Kerry + Edwards

Thursday, July 15th, 2004

If you thought something was a little weird about Kerry & Edwards maybe this explains it (hint: push the Watch This Movie button). Not for those who are “sensitive” or without humor (i.e. DemocRats & Liberals).

Joe Wilson’s Uranium

Thursday, July 15th, 2004

Clifford D. May nicely flays Joe Wilson over at National Review Online. Joe Wilson is the guy that said Iraq was not attempting to buy unrefined “yellow cake” uranium from Niger after being tasked by the CIA to investigate. (Apparently he only investigated Niger mint tea.) But recent events (Google Search - nteresting lack […]

Welcome to GregGarrison.com

Wednesday, July 14th, 2004

I am a huge fan of Greg Garrison’s morning talk show on WIBC and make sure that the first hour of the show is part of my morning drive time.
But something new Greg is doing sort of bugs me. Mostly I feel he got some bad advice on requiring purchased subscriptions to access […]

Report Questions Value of Color-Coded Warnings

Tuesday, July 13th, 2004

Now this is truly sad. Someone had to actually research and write a report to determing thatValue of Color-Coded Warnings is nil. I would have thought the chortle heard round the world when Sec Ridge unveiled the system was enough but apparently not. It required a report.

One Tabby’s Iraq Tour

Tuesday, July 13th, 2004

As the slave to at least one cat master I found the story Tabby Gets Military Rank After Iraq Tour quite entertaining.

A cloud of doubt over climate bill

Monday, July 12th, 2004

Greg Garrison had a great op-ed in Sunday’s Indy Star, A cloud of doubt over climate bill. Though only a small part of the piece Greg is much more kind to Lugar than I. Lugar has sold out himself, Indiana and Hoosiers and this is far from the first instance of it. Until […]

Monday, July 12th, 2004

Many democrats are whining that the debate on the Same-Sex Amendment is taking “valuable time from other more pressing issues”. While I support the amendment I know it’s a long shot due to the long ratification process by the States. Win or loose on this amendment the Democrats are partially right […]

300,000 Hoosiers have gun permits

Monday, July 12th, 2004

So 300,000 Hoosiers have gun permits, second in per-capita carry permits only to New York. As getting one in NY is neigh impossible I am scratching my head over that one but that’s for another time.
The underlying thread of the story and likely the intention of the article is firearms training and the […]

Stack’em Up!

Sunday, July 11th, 2004

As my collections grow it is becoming increasingly difficult to store the rifles in such a way as to enjoy them, see them, keep them secure AND not have them all underfoot, leaning in corners, draped across Lazy Boy’s. So in researching better mousetraps (Lazy Boy’s are hard to beat afterall) I happened across a […]

An Enfield Weekend

Sunday, July 11th, 2004

And so it has been. Two of the AIM Enfields have been cleaned up and posted in the Enfield Gallery. Specifically the 1942 Lithgow No1 MkIII* and 1944 BSA - Shirley No4 Mk1 are cleaned up and posted.
In addition to cleaning up the AIM Enfields I’ve added 2 more I found from […]

The Spirit of Resistance

Wednesday, July 7th, 2004

“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that the people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
Thomas Jefferson, 1787

A Concerned Individual urges you to vote for John Kerry

Monday, July 5th, 2004

Dear Sir:
I am a senior citizen. During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job. I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.
Since President Bush took office, I have watched my
entire life change for the worse. I lost my job. I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War. […]

Cowboy Bush

Saturday, July 3rd, 2004

I love to hear the Media slam President Bush as a “cowboy” trying to intone that being such is a bad thing. It further illustrates the separation between the mainstream press and the American people .

50 First Dates

Saturday, July 3rd, 2004

I seldom write much about movies, good or bad, and I’m a huge fan of movies though not necessarily of most new releases as I’m a firm believer that Hollywood has sold out their audiences. But 50 First Dates (Adam Sandler & Drew Berrymore) was a film that so illustrates my complaint with Hollywood […]

UN observers requested for U.S. election

Friday, July 2nd, 2004

I wish I could say that I don’t belive it but the problem is that I do believe it. Anything to detract from the sovereignty of the United States, the will of the American people and add to the power of global governance, the United Nations and the Democrats is seemingly permissible.
These congress critters […]
