boru versus ruskova

In honor of our republic potentially disappearing before our very eyes, I ask you this question:

What kind of world do we live in when spuds like me can actually make significantly better vodka than honest-to-God Ruskies? [...]

all in the phrasing

Even though my collection of posts debunking the anti-rights claims of the Commercial Appeal, denouncing their privacy-invading database, and disproving their copy-pasting of erroneous VPC studies is still in existance and has been moved to [...]

one-line review

Law Abiding Citizen: The main character assuredly did not live up to the title, but if you are interested in a rather disturbing condemnation of the American legal system wherein lines become remarkably blurred, this is probably your movie… [...]

follow the money

I refuse to link to the webpage from which Joe Huffman borrowed this quote, but that does not change its value:

Allowing that public support could be partly defined by evidence of membership dues being paid [...]

illegal law

If this actually happens, every last member of Congress might as well pack up their bags and head home immediately afterwards, because they just rendered themselves null-and-void in the eyes of the Constitution:

The twisted scheme [...]

swinging 'round

Question: Can you make the track of a TCS-equipped Mustang depart radically from its heading?

Answer: Yes, yes you can.

And that is all I have to say about that. [...]

that does it for today

I had a couple of skeletons of posts rattling around in my head that I was considering fleshing out and posting today, but then I stumbled across this news report and lost all interest whatsoever.

Robb [...]

one, please

If it took Adam Savage 40+ hours of work over 6 years, us mere mortals are well and truly buggered.

For such a popular, sought-after, and iconic movie prop, there certainly is a shortage of replicas. [...]

making a point

The allegations are flying fast and furious around Representative Massa, but, gorram, he paints a horrific picture:

“I’m sitting there showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped [...]

like shopaholics with a credit card

We received a letter at our house yesterday indicating that we would be receiving our Census questionnaire packet within the next week or so. It was addressed to “The Residents of… [insert address]“, so that does not really bother [...]

digital life

It is time for some more gratuitous CGI-porn.

Be sure to crank it up to full-HD. And then break out your copy of the original, put it up in a window next to the YouTube clip, [...]

unfortunate side-effect

Temperatures finally above 60 + evil daystar + BRG paint + black leather/plastic interior = coming up on time to tint the windows.

Oh well. Probably a good time to install a set of these while [...]

graphs make things easy

Do states with high Brady Scores have correspondingly lower/higher rates of crime?

Not so much:

To sum up the data: Gun control laws do not have any observable affect on violent crime or crimes committed with firearms. [...]

gamers and rules

I have to admit, this pretty much mirrors my own personal viewpoints concerning the gaming aspects of the shooting sports…

Speaking from personal experience, the one and only time I have dabbled in anything [...]

going to be awesome

You know you want the briefcase.

Alternative tagline: “The girl or the briefcase?” [...]

breaking bread

A lot of hay is being made in a lot of different places over whether or not to be polite to anti-rights advocates, [...]

i promise they are different

Alright, my two readers, here is an interesting offer for you – you get to vote on what color we put in our master bathroom. Granted, we might not pay attention to your votes, but if you have an [...]

little bear holsters, out of commission

Well this is unfortunate:

Due to the fact I have atleast 2-3 doctors appointments a week, I will not be taking any more orders past 5 March 2010.

Build time will be between 45-60 days. [...]

new-to-me online tools

Not that it will make a difference to… really… anyone, but this webpage’s Twitter feed (@wotc_linoge) is now syndicated locally, through this webpage itself, by means of the WordTwit plugin. The downside is that

why we keep winning

When Starbucks came out in support of the individual rights of American citizens, in support of state’s laws, regulations, and codes, and in support of free trade with any law-abiding citizens, the anti-rights advocates blew the situation [...]

perforating stereotypes

In the space of as many days, Jay G. and Breda successfully blew two fallacious stereotypes often employed by hoplophobes and anti-rights advocates right out of the water.

