Just think – we are less than six months into our current Presidential administration, and already the flaunting of American laws has reached a point where journalists are finally willing to write about it:
Such a federal ukase (the word derives from czarist Russia; how appropriate) to a state
Oh, and that bill that was causing the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal to piss their pants? You know, the one that would allow law-abiding handgun carry permit holders to carry their firearms into restaurants so they can defend themselves and their families going to, eating at, and …
It is these kinds of wastes of governmental time, money, effort, and publicity that simultaneously sadden me, and annoy the ever-loving hell out of me. On the one hand, we are seeing some priceless history being destroyed, simply because the government paid someone $100 – I count one fairly nice …
And now for something not normally covered on this weblog… camera porn: Its instruction manual identifies it as a Leica IIIc, but its serial number identifies it as a IIIf – honestly not sure, myself, but suffice to say that it is a bit old. Now I just need …
President Barack Hussein Obama’s plans not only made our unemployment situation worse, they made our unemployment situation worse than even he thought it would be had our government done nothing. The original source for the data in the graph is here, and the current unemployment numbers are common …
Well, it looks as though our dreams of home ownership will have to be postponed for the time being… Despite us knowing that the current owner bought the house for X, and despite the current owner knowing that we know that information, he still wants an offer of at least…
Last month, Ben Goeser was shot and murdered in a bar in Nashville. Neither Mr. Goeser, nor his murderer had Handgun Carry Permits, but Nicole Goeser did… and was forced to leave her firearm in the car, given Tennessee’s current laws barring handguns from restaurants that serve alcohol. However, …
There is a certain amount of irony in the fact that two GMRS two-way radios with a range of 20 miles are cheaper than two home intercoms with a range of 1000 feet. Granted, an all-room conference call might take a little orchestration to set up with the radios, but …
One of the favorite tactics employed by the hoplophobes, anti-rights activists, and gun-grabbers of America is to trot forward the supposed opinions and stances of police chiefs around the country on how “gun control” is “necessary”, banning firearms is “necessary”, and otherwise abridging and infringing on Constitutionally-protected rights is “necessary” …
Budget office figures released Monday would add $89 billion to the 2009 red ink — increasing it to more than four times last year’s all-time high as the government hands out billions more than expected for people who have lost jobs and takes
Reason #4328 You Are A “Gun Nut”: You see a hole in a wall for a fold-down ironing board, and immediately think that it would be absolutely perfect for one of these.…
So Better Half and I just put an offer down on a house. I will refrain from discussing specifics on here, but the price of the house is an interesting story. We know that last year, the current owner of the house (who is also the REALTOR selling the house) …
Of all the specious and outright idiotic arguments put forward by the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal concerning the new legislation to allow law-abiding handgun carry permit holders to carry their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol, the one featured in this moronic editorial pretty much takes the cake. …
I am a sucker for taking pictures of old buildings, especially ones that have started succumbing to entropy, whether it is due to abandonment, of simply the ravages of copious temporal displacement. One such structure I have had the opportunity to photograph is Fort Barrancas, and the pictures follow …
For the sake of not spoiling anything for anyone, I will simply leave my comments concerning the new Star Trek movie at this: It is gorramed awesome. No, it is not your father’s Star Trek – sure, all the names are there, and the characterizations are dead on… but just …
Not knowing a gorramed bit of Visual Basic before I started futzing around with it yesterday, I have to admit to being somewhat proud of being able to pull the following two snippets of code out of my arse:
Sub Example1() totalrows = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count newname = 2 For Row =
Unsurprisingly, soon after HB0962 passed the Tennessee House, Richard Locker had a news article up about it over at the Commercial Appeal – you have to give the guy credit, he is definitely on top of that particuliar topic. Additionally, this time around, his news story was amazingly bias- …
“It is not our responsibility to take wild stabs at guessing what other people’s motivations and desires are – it is other people’s responsibility to not threaten us with force if we do not give them what they want, and to not take what is not rightfully theirs.” by Linoge
