It seems the battle against spam is spawning a few unholy alliances . What they miss is we have Email Caller ID now in a couple of forms.
One is called DNS “reverse lookup”. If I could reject all email coming in from that server named “Unknown” (a numeric address without a […]

Democracy is a terrible weapon to wield against an uneducated populance which is likely why the Shiite leaders in Iraq are demanding elections happen sooner than later. The US mission in Iraq will be the dismal failure the Liberals hope for if we do not hold our ground and do what is right for […]

Ever wonder where the International Space Station should be in respect to your location? Give the Nasa Station Location page a gander. That bright fast mover may not be the airplane you think.

For over a decade I have believed that the Greens ushering in the new age of Fascism in America. But alas it turns out I may have been incorrect as it becomes obvious that it’s going to be homeowners associations.

In a new Intern twist for the Democrats it appears that the enemy of my enemy is my intern.

The Bushmaster BAR-10, an AR-10 which uses FN-FAL magizines ( i.e. they’re not $90 each) which I happen to have in abundance.
The pictures on the website aren’t exactly flattering.

A reminder that the “war on terrorism” is decades old here is a link to information on the Selous Scouts. They were also heavy users of the FN-FAL. More on the history FAL in SA.

Everyone is rather bitter over the costs of healthcare and insurance. The liberals started well before Hillary in pushing Canada as the model which the United States should adopt to ensure “fair” healthcare for all and the “solution” to “failed capitalism”.
What has become so evident in Canada is that the one size […]

The headline should read Irresponsible Parents Shuck Responsibility, Brainwash Children which is decidely more accurate. Not only are these Californian parents brainwashing their children they are abdicating their responsiblities to teach their children that there are many many tools in this world that can and will be used for good and evil purposes. […]

Washington often decrys the fact that middle America simply does not trust the Government to do the right thing in anything from social reform to law enforcement. And yet again those sworn to protect us and our Nation prove worthy of our distrust and suspicion.
Worse is the answer to the ages old […]

Try to keep a straight face and repeat after me.. The Russians are our friends.

Arnold thinks foreign born Americans should be able to run for the Presidency because
“There are so many people in this country that are now from overseas, that are immigrants, that are doing such a terrific job with their work, bringing businesses here, that there’s no reason why not,”
This is a new condition in America? […]

It seems Ralph is actually jumpinginto the fray much to the chagrin of the Democrats and the delight of Republicans.
Nader said claims that his candidacy would spoil efforts to beat Bush in November were a “contemptuous” attempt to restrict democracy and maintain a “two-party duopoly.”
Such intelligence surely belongs in the White House, folks.

New Mexico residents may have to (soon) prove they’re not drunk to use their cars those in Nevada have to prove they’re not stupid by using a real key to get into their vehicles. Kind of makes one wonder what new gizmo’s the boys at Nellis are playing with these days.

It appears that the NM House of Representatives believes citizens are worthy of distrust and should be required to prove they’re not drunk before they can start the car at a cost of $1000 per vehicle. Guilting until proven innocent on your own dime.

The news junkie that I am there are several “opposition” news and opinion websites that I follow regularly. One if my favorite is Progressive Review which has nice collection of Pro Firearm Ownership information.
WHY PROGRESSIVES SHOULD STOP PUSHING FOR MORE GUN CONTROL LAWS
– There are already thousands of them, too […]

In the war on drugs a crack pipe will land you in jail without crack. I guess the same rules don’t apply with WMD’s. What is that old saying, where there is smoke there is, or will be, fire.
The French and the EU have now made it official, Arafat never financed terror. […]

Spam. Everyone hates spam and now that the US Gov’t has decided to step in an “help” us with the spam problem it’s worse than ever. But is the current tact the correct one? Is blocking, deleting and blacklisting actually working? Eric Allman tackles the economics of spam in an interesting article asking if we’re […]

Nora Jones new albums opening sales are the best for a new album in 3 years. The recording industry needs to take this message to heart along with the rather hostile feedback they received over the half-time show. We, the consumers of their wares, do not want their trash and will not buy it. […]
