does not play well with others

For some odd reason, TiVo Desktop 2.7.x does not work well with my computer – as in it cannot see my TiVo, cannot transfer files, cannot share My Music or My Pictures, cannot do anything that it is supposed to.
For clarification, I am running Windows Vista 32 (one of …

birds of a feather

It would appear as though Otis L. Sanford was jealous of all of the attention Richard Locker was getting over his idiotic comments earlier, so he has decided to go ahead and jump into the fray with his own variety of ignorance as well. I am going to …

sensor ping LVIV

Seems linkfests are going by the wayside, but here another is… 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.

coolest book ever

Pocket RefPocket RefTrust me. You want one. In fact, you might want more than one. This teensy little book has enough information in it to cover everything from all major conversions to military ranks and insignia to how water is discharged out of different kinds of pipes to the conveyor slope …

this could get exciting

Russia is considering basing strategic bombers at airfields in Cuba and Venezuela.
Unfortunately, we no longer have President Kennedy in office, or even anyone of the same caliber.
This could get very interesting……

in omega men

In light of some recent news, a method for finding cheap ammunition is going to become more and more important as the days go on, the hoarding increases, the cost of raw materials goes up, and supply finds itself unable to keep up with demand.
To simplify things, I …

no brass for you!

Both The Smallest Minority and Tam already have this situation well in-hand, but spreading the word certainly will not hurt…
It seems as though the Defense Logistics Agency has decided to start destroying once-fired brass before they sell it to the public:

Dear Valued Customer:

Please take a moment to

separation of church and school

For the fifth through eighth grades of my education, I was homeschooled by my mother. After that, I attended a Roman Catholic high school, and intentionally came in third out of my class of 150-odd students (the valedictorian and saludatorian were expected to give speeches, and I hate talking to …

slippery slope

It goes without saying, but more and more Americans are less and less impressed with the performance of President Barack Hussein Obama:

It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama’s high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high

who watches

Well, I actually went to see Watchmen last weekend, and I have this to say for it:
Huh.
I went ahead and saw the movie without reading the book, simply because I had seen multiple reports throughout the internet that the movie deviated from the original story significantly, and I …

this is why hoplophobes will lose

What follows is a direct quote from an email sent by Richard Locker, the author of some recent Commercial Appeal articles concerning firearm-related bills working their way through the Tennessee Legislature. This email was sent in response to another email sent by a member of a forum I read, …

trying for more justification

Another day, another rationalization by the Commercial Appeal to defend their privacy-invading database of handgun carry permit holders.

Kiandre Sims was well armed the night he kicked in a back door and sexually assaulted his ex-girlfriend.

Carrying an assault rifle and a handgun, Sims forced the woman into a

spring has sprung

Trees that were nude a week ago now have hundreds of beautiful little white blossoms adorning every branch.
And they all smell like rotting sewage.
Stupid trees. They do not even make pears……

let me be frank

Regarding my post yesterday regarding ShootingUSA’s decision to not cover this year’s Boomershoot, allow me stress a few points that perhaps were not stressed as strongly in the original post.
First, Jim Scoutten can show whatever he wants on his television show. Conversely, he does not have to show …

hope and change

I am unable to write about this topic coherently, so I will simply let this quote from the appropriate CNN article stand for itself:

Veterans groups are warning President Barack Obama against going ahead with a possible administration move to charge veterans’ private health care for service-related injuries.

In a

conflation and association

And, predictably, the Commercial Appeal sinks to a new low, now attempting to conflate law-abiding, private handgun carry permit holders with the murderer in Alabama. Of course, given that the Commercial Appeal was already associating handgun carry permit holders with felons, sex offenders, and hate crime perpetrators, this …

darwin strikes again

A career criminal tried to forcibly and illegally gain entrance to a trucker’s cab last night, not far from Coal Creek Armory. Said criminal is no longer breathing.
In terms of legality, Tennessee State Code 39-11-611 (c) seems to exonerate the trucker, but, as always, I am not …

playing the publicity game

I admit it – I do not watch Shooting USA, partially because I do not think my cable subscription picks up the Outdoors Channel, and partially because watching other people shoot really is not all that fun. Sure, it can be educational and all, if you are looking for …

abusing tragedies

It would seem as though another deranged murderer decided that it would be better to go out with a bang, than have the decency to just go ahead and shoot himself, since that seems to have been the ultimate goal:

The death toll now stands at 12, including the gunman.

guilt by association

Do you want to know the best part about the Commercial Appeal’s privacy-invading database of handgun carry permit holders? Here we are, almost a month after this whole froofera hit the public scene, and the staff of the Commercial Appeal continues to categorize law-abiding handgun carry permit holders …
