For the newcomers to the party, the same set of disclaimers applies as last time, with some updates … [...] I work for Company A, who occasionally employs the services of Company B to erect new buildings. Company B subcontracts out to local unions, and one such union is currently embroiled in a labor dispute with Company B regarding the status of two subcontractors. So what does the union do? … [...] Almost a year ago, I asked my readers for information concerning factual, substantiated instances wherein a lawful open carrier was specifically and intentionally targeted by a criminal due to the fact that the victim was openly carrying his firearm. At the time, almost all of the commenters were aware of … [...] Speaking of cars, who knew that the folks producing Porsches these days were such pansy-assed wusses? Well, now, everyone does. … [...] According to numerous anti-rights nuts around the internet, if we law-abiding citizens would simply give criminals exactly what they want, we would have nothing to fear from them, and everyone would be able to go home safe and sound, just like what transpired in this particular incident:
[...] Insurance has me driving around some Toyota Camry thing for the next few weeks… All I have to say is that if there is, indeed, a more boringly soporific car in existance, I do not even want to lay eyes on it, much less sit behind its wheel. It feels … [...] Not sure if I can claim fourth on any particular search string, but I can say that my review of 5.11 tactical pants is currently ranked 10th on Google (and eighth, if you get rid of the video results). I have to admit to being somewhat pleased with that outcome… … [...] Saturday morning, I sent this email to the official “information” email address of Earth Fare, and have not yet received even a glimmer of a response:
[...] The end result of my unscheduled metal-on-metal action last weekend? The body shop (at a Mercedes-Benz dealership, of all places) called yesterday, and they will be replacing the wheel and tire in their entirety, various steering linkages that broke/bent, the suspension strut, the lower control arm, the front bumper, the … [...] On the one hand, courtesy of John Lott, we find that Our Glorious President’s ratings in handling the Gulf oil spill are worse than President Bush’s handling of Katrina:
[...] If firearm manufacturers managed to produced products like this, they simply would not be able to keep them in stock. Of course, that magazine gives me a case of the raging heebie-jeebies (but, then, so did the P90′s, which employs the same kind of 90-degree twist), the ergonomics of … [...] Yes, this webpage just developed a case of bigger advertisement banners. Yes, they are probably here to stay, especially that their revenues should effectively pay for all of my hosting costs (and all of someone else’s too) and then some. Yes, you can get your own bigger banners, should you … [...] Compared to Robert Schumann, Sergeant Thomas J. Higgins, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Wood Campbell, Francis Harry Compton Crick (OM), Dr. ישראל אומן, Nancy Sinatra, Colin Baker, Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee (OM), Scott Adams, and all the rest I share this … [...] So I’ve been using it for a week, and I’ve got a little cognitive dissonance. Things I like:
[...] Almost a week ago, a murderer went on a shooting rampage through multiple towns in rural England, and was successfully able to kill 12 people and injure another 25, primarily due to the police “tailing” him, but not engaging, for over three hours. Predictably, anti-rights hoplophobes on all sides … [...] Speaking of, thanks to an email from an interested reader, I get to bear witness to Sebastian making a damned ass of himself ( [...] A few people have asked, some more politely than others, why I openly carry my sidearm, and why I post about it when the muse strikes me. Well, the simple answers are that I find open carry to be significantly more comfortable, I am able to access my firearm more … [...] Fifteen minutes of commercials (blissfully ignored thanks to TiVo), 30 minutes of DRAMAAAAA, and 15 minutes of actual shooting. *sigh* Oh well. There are enough slow-motion impacts of bullets on explosive targets to keep me entertained, and more than enough reality-show-DRAMA to keep the rest of the country … [...] Remember the new Tennessee-based 1911 manufacturer we discussed a few times beforehand? Looks like they have finally gotten around to setting up their promised range day:
