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.…
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:
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…
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…
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 plugged…
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…
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…
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
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
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…
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.
So, over a month has passed since I started usingFreeNAS – what do I have to say about it? To put it simply, it works. The networked drives are always on my network and accessible from any computer on my network (not a…
Well, it seems as though this past weekend was a bad one to take a break from news and a mostly-hiatus from weblogging. On Monday, North Korea nuked itself in their first successful nuclear warhead test ever, and the first nuclear warhead test on our globe since…
You will probably only have about six hours to jump on this deal by the time you read this post, but GoGamer.com has BlackSite: Area 51 for PC and Prey for PC for $1.90 and $1 respectively. I have demoed both, and while neither first-person shooter…
I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in
Attention all hoplophobes, anti-rights activists, gun-grabbers, Brady Campaign members, Violence Policy Center members, victimhood projectionists, anti-self-defense scoundrels, nanny-statists, and anyone else who would strip us of our naturally-granted and Constitutionally-protected rights and freedoms: Our current President – you know, President Barack Hussein Obama, the man you heralded…
When you get right down to it, Too Human is a fairly uninspired rip-off on Diablo and just about every other dungeon-diving third-person game out there… But God bless it is addictive. Oh, and the whole technoviking thing is just cool. Anywise, if you can find it used…
Since I have the joy of having today off, I thought I would introduce you all to the weather that prevented me from going to the range last Saturday: …
When doing a Google search for “walls of the city“, the first hit is predictably this site, but how does one go about adjusting what shows up in the two columns of links under it? Example: I have no idea how those links were even chosen…
Why do city planners insist on placing residential districts on the sides of relatively busy highways, and why do developers insist on building relatively nice neighborhoods on those tracts?
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent(sic) into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
The Tennessee Senate recently voted that handgun carry permit holders should be allowed to carry their firearms into state and local parks unless the specific municipalities in charge of those parks say otherwise… and, predictably, Chris Peck and the rest of the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal…
I strive to keep this weblog somewhere around a PG-13 rating, just because I want to. As such, I am going to go ahead and issue a fair warning to any and all reading this particular post – if you read any further in this post, or click the “More…
Mr. Huffman reminded me of this and while I have been postponing writing about it, I guess I should go ahead and bite the bullet… What I am about to say will probably surprise a few people, but that is all the fun of weblogging, right? Simply and specifically…
Botach Tactical has what I would politely describe as a “rudimentary” webpage – as ecommerce sites go, it is about as bare-bones as you can possibly get and still have images. However, they were running a 10% off sale this past week, and I decided to give them a shot…
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” by Ayn Rand
