edged knife

In my search for a possible future fixed-blade knife, my stumbling and bumbling about the internet resulted in the interesting find of Mantis Knives, a company purportedly interested in pushing the limits of conventional knife manufacturing. A quick look at their product line clearly shows that they are testing …

odark

In searching for the appropriate equipment when building Janus, I, of course, had to address the topic of illumination. While I am a gadget-y kind of person, and enjoy all manner of toys and gizmos, I try to keep the number of things I hang off firearms to a …

defending my privacy

Apparently some Memphis newspaper called the “Commercial Appeal” decided to go ahead and violate the privacy of around 200,000 Tennessee citizens by publishing a searchable database of all handgun carry permit holders in our great state. Apparently they did not learn from the Tennesseean’s experience doing this last

sensor ping LVII

The time has come for another instance… The general premise is that you are free to ping this post (and every other post in this category), as long as you link back to it. Consider it free Google PageRank inflation, or something.

no longer yours

When farcical trials like this one are allowed to proceed, I really start to fear for my country:

Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into

politics of reality

After shafting over his fellow Republicans, Speaker Kent Williams can hardly be surprised by this recent development:

The Tennessee Republican Party stripped House Speaker Kent Williams of his GOP affiliation on Monday as punishment for the Jan. 13 vote in which Williams joined all 49 House Democrats to

keeping things slick

Since I recognized a few websites and people last week, I may as well keep up the trend this week.
A few years back, when I was shopping around for materials and equipment to clean and maintain the few firearms I had back then, I happened to stumble across Militec-1

playing with dolls

As if you needed another reason to watch Joss Whedon‘s new show, Dollhouse… well, here is one:

The first episode is due to be aired on the 13th of this week – my TiVo is already set up.…

back from hiatus

Save Hiatus is back, and has been for a while now.
Be sure to head back to the beginning and catch the whole story from the beginning, if you have not already. Just skip the momentary “hopenchange” blip somewhere around the end of January……

Note to self: Never, ever fly on an aircraft that could ever stand a snowball’s chance in hell of ingesting a bird.
In other news, Captain Sullenberger is potentially more the man, now.…

tinned meat

When dealing with those who wield “reasoned discourse” as easily as they might handle a dinner fork, it is always a good idea to preserve your comments:

Mr. Licht,

If you honestly believe that the Founding Fathers were against individual, private ownership of firearms, you are sorely and completely mistaken:

We actually managed to break 70 today. Dude.…

well-performed perforation

Better Half and I took Janus to the range today. Suffice to say, he performed as well as might be expected:

One strange thing though – I did purchase some 300 grain slugs to use, just in case, you know, and decided to throw one downrange today. The target was …
