I just read an interesting column by Ben Shapiro on Townhall.com.  I'll tell you this:  I don't agree with everything that is written there.  If I did, I would probably belong to a cult.  And while I find Ben a good writer most days, I find this week's column a bit insulting.  First of all, let's define the word "elitist," ...

You know... I honestly don't know why the libtards have such hatred for the current President.  I mean - the guy represents everything they love: Giving away other people's money to those who haven't earned it Bailing out idiots who make stupid decisions by using taxpayer dollars Rewarding bad behavior Nationalization of banks and other ...

I make no excuses for my language on this blog.  Sometimes I curse.  Sometimes I use invective that would make prisoners in federal penitentiaries blush.  Most of the time it's justified.  I've had both friends and other readers tell me that I should attempt to be less stringent - that my language could turn off potential a...

As reported, a University of Arizona student was in his off-campus guest house apartment around midnight, when there was a knock at the door.  One of the two men at the door asked for someone who did not live there, an the other had a gun. The student ran back into his home, and grabbed [...]...

Even with some gun malfunctions and shooting in double-time, I qualified for the FBI which is a scary thought in itself. The difficulties with my beloved Commander reminded me in a powerful way that even the best autoloaders can get fussy and have problems sometimes. The experience also underscored the value of a regular training schedule to maint...

In a recent Cleveland Plain Dealer story entitled "Clevelanders register their guns, but don't have to", officials claimed that they are no longer enforcing the city's illegal gun control laws. They lied. Cleveland officials said they have always enforced state laws, even those that conflict with city ordinances, after the state passed a law last ...

From CBS news:(COLORADO SPRINGS) It was less than two weeks ago when Sarah Palin astonished her traveling press corps by lifting the curtain (literally) and journeying to the back of her campaign plane to answer reporters’ questions for the first time after 40 days on the campaign trail. But the candidate who has been criticized for having a bunk...

Peter W. Wickham, Jr.In a recent column I alluded to the fact that the U.S. Constitution is a weak document when it comes to restraining the central government from growing into an oppressive oligarchy. The best analogy is that of a brahma bull being led on a dog leash by a small child; you better believe that the bull is going to make all the deci...

Tgirsch, frequent poster over at Say Uncle's place has lost a friend of his to cancer. What makes this story even more sad is that his friend was a commenter at his site, Lean Left. From the day he first showed up here, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with frequent commenter Ted. I have no idea how he found this blog, but it seemed like he ca...

The Examiner.com has invited David Codrea of "The War on Guns" to be their "Cleveland Gun Rights Examiner."From David's first editorial:Now it’s time for a little shameless exploitation of my new hosts. I'd like to extend an invitation to Cleveland area gun rights activists: we have a unique and unprecedented opportunity here, courtesy of Examine...

Fourteen counties in Illinois have referendums on the ballot to support statewide concealed carry. You'd think that anti-gun groups, always claiming they have public support for their "sensible gun laws," would embrace this opportunity for open debate and to prove the public is with them, right? Oddly enough, the opposite is true.The gunguys.com sh...

We've been moving into new offices, starting last Thursday. New construction just for us, from tiny, dark leased space. Brand new with all kinds of nifty things (including my very own decontamination shower!). One down side - we had to pack the coffee pots up Friday night so there was no coffee when I got in. Those of you who know me, know about...

Jan 1. 2008 had me posting this It's going to be a shitty year. The Mrs. has decreed that I shan't be buying any firearms this year since I bought 3 last year. It's going to be hard to figure out how to get around that one. Today, gun #3 arrived at my doorstep. I have to admit, this ain't a bad haul for having the above declaration hanging over m...

Over a year and a half ago one of our Texas Game Wardens was killed by a poacher.

This article by Tyler Cowen talks about how we came to the current financial crisis.  This has me wondering something: It now seems that a wide range of asset prices were artificially inflated. The market for contemporary art, which depends almost exclusively on very wealthy buyers, will probably be the last market to plummet but that development ...

I’m glad someone is finally calling bullshit on this meme.  There is no shortage.  There hasn’t been since the .com bubble burst, and the Y2K issue got cleared up.  I know plenty of scientists who have Ph.D., and are well respected in their fields, who are having a hard time finding work in this market.  Pharmaceutical research jobs...

Tam has a post up talking about the often misused term of "arsenal" as applied to the media whenever someone is found with guns. To the media, anything more than two guns is an "arsenal". Anything more than 100 rounds is preparation for a shooting spree.I've heard those loose definitions bandied about over the years and when I started collecting ...

Lorne Gunter has an interesting piece here:the number of climate change skeptics is growing rapidly.

The newest piece starts off like this:How much is your vote worth? Apparently, less than it used to be. The registration and multiple registration of so many people who shouldn’t be voting, means your vote is diluted by fraudulent votes.There is a practical concern here. Research by one of the authors here finds that vote fraud lowers the like...

Story here. The new DC law allows possession in your business premises, and their argument was that a cabbie's cab is his premises. But DC rejected that. Cabbie there told me some hair-raising stories. They're easy to ambush: decoy gets in cab, asks to be taken to a location where the ambush team awaits. Cabbies used to refuse to go into dangerou...

Pretty much the whole unit was involved. He already had one of...

More evidence that my loathing of Brett Favre is well founded:Woodson's sharp comments came in the wake of a foxsports.com report Sunday that Favre called the Lions before their Sept. 14 game against the Packers in Detroit and spent more than an hour giving coaches information on nuances of the offense he used to run.Do I think he did it?

Earlier this year, State Representative Ross McGregor and 75% of the Ohio General Assembly voted in favor of your right to defend yourself and your children from violent criminals - criminals who don't care about "No Guns" signs. Now the Ohio Democratic Party is attacking McGregor, a Republican, for siding with victims who don't want to be helples...
