heard on the way home

Me: Huh. Lookit that – a Hooters To Go.

Better Half: Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

Me: Yeah… pretty much.

Unless, of course, the sign is referring to waitresses rather than food… after all, no one goes to Hooters for the wings.…

down south

Better Half and I are headed down to the land where even obeying the law can result in you getting legally arrested for a long weekend… Good fun. But, as they say, “concealed means concealed”. Unfortunately, for some stupid reason,Brigade Quartermasters decided to close their Kennesaw main store, …

so cute!

Spoon, fork, bottle opener, flat-head screwdriver, prybar, three sizes of hex wrenches, caribiner, and a last-ditch defense tool.
I want one.
And while I was less-than-impressed with their Neckolas, CRKT’s new FLUX modular multitool system looks vaguely interesting.…

Now that I have adequately vented my spleen for today, it is time for something a little more amusing: the truth.…

ipad is super-absorbant

Ok, now that some of the messes of various bodily fluids have been cleaned up from the tubes comprising the internet, I have been able to determine a few specifics concerning Apple’s new ZOMGITZGLORIOUSANDWONDERFULANDMAGICALANDZOMG product:
1. It does not support Flash. Really? No Flash? Are you kidding me? Because, you …

If there was anything right in our country today, President Barack Hussein Obama would soon be facing impeachment charges.
And no, I am not just saying that for the hyperbole value.
Last night, during his STFU SOTU speach, Our Glorious President said the following:

With all due deference to

quote of the day

As spoken by South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andrew Bauer:

You see, for the first time in the history of this country, we’ve got more people voting for a living than we do working for a living.

Truth. And that is why proponents of larger governments (of either major political …

know your history

Any time an anti-rights advocate claims that pro-rights activism is useless, and increased “gun control” is undeniably part of our future, just point out to them how far we have come in the past 30ish years:

It’s 1974. No legal academic is thinking seriously of the Second Amendment; there

world’s tiniest violin

So the Bullitt has taken a little getting-used-to (especially with the doors – those are huge), but I have only been able to find one significant “problem” thus far – the shift knob. Unlike average Mustangs, the Bullitt’s knob is comprised of almost entirely brushed aluminum, which is then …

circular firing squad

Sometimes I wonder if the anti-rights advocates’ best tactic is to simply step back for a little while, and let the pro-rights activists tear themselves apart from the inside.
I suppose like all big groups of people, it seems as though we have no shortage of individuals ready and willing …

I know Linoge already covered it, but he didn’t mention the name. iPad.
iPad
iPad.
Apparently, you have to say that.
Here is my analysis: Yet again Apple has released a “revolutionary new product” that is exactly the same as some older products, except it is pretty, more expensive, and …

One day, I will stop being amazed at how fanboyishly pathetic some people get whenever Apple releases something new. One day, but not today.
I hope they all had towels handy……

cold, hard truth

Anti-rights advocates frequently hold up the National Firearms Act as a model by which we should regulate and control all other firearms, using the argument that firearms controlled by it (including fully-automatic weapons, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns) are rarely used in crimes.
Turns out, not so much:

Police

a whole lot of zeroes

According to the official *.gov website, the publicly-held debt during President Bush’s eight-year term in office increased by about $2,969,254,680,319.93 – just shy of three trillion dollars (and you might as well round up, given that its numbers only started in late September of 2001). According to the “…

Nikki Goeser’s testimony before Ohio Legislature

My friend Nikki Goeser went up to Ohio last week to talk to the Ohio House about restaurant carry there. It’s HB203 for any Ohioans out there (like my sister).
Here is the testimony:

“The law didn’t stop [the man that murdered Nikki's husband], but it sure stopped me [from …

calling out the future

Yet another quote from the inimitable Atlas Shrugged:

What we are now asked to worship, what had once been dressed up as God or king, is the naked, twisted, mindless figure of the human Incompetent. This is the new ideal, the goal to aim at, the purpose to live

Would not Nazis picking up trash from the side of the road necessitate them bagging themselves for pick-up?
Sarcasm aside, I cannot help but to feel proud that I live in a country where such a thing is permissable – to be certain, I oppose that organization and everything it …

friendly reminder

If a somewhat random one…
At any rate, the investment cap for your IRAs this year, and last year, is $5000. If you are like me, and you were unware of this change (up from $4000 in 2008), you have until Tax Day to add the missing $1000, and I …
