see to it

The inimitable man behind the daily Second Amendment Round-Up, Mr. Anthony Martin, is headed for some rather serious medical examinations and, hopefully, treatments. He could use whatever prayers and happy thoughts you might be willing to send his way.…

deal with the devil

Do we really want to go down this path:

The new legislation, the “Pay for Performance Act of 2009,” would impose government controls on the pay of all employees — not just top executives — of companies that have received a capital investment from the U.S. government. It would,

back and forth

Ok, this is just starting to be funny… Richard Locker is turning into the Star Trek movie series of the Commercial Appeal. First, his bias appears to know no bounds. Not surprising, given the company he works for. But, then, he tries to hide that bias, with only …

in the mail

Yesterday, I received a monitor for computer that was dead at the time of order and delivery (but now is barely working), and a hard drive enclosure for a drive extracted from a very dead laptop.
Today, I picked up 1000 rounds of .223, for an upper I do not …

i am simon jester

After some relatively careful thought and consideration (I know, I know, how strange for me, eh?), I can only come to the conclusion that I am Simon Jester:

We are Simon Jester.

We are not anarchists.

We are not Far-Right or Far-Left. We are the seventy percent in

government motors

I can hardly put together a coherent response to this news:

It is my hope that the steps I am announcing today will go a long way towards answering many of the questions people may have about the future of GM and Chrysler. But just in case there are

anonymous sources

The below blockquote came from a forum I routinely read, and the sources for this information are alleged to be eployees within the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and thus are requesting to remain anonymous (for obvious reasons, given the nature of the below allegations). I present the quote with …

honesty is (apparently) overrated

Wow. I have to admit to being somewhat impressed. It would appear as though the Commercial Appeal somehow managed to go over a full week without putting up another hoplophobic, anti-rights editorial. At least it gives me something to write about, right?

Considering the energy state legislators are putting

blame america

The Wandering Minstrel pointed me towards someone who handed Secretary of State Clinton’s recent trip to Mexico far better than I ever could have, so I will simply tell you to head over and check it out. Short, sweet, to-the-point. I like it.
I might add a few things to …

big badda-boom

Apparently, the technicians at Mythbusters need to recalibrate their definition of “safe distance“:

A big explosion, in the name of science, scared a lot of people in a small town.

Mythbusters went to Yolo County and ended up with a bigger bang than expected.

“It was a boom

mother nature’s emp

Once you dig past the self-demonization of the human species, the environmentalist claptrap, and the “we did it to ourselves” self-flagellation, this could be an interesting problem:

IT IS midnight on 22 September 2012 and the skies above Manhattan are filled with a flickering curtain of colourful light. Few

pure filth

It is gos-se like this that makes me positively disgusted at what portions of America, and American culture, have become:

With the Oakland Police Department mourning the violent deaths of four of its own, a group Wednesday staged a vigil for the man authorities say gunned down the fallen officers.

and so it ends

Well, after all this time, my short-and-sweet review of the Battlestar Galactical finale is this: “That was predictable.”
For those who are concerned about spoilers, I would recommend against reading any farther, because I am going to get all manner of spoileriffic. But, suffice to say, this series could have …

scheduling the shindig

Gun Blogger Rendezvous IV is currently scheduled for the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of September, and hotel registration is already open (just be sure to call the Silver Legacy directly at 1.800.687.8733 and use the group code of GBLOG09 to get reduced rates). For those keeping track, this …

happens in pairs

Apparently, when I turned off my computer by way of its power button (due to my monitor being unable to display anything, and me not remembering the keystrokes necessary to shut down Vista), my sole, solitary hard drive decided to go and kick the bucket as well.
I have most …

no-see-um

Posting, commenting, or doing much of anything else computer-related might be somewhat difficult for the forseeable future, on account of my monitor deciding to go and die on me last night.
And while this whole “Internet-on-the-phone” thing is undeniably shiny, it is far from a long-term solution.…

doltish devaluation

I am starting to get the impression that everyone in our new President’s administration has been taking public speaking lessons from Vice President Biden (whatever has happened to him, anywise?). Case in point: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s attempt to unwittingly assassinate the American dollar.

Geithner was initially asked at

those darned expectations

I am not sure which is more amusing:
Option 1 – Our glorious President’s transparent teleprompters have been replaced with a big-screen television us peons can only dream of having in our living rooms (TOTUS would like to make it clear that it was still the brain behind the …

restaurants and rights

While I was castigating Mike Chase’s hoplophobic comments here, and getting quoted (but not credited) at a Tennessee newspaper’s site, I was also filling out the “Contact Us” section of the appropriate webpage.
The exact content of what I sent them is more-or-less a compressed version …
