making an art of backstabbing and backpeddling

Like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, our glorious President has decided to continue funding veteran healthcare for wounds, injuries, or disabilities caused by their service to our country:

“In considering the third-party billing issue, the administration was seeking to maximize the resources available for veterans,”

tab a goes in slot b

When it comes to resources on monolithic scope mounts for AR-15s, or anything else with a dorsal picatinny rail, this is pretty much the best one out there. Some of the information may be a little out-of-date, and some of the newest options on the market may not be …

a retraction

Joe Huffman points out that the DoD instructions for all once-fired brass to be mutilated (which were rescinded yesterday, thankfully) were actually an honest misunderstanding… or, at least, as honest a misunderstanding as the government can make.
In the process, he calls out those of us who were …

she said what?

You just cannot make this kind of stuff up

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is “un-American.”

The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred to the

just a little plea

This post is mostly directed at the BlogSpot users of the universe, but quite a few other webloggers out there could stand to take notice.
Please, please, please make sure you RSS feed carries the full text of your weblog posts. On more than a few weblogs I read (most …

almost there

Surprisingly, today’s gem from Richard Locker, the Commercial Appeal‘s leading anti-firearms journalist, was impressively devoid of rampant hoplophobia, pants-shitting hysterics, and other idiocies he has indulged in previously. Mayhap there is hope after all.
This particular post will actually skip over significant portions of his article, simply …

speak of the devil

Robb was right.
It really would be that easy.
To be fair to all parties involved, the Irish Prime Minister was the first victim of teleprompter dependence, but after that minor mix-up, you would think that our glorious President would be smart enough to check what he was …

accessorizing

Can anyone think of of an overly compelling reason not to use one of these:

… to attach one of these:

… to my non-existent AR-15 upper that might be here next week?
Any bad experiences with Millett/Burris? Any better alternatives that can do similar things for a …

without comment

Today brings two more news reports concerning our glorious new President that I can only copy-paste and not comment on, for the sake of not spewing forth language unfit for those who have not been around sailors before.
To begin with, President Barack Hussein Obama removes funding from the Federal

a little behind the curve

Just as I finish up a post castigating it for the new rule, the federal government went and dropped the requirement for all once-fired brass to be mutilated before being sold:

Dear Loyal Customers,

Thanks to your voice, DOD has rescinded the order to mutilate all spent cases as

credit where credit is due

A lot of the writing I do here is spent complaining about the actions and decisions of local, state, and federal government and government members, much like the previous one. However, from time to time, a member of government actually manages to do or say something right, and they should …

and the plot thickens

Kevin, over at The Smallest Minority, has been keeping up with the new brass-mutiliation edict from our government, and points to this update:

Now all brass ammunition will have to be shredded, and sold as scrap.

Georgia Arms, who brought this to our attention, is the 5th largest ammunition

update to my last

Well, it turns out that “SyFy” refers to sexually transmitted diseases in Poland.
Has no one at NBC heard of this wild and crazy thing called “Google”? Way to go, guys.…

the answer makes itself known

Yesterday, I complained at the lacking quality in the penultimate Battlestar Galactica episode.
Today, we find out why they were doing what they were doing… and I cannot say as though I am encouraged. Once you scroll down through the text of the news article, you stumble across this …

spending where it is worth it

A while ago, I wrote the NRA a nice little email concerning their email and carbon-mail spamming tactics when it comes to getting people to renew their memberships, and I requested that they take the money they would otherwise have spent spamming me, and instead apply it to something acutally… …

bowl of rice

What is the point of putting a six-inch-diameter race tachometer (complete with an inch-diameter shift-light) into an automatic Chevrolet S-10 pickup?
I mean, seriously. Do something about the atrocious after-market baby blue paintjob first, or maybe the heinous condition your aft bumper is in, before you go tacking crap …

must mean a different person

What follows is one of the more amusing claims from one of the hoplophobes supporting the Commercial Appeal’s privacy invasion of law-abiding handgun carry permit holders:

The proponent of the “more guns, less crime” thesis, John Lott, has retreated to the comfort of the far right think tank, the

opportunistic twit

You know, it really does not seem fair that while I am on some seriously hardcore antibiotics for my stomach bug, a common cold moves into my head.
Look at you, the big bad virus, all untouchable by drugs and shiznit. Lucky you, considering what I have coursing through …

well… frak

I have been following the newest incarnation of Battlestar Galactica near-on religiously since its first episode, despite moves, deployments, forest-fires, and whatever else might have come along. And after over four years of spectacular special effects, compelling stories, and a generally impressive epic, I have this to say:
What the …

’bout gorramed time

The ability to rearrange the items on its taskbar is a feature Windows should have always had.
Now it does.
You can thank me later.…
