californogative dissonance

Their team won, so they rioted.
… wait.
What?!
After seeing all of the stupid-assed nonsense coming out of Kalifornistan over the years, and even spending a year living there myself, I am firmly of the opinion that the west 50 miles of the state could fall off into …

my sympathies

So, for my readers who are like me, and live under a rock and almost never pay attention to the news, a repeat-parole-offending convicted felon murdered three police officers, and a fourth is brain dead on life support. My prayers and thoughts are with the families and friends of …

center cannot hold

A few days ago, over at Random Nuclear Strikes, Phil covered the shooting of an prone, unarmed, handcuffed man by a BART police officer, and came to much the same conclusion I would have – this counts as either manslaughter due to gross negligence, or intentional murder with an …

sued samaritan

On the other hand, while some progress has been made concerning firearm rights in the Peoples’ Republic of Kalifornistan, in other areas, the state is still proving itself to be the bastion of idiotic liberalism we have all come to know and hate.
Thanks to frivolous lawsuits, bloodsucking lawyers, …

reminiscing… but in a bad way

Well, the storms here last night (ahh, thunderstorms… how I have missed thee) certainly made the evening and night wonderfully cool, but I have to admit that the humidity today is kicking my scrawny white arse. The sad thing is that I am quite certain this degree of humidity is …

good [expletive deleted] riddance

Goodbye Kalifornistan!Goodbye Kalifornistan!
By the time you are reading this, Better Half and I should be on our plane and in flight over some state other than Kalifornistan (assuming no delays or other such problems). Furthermore, barring a momentary lapse of judgement when it comes to deciding on future vacation locations, or possibly

english as a second language

You know, living in Southern Kalifornistan as I do, things like this should not surprise me any more:

Can anyone venture to tell me what, exactly, is wrong with this particular sign? And, no, there is nothing faded out or anything on the sign – that is the way it …

no, really?

So apparently Kalifornistan is in a drought, surprisingly enough. Of course, as I happened to be driving about yesterday (which I did an unfortunately large amount of), I noticed one constant thing, starting in the evening, and progressing well into the night.
Was it people setting up rain barrels? …

like you and me only better

That post title is a recurring theme on a lot of firearm-related weblogs, and I finally found cause to use it myself today.
Behold the below news clipping from AP News:

No felony charges against Farina in gun incident

Los Angeles County prosecutors won’t file felony charges against actor

holy flying carp

It is actually RAINING! In Southern Kalifornistan!
Crud… that means the Apocalypse is neigh……

so where did it go?

I do a fair bit of driving in and around San Diego, and while it is quite often a challenge to do so without being run over by some crazed lunatic on the road (more often than not, with Mexico tags), I do tend to notice stupid little things at …

round about

So what is the deal with the pictures from earlier this morning? Well, first, a little background on how I got where those pictures were taken.
I woke up yesterday morning, and came to the conclusion that I simply did not want to be stuck in my apartment staring …

exploratory pictures

There is not a lot to be said for Kalifornistan, but some of its photo opportunities are nice. Explanations later today. And, yes, I like black-and-white and sepia. Deal with it.

signs of the times

… or at least the location. 

On the way home from work, I saw a "For Sale By Owner" sign concerning a house.  It advertised itself as a "Like-new, big four bedroom."  Ok, fine, I certainly was not going to go look for myself, since I am not in the …

well, it is butt-ugly

But I have to admit, this is certainly an interesting development for anyone trapped within the People’s Republic of Kalifornistan

First, a little history.  In 1994, the Federal Government passed the Federal Crime Bill, which, among other things, prevented average citizens from owning a variety of "assault weapons

kalifornistan sucks: reason the first

Yes, ladies and gentlepeople, Better Half and I are, unfortunately, firmly ensconced within the stupidity that is Kalifornistan.  As such, this new category was generated by me, your eloquent and intelligent host, as a way of documenting all of the… interesting… and… entertaining… things that go on within this …
