I told one of my sons earlier today that it could be that Gibson was simply not well prepared for his interview with Palin or it could be that he was dishonest -- it is really impossible to know and one would like to assume the former over the later. However, there have been a couple of pieces of information that are causing me to move towards the...

Police are still looking for the people who broke into a Wyandotte County home in April and shot and killed a man. Jeffery J. Rogers, 25, was shot to death early on April 9 at a home near 84th Street and Tauromee Avenue. Police said they think the killers came as a group, possibly four [...]...

Mark Penn on the impression that the media is going after Palin:CBSNews.com: Your former colleague Howard Wolfson argued that you all unintentionally paved the way for Palin by exposing some of the unfair media coverage that Hillary Clinton received. And, therefore, a lot of the media may now be treating Sarah Palin with kid gloves. Do you agree wi...

Gibson was at best incredibly sloppy and possibly outright dishonest in his discussion of Palin's view of religion and the Iraq war. (Earlier I posted on this "Associated Press Quotes Sarah Palin out of context to make her appear extreme" and Gibson used the out of context quote with Palin and when she questioned him on the accuracy of the quote h...

It has been a while since I enjoyed a nice Cabernet Sauvignon. V enjoys lighter wines and I enjoy pleasing V. Tonight I opened a bottle that I picked up some time back, a 2006 Root:1 Cab from Chile.This is an inexpensive Cab that is well worth your time, it stands head and shoulders above other Cab's in the price range. Give it a good 45 minutes to...

I was sitting in a chair in the hotel where the NRA Board Meeting is being held, and heard David E. Young joking “I guess they let bloggers in here.” I looked over to see who was with him, and it’s Alan Gura! Looks like he’ll be at the Presidents Reception. The fun thing is so will Bitter and I. ...

I have had my disagreements with O'Hanlon before, though I think that he is a reasonable Democrat. That said, it is clear that he is a Democrat, and CNN just had him on analyzing Palin's interview with ABC. It just seems to me that he should have been described as something other than an "independent analyst."...

Ohio elitists react to Castle Doctrine: “Innocent until proven guilty”, OH MY! When is “innocent until proven guilty” a controversial concept?

Once again, the gun show is in town. This is like the circus!It's a short list this time. Strictly ammo and accessories. I think I've maxed out my gun purchases with the arrival of my Martini-Henry Mark II "Gurkha" model a couple days ago. Apparently the distinction between "real" firearm and "antique" firearm is lost on my fiancee :). I argue...

Dion Attempts to Trick Voters with Ludicrous Assault Weapons Ban Looking at the Liberals’ own press release, it’s pretty obvious that Dion wants to draw a fictional line between “respectable” firearms that government should tolerate (for now anyway), and “scary” firearms that “serve absolutely no purpose in our society.”… If D...

A 10-year-old Hilton Head Island boy has been suspended from school for having something most students carry in their supply boxes: a pencil sharpener.The problem was his sharpener had broken, but he decided to use it anyway. So they called the cops. They filled out a police report. They suspended him. And best of all:The boy -- a fourth-grader des...

But that may not be enough in a year where home-state presidential nominee Barack Obama is generating huge Democratic enthusiasm at the top of the ticket. Good. Mark Kirk deserves to go down in flames. And then pointed and laughed at as he skulks away.Except aside from this blog, I've seen little interest on the part of district gun owners to punis...
