zeroing in on recovery

Remember how I said you could win your very own copy of Dead Zero?

I was not joking:

Three brand-spanking new copies of Stephen Hunter’s newest book, and it is not exactly like I need all of them… So what do you need to do to snag one …

quote of the day

Today’s honor goes to Joe Huffman for his oh-so-very accurate observation regarding the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership:

The very name of “The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence” tells you all you need to know to oppose them. They want to prevent “gun violence”. If they

a question of standards

As anyone with more than a day’s worth of internet access knows, there are women out there who are more than willing to take money in exchange for being photographed naked, and Karie Marie (NSFW, obviously) is one such woman. One thing she is not willing to tolerate, even with …

it is a valid tactic

I am not one so timid as to say that our actions should be dictated, or even influenced, by the bigotry and intolerance of those around us (*cough*), but I just cannot wait to see the anti-rights nuts lose their collective gos-se over Daniel Defense’s new hunting arm

short-notice deal

Get a $20 Amazon.com gift card for only $10, but you have to purchase by the end of the day.

Works for me!  (And yes, from all appearances this is legit – look up “Living Social” and “Groupon”.)…

TFA Statement on the TN Legislature

It’s pretty lengthy, so go read it here.…

it is the idiots, stupid

It has been a while since we embarked on a full-fledged fisking here at “walls of the city”, and I figure what better way to get back into the weblogging swing after a long weekend filled with analog activities than to take some idiot out to the woodshed? Well, conveniently …

mind… blown

Just to show you how far our world has come, you can now file your taxes from your phone, complete with that little gadget being able to read your W-2 form by itself, and input all of the pertinent information.

You will not catch me using such an insecure …

starting to wonder about their training

When embarking on kick-the-door-down, SWAT-team-style, room-clearing, flash-bang-banging raids on suspected criminals’ homes, the police have a remarkable record of shooting whatever canine may be present, regardless of whether the dog poses a material threat to the officers or not.

This is not a post about another one of those …

Notes from the (thankfully long) weekend

We picked up Casey on Friday. I have a new respect for parents :D:D

It’s true that puppies sleep 16-18 hours a day. It’s just that none of those hours are when adult humans normally sleep.

Puppies that spend the first 6 weeks of their lives in a barn have the …

linked in thanks

Alright, I will admit it – I am not a “podcast” kind of person. I have always hated talk radio in digital or analog formats, even when I agree with the people doing the talking, and, no, I cannot really express why. However, given that Eric Shelton has seen fit …

socializing

I am invariably behind the curve, but, eventually, I do manage to catch up.

In the left toolbar, you currently should be able to find a Facebook Social Plugin, a Google Friend Connect, and a Twitter stream for this webpage, down under the “Social” category – feel free to do …

i do not need this, again

Given the current trending of posts amongst those folks I read regarding the topic of “needs“, I think it is time to dust off an over-two-year-old post and copy-paste it in its entirety (turns out I wrote some rather decent stuff back in the day):

You know what?

a deceptively simple question

As we go into this extended weekend, I have a simple inquiry for my readers that I would very much like an answer to:

In the societal/governmental sense, what do you consider to be “the State”?

Yes, this question is leading to something else, and some of you will probably …

it is different when they say it

Folks seem to have enjoyed my post pointing out that “heated rhetoric” is far from limited to just the “right-wingers”, but N.U.G.U.N. blew my efforts right out of the water:

“I want to go up to the closest white person and say: ‘You can’t understand this, it’s a

knowing is half the battle

Want to know what kind of happy-fun “security” measures the Thousands of Sexual Assaulters have in store for you at the airports you will be using? Take a look at TSA Status (when it works – it has been swamped of late) for the short-and-sweet.

As with …

moron of the day

Hm. I might need to make this a permanent category or something…

At any rate, today’s honor goes to Baldr Odinson, a relative newcomer to the anti-rights weblogging scene with his webpage, “New Trajectory” (unlinked, in accordance with this webpage’s Terms of Use). Baldr – yet another Joyce Foundation shill …

a swing… and a miss

To provide something of a counterpoint, and a reinforcement, for WizardPC’s post yesterday highlighting the idiocy of certain pubic servants in Tennessee, I would like to highlight the actions of Federal Representative Steve Cohen, also of Memphis:

After Saturday’s shootings in Tucson, Ariz., U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn.,

dialing in a dead zero

Regular readers may remember that the good folks at Simon and Schuster were going to send me a copy of Stephen Hunter‘s new book, Dead Zero… well, I just received notification from my contacts there that my copies are in the mail and headed towards me.

Yes, copies, …

time to start a few rumors

So I was taking a survey from Walther yesterday regarding my PPS, and there were a few interesting questions buried within it, namely, whether I would like a PPS in .45 ACP, .380 ACP, or .32 ACP (I selected the first one, of course), and how much more I would …