Stereotype the First: Gun-owners are all [...]

life imitates life

Is anyone else not surprised at how the Knoxville branch of the AFL-CIO occupies the same building as the Knoxville branch of the Democratic Party?

Even better, the former occupies the upper floors of the building, while the [...]

putting whackjobs out of our misery

Protip: opening fire on the guards at the Pentagon tends to result in the immediate cessation of the higher brain functions of the shooter in question… assuming the shooter had higher brain functions to begin with, which, [...]

years of awesomeness

Made. Of. Win.

One hundred, thirty-seven years of Popular Science, at your fingertips, for free. While I see no readily apparent way to download issues from their Google Books repository, we are still looking at somewhere over [...]

back at it again

It would appear kwikrnu/Leonard Embody has been banned from The High Road after inadvertantly exposing what I believe to be his personal agenda while asking for advice regarding his potential next round of frivolous wastes [...]

the way things (do not) work

I would really, really like to say that I have never seen errors like this or heard excuses like this… but… yeah… that would be a lie.

I was a military engineer for a while, after all… [...]

what a face

Jalopnik has it all wrong. It is not ugly. It is just before its time.

And, no, my brain did not make that association just because of the manufacturer’s name… how dare you suggest such a thing! [...]

this is not that hard

It seems as though Starbucks is rapidly learning the meaning behind “there is no such thing as bad publicity”.

You might recall a few weeks back when Starbucks issued an official, corporate statement basically saying, “We do not [...]

downhill slide

Courtesy of my parents:

historical precedence

Remember – according to some people, there is absolutely no reason why someone would need to own firearms.

Unfortunately for them, reality just keeps proving them wrong. [...]

handful of shininess

And the “want” list just gets longer – maybe not for that pistol in specific (while I love the custom nature of STI’s products, and while I know Joe Huffman swears by them, [...]

bored minds with too much time

Because everyone needs a little nonsensical humor in their lives, allow me to present quite possibly the second-most-awesome Rube Goldberg Machine I have ever seen.

It does nothing useful, and it destroys no less than one [...]

not according to plan

We interviewed three contractors to work on our renovation plans for our house, two weeks ago, right after we bought it (literally the day of, in one case).

Two of those contractors have never even responded or communicated [...]

stickin' it to the man

Regardless of whether or not the “privileges and immunities” argument got shut down yesterday, Mr. Alan Gura earned himself a slot in the rotating, random quotes at this webpage with this gem:

Justice Sotomayor, States may [...]

what we pay them for

I love it when our duly-elected representatives do their jobs and stand up for our rights:

The University of Tennessee is in the process of trying to ban legal gun owners that may also be athletes [...]

more distracting nonsense

I have been up to a few random things around the webpage recently, and I thought I would take a moment to document them all (ater all, this is my webpage, so I can do those kinds of things). [...]

just a little out of whack

Just when you think you already did not have enough time in the day, it seems as though that day got a little shorter:

The earthquake that killed more than 700 people in Chile on Feb. [...]

i'm lovin' it

Today was the big day for McDonald v. Chicago, and whatever comments that were going to be made outside of closed doors for or against incorporation have been made, recorded, and filed away. Now we are back [...]

not fitting the agenda

The plural of “anecdotes” is not “data”, but this weekend, none of the employees or customers of the six or seven flooring supply stores we went into in north Georgia so much as batted an eye at me

free is always good

…And speaking of Atlas Shrugged, once I finish it (in a year or so, at the rate I am going…), I may not come up for air for a while.

And, yes, I have finished [...]

c.o. arms follow-up

For those folks interested in learning more about C.O. Arms, the new custom 1911 fabricators of West Tennessee I wrote about last week, Joshua Sykes, a representative of the publicity firm representing C.O. Arms, has [...]

looters by any other name

Speaking of MikeB302000, I could not help but to be reminded of his argumentive “tactics”, such as they are, while reading this section of Atlas Shrugged:

“What do you want of me?” she asked aloud [...]
