Taken through the window of my apartment, so excuse the poor quality: They appear to be chowing down on the flying insects (not ants) that are infesting our potted plants on our porch. That is perfectly acceptable, and something we would like to encourage, really. Nesting behavior, however, will not…
Meet Dave is highly recommended from the family here at wotc… Situational comedy, double/triple-entendres, and a quirky view on the human species from some folks who are not from around here. And it manages to be damned hilarious while still maintaining a PG rating. Works for us.…
Obama: What do you do Walter? Walter: I work at, uh, NGA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Obama: Outstanding, how long you been doing that? Walter: About six years Obama: Yea? Walter: Yes. Obama: You like it? Walter: I do, keeps me… Obama: So
For those of you who have been reading this weblog for about two years now (all… none of you, probably), you might just remember that shortly after purchasing my M1A SOCOM II, I stumbled across an interesting offering from a company called Kel-Tec – their RFB. At the …
Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last
Unsurprisingly for those who have been paying attention to Tennessee politics, our governor, Phil Bredesen, decided to veto the bill allowing law-abiding handgun carry permit holders from carrying their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol. This is, as I said, relatively unsurprising, given that Phil has reached his term limit, …
Even though I will not be at the Gunblogger Rendezvous shindig this year, something tells me I might be purchasing a few of these tickets. Like Kevin said, it could be a ten-dollar 1911… how can you complain about that?…
Want. Granted, the darned thing weighs 11 pounds, its rounds only travel at 100 ft/s, their impact energy is only somewhere around 13 foot-pounds (a .22LR’s bullet hits with a minimum of about 100 ft-lb), and the recycle rate is an atrocious 8 seconds… as long as it is …
Coincidentally appropriate for the day, while North Korea was testing their new nuclear toys, Better Half and I were exploring Alcoa’s own “Millennium Manor“. Les Jones has probably the best collection of news concerning this fascinating bit of American architecture, so I will just regale you with the …
What happens when the federal government cannot balance its books and spends itself flat broke? Does it have to file bankruptcy and reorganize its spending to be balanced, while simultaneously paying off the debts it has? Of course not! When the government goes broke, it just increases taxes… or …
This is probably the worst movie tie-in product I have ever seen. Oh, and the movie? Yeah, it sucked. It was not bad, per se, there was just nothing there – no real story development, no real character development… it seemed like the viewers were trapped in a low-quality …
It is unfortunate that it takes drastic police lay-offs to teach people what they always should have known, but I guess that is life these days. Here is the simple truth, folks: you are responsible for your own safety. You cannot count on the police, because they have no legal …
Unlike the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal, who still cannot be bothered to provide links substantiating the claims and assertions in their editorial writings, Richard Locker appears to have figured out the magic of hyperlinks, and was able to sneak one such link pointing to the Commercial Appeal’s …
North Korea tested short-range military missiles a few days ago in defiance of international sanctions. That is bad. North Korea tested its first successful nuclear warhead a few days ago in defiance of other international sanctions. That is really bad. North Korea just decided today that it is no longer …
So, does anyone have anything good, bad, or ugly to say about the Canon Rebel XTi DSLR? I am considering snagging a factory refurbished one for $350 (including an 18-55mm lens), and was wondering if this was worth it for my first foray into the world of DSLR.…
