I mean, it’s not like someone’s going to come in and start killing everyone in the house. Here’s one of the reasons I carry: you can never know if the guy standing next to you is banging… [...] I didn’t see the story on any other gun blogs at posting time, so here you go. It kind of sounds like they were just hearing a petition instead of seriously considering illegal action, but who knows. Anyway, it’s okay to put away the wookie suits for now. [...] I have a 99 Jeep Cherokee. From the factory, it came with black plastic trim, but after 11 years on the road that plastic was so faded it was practically white. So I used a blowtorch on them. All better now! [...] Incoming TN Regents chancellor John Morgan to take pay cut Only in a liberal’s mind could getting a $125,000 pay raise (instead of a $205,000 raise) constitute a pay cut. [...] I used to live across the street from the house in this picture. [...] One line movie review–The Expendables: The action sequences more than make up for the bad CGI, red laser beams, and the fact that Dolph Lundgren is now 112 years old. Oh, and apparently it beat the snot out of “Eat Pray Love” at the box office. Mission Accomplished. [...] This morning I decided to treat myself to some Starbucks. After paying, I was asked, “Would you like a free reciept today?” [...] It’s always good to talk about those kinds of things. It helps the survivor heal, and it helps the rest of us avoid bad situations. [...] It’s Primary Day in Tennessee. Go vote. [...] Nashville police are looking for two men who killed a third after a heated argument. This argument happened, I am not making this up, at The Obama Market. [...] Right idea, wrong person:
… [...] This post has been rattling around in my head for a while, but something Tam linked to finally got me to write it.

That’s right, kids.… [...] Remember the Election Commissioner found dead in the trunk of his burning car? Turns out he was shot first, and they suspect it was a local deputy. [...] After you’re robbed, real cops show up when you call 911.

May whoever did this to him suffer the same fate. I had to hit three different news sites before the part about him being a Republican was mentioned at all. Most are focusing on the fact that he… [...] My HTiB receiver just gave up the ghost. It was about 9 years old and we were thinking-about-maybe-thinking-about getting one for Christmas, so I haven’t really done any research. I’ve temporarily configured everything to go through the TV’s speakers, but honestly going from 5.1 to 2.0 is probably going to… [...] Remeber the off duty deputy who was shot while househunting at midnight? The homeowner will not be charged. For now. [...] First line of the story:
Headline: Federal, State Money To Cover Most Flood Damage Apparently, if you live in Nashville you don’t pay federal or state… [...] Loaded Handgun Found In Movie Theater Seat. That theater has one of those nifty circle slash signs (about 2 inches tall and you have to know to look for it). They used to be cute in an “Aww, they think that works! How precious!” kind of way, but as of… [...] …why cities have fireworks ordinances. My town does not have one and it’s been ZOMG BOOMERS! for like the last 2 hours. [...] So last week, some residents of Rutherford County (considered “mostly rural” and “backwater” by Nashville residents, despite bordering Nashville and having only half as many residents as Nashville Proper) voiced opposition to a 52,000 sq foot Mosque. The Tennessean described the opposition thusly:
… [...] Last weekend, 25 year old off-duty deputy Mike Claiborne was killed in Franklin County, TN. The TBI is currently investigating the circumstances because they are quite odd. You see, Claiborne was shot and killed while househunting with his girlfriend and two other people. They were (apparently) examining a property… [...] If you’re so upset about my deficit spending, you should raise taxes to pay for it. See, then I won’t be spending in deficit. If you don’t raise taxes, it’s proof that you only oppose me because you’re racist. Oh, but not until after elections. Via Insty [...] McDonald Decision issued – 2nd Amendment applies to States through 14th Amendment In what was largely perceived by many as a foregone conclusion, the United States Supreme Court has released on June 28, 2010, its opinion in the McDonald v.

[...] Just got word that the veto override will happen tonight in the “unfinished business” portion of the session. [...] In Windows Mobile, I was able to tell ActiveSync not to sync during specific times. See, my banks, Careerbuilder, and Cabela’s like to send me emails at 3AM, and those notifications tend to wake me up. I can’t find a similar setting in Gmail for Android. I can only find… [...] That’s what my sources are telling me. Remember, as amended the restaurant carry bill makes the circle-with-a-slash sign a legally binding sign.
