Now, go spend it with your family.…

for the record

Weer’d Beard just saved my beer-drinking ass.

That is all.…

repeatedly out of pocket

If we are keeping anywhere near our schedule, Better Half and I should be on the road south to Atlanta at the moment to visit family. Sadly, I will not be making it to Dragon*Con this year, but some folks you might know will be, so it is probably worth …

Leaving the nest

After two years and a little under 400 posts, I’ve decided to go out on my own.

I want to thank Linoge for his generosity in lending a man he’s never met a bit of his personal stage. It’s been awesome, and I’ll be forever grateful for all the really …

Never let a crisis go to waste

Remember when Mubarak shut down the internet in Egypt, and the leaders of the free world condemned it?

Well, in the wake of the riots all over England, guess what they want to be able to do?

A good start

The judge who was paid send kids to detention facilities rather than the more appropriate fines, probation, or community service has been sentenced to 28 years in prison.

He got a little over $1 million and sent 5,000 kids to the facilities. 4,000 of those kids’ records have been …

Way to be creepy, Zuckerberg

So I’m scrolling through Facebook, then I notice this:

Your freinds are saying bad things about Obama. Don't you want to "like" him?Your freinds are saying bad things about Obama. Don't you want to "like" him?

Nice, huh? People I’m friends with are saying negative things about Obama, and Facebook helpfully collapses them so I don’t have to read them! And then they provide a link so I can “like” the President! Notice that none of the …

On having your wife as a battle buddy

I started this as a comment at Uncle’s place, but felt I needed to do it here instead as it got quite long.

My wife won’t carry. That’s her choice, and I respect it. I suspect a lot of us are in that situation. At some point she’ll get …

Sad story

About a mile from my house last night, a woman was stabbed and killed on the front porch of her friend’s house.

Details are a bit sketchy, but it looks like the victim, 42 year old Kim Kuhlman, stepped outside to confront her friend’s ex-husband while the friend locked …

I don’t follow

Democrats: STIMULUS!

Tea Party: Stop spending so much money!

Democrats: STFU, we know what we’re doing! OBAMACARE!

Tea Party: Okay, we’ll vote you out.

Democrats: ZOMG! We didn’t do a budget for like two years, and now we’re going to max out the credit card if we don’t up …

Etiquette Question

What’s the proper salutation when you meet a uniformed TSA employee not at the airport? One was entering a fast food place as I was leaving.

The ones that went through my head were, in no particular order:

  • How many little boys did you get to fondle today?
  • Are you

As always, Tam is right

It’s not the zombies you have to worry about, it’s the face eating monkeys!

And in this case, the monkey might have been on meth!…

Just so I’m clear

To recap: In 2009 we were told that if we didn’t pass Obama’s stimulus, unemployment would exceed 8%. After two years of 9.5%+ unemployment, we were told if we didn’t raise the debt limit by yesterday, the market would tank. It went down 500pts after the largest debt ceiling increase …

We can’t let teachers have all the fun!

First the Department of Education gets a SWAT team.

Now the FDA and Agriculture Department have one!

Yay for ninjas protecting us from the horrors of knowingly buying raw milk!

I’d be belligerent, too

Remember Andrea Abbott, the Tennessee mom who was arrested for “lashing out” at TSA agents who groped her daughter?

Well, she was in court yesterday. Nothing happened since she didn’t plead guilty, so her preliminary hearing was moved to Oct 13. The interesting thing was that The Tennessean has …

Convenience

For the last month or so, the MSM has been hollering about the debt ceiling needing to be raised, and how Republicans are evil for not comprimising (read: capitulating).

Last night, the House voted on a compromise bill that most people–people not me–claim this is an epic win …

AT&T is the H&K of the cellular world

Because you suck. And we hate you.

Since I am likely one of those users who will be throttled, I can’t wait for the Nexus 3 to come out on Sprint so I can jump ship.…

Now, we wait

Just ordered and paid for the suppressor. 8-12 weeks until it gets to my FFL,  and then we get to do the ATF paperwork.

Cost so far: $1130

[...]

This is going to take forever

Recall that I made buying a .22 suppressor a goal for this year.

Recall that back in May I said I had close to enough money to get one, so I needed to narrow down my options. Well, I did finally decide that I needed an Outback IID and that …

Dear Mr. Schulman,

If 1:30 in the morning in a crime ridden area is an inappropriate situation for a citizen to carry a concealed weapon, then when is an appropriate situation? You also ruled out dropping kids off at school and going to dinner which are not generally considered dangerous activities, so I’m …
