California and Illinios aren’t alone, Connecticut Legislator wants .50-caliber weapons banned, too.
You can’t tell me this isn’t an orchastrated attack on the .50 BMG. A big hint will be wording as I seriously expect a lot of the wording will only say .50 Caliber which could be construed to include at least […]

That’s the Blogger News Network.

They’re really pushing this .50 cal rifle ban in IL. I sincerely wish them the worst of luck in passing this and hope there is at least some modicum of common sense remaining in their legislature, that they’re not all frightened women….
Given the choice of living with the risk of terrorism or the usurpation […]

What kind of freaking loons would put on a Beauty Pageant to Choose Miss HIV!!?? And they wonder why they have an AIDS epidemic.

Oh yeah, that’ll show us.

There are myriads of problems in the world today; starvation, disease, totalitarianism and terrorism just to name a few. But what does the “Two-Bit Dictator Club” spend its time on? Guaranteed abortion on demand. One would think these feminists would realize the problems China is having with their quest to control their population before […]

Though doing so more slowly that previous months Firefox growth has now knocked MSIE below 90% for the first time in 3 years. That’s enough growth in the Firefox market-share that Yahoo! now supports their tool-bar add-on under Firefox.

Well, OK, so they quit. Now if the mullahs in Iran would do the same thing we’re in business….
Mark that one more nation off the USMC World Tour.

The saying that perception is reality cannot be shown true any better than by the Arab states. For over half a century they have pledged all kinds of support to their fellow Arabs and Moslems in the Palistinian camps. But history bares out that it has, with few exceptions, been talk for Western consumption. […]

I can think of no better honor than to join Joe McCarthy in becoming a swear word of the Left. Too bad McCarthy’s enemies have so successfully besmirched his name that few today realize what a hero he was. It is unfortunate that Ashcroft will likely suffer the same fate in the coming years. […]

So this is what passes for journalism these days…. Angry leftist “it’s true because I said it” dialogs with so full of swear words it belies their limited imagination and vocabulary. Consider the following paragraph… beware it is rated R at best:

Now that’s a man with major league delusions of grandeur. No kid with […]

At first I thought it was a horrible joke. After some reflection though I realized there is nothing like beating them at their own game to show the hipocracy of the Left. Pit Abortion “rights” against homosexual “rights” and watch the fireworks as the Left trip over their tongues to get out of it.

While Charlie Rangle has palpitations over referring to Hezbollah terrorists it seems one of the largest quasi official terrorist organizations in the middle east has no problem with it.
Could we all have been wrong about President Abbas or is he still in the honeymoon phase of showing off on the world stage before returning to […]

There are so many things in the world that need addressed and what do politicians focus their attention on? Inaccurate movie start time….

Link Cox & Forkum I seldom link to Gary Varvel because every cartoon is good making it necessary to highlight only those cartoons that are particularly profound. The Indy Star only maintains a week of archives so to Slate’s archives may be a better resource.

I’ve received numerous complaints from our staff and clients in recent years on emails that never made it to their destination. Almost every time we can eventually track the missing messeges to anti-spam technology on the recipient’s servers.
It is finally becoming obvious to the rest of the (non-IT) world that the reliability of Email […]

It shouldn’t be surprising that the media is covering the anti-US protests but not the pro-US ones.

Dvorak thinks he knows how MS can kill linux in the classic Embrace-and-Extend MS style. Dvorak is correct that Linux doesn’t offer as broad of device support as Windows but that’s not necessarily a function of Microsoft itself but of the vendors.
Linux doesn’t have the desktop penetration many vendors feel they need to […]

The real story, Syria Reduces ‘Boots on Ground’ in Lebanon.
I always wonder about the obvious ecstasy of the UN when a two-bit dictator suddenly decides to abide by a decade old agreement. But then the UN is really little more than a social club for two-bit dictators anyway so I guess I shouldn’t be […]

With all the insanity in the news it’s heartening to see justice is occasionally served. In case you missed the original story and a bit of additional coverage of the resolution.
I’m all for supporting law enforcement, they have a daunting and under funded job to do. But in such work just a warm body in […]

Why do certain segments of society think they have to protect the rest of us from ourselves? Of course it’s because they know better than we! That’s why they want salt regulated as a food additive.
If they really want to go after a food additive why salt over sugar and it’s many insidious […]

Couple’s camera captures their final photos of the wave coming ashore in Thailand.

If you’ve not discovered the blog IRAQ THE MODEL it’s about time you did. Iraq from the Iraqi point of view.

It looks like Jon Carrol has stumbled across Rapture Ready and is in a tizzy. Not a complimentary writeup yet good insight into the anti-Christian Left.
He even suggests we believe Christ will return when we cut down the last tree and that is why the new Federal budget puts more money toward […]

“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.” - Tench Coxe, of Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788
