“There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the
universe… and I’m not sure about the universe.” - Albert Einstein

New York can use RICO against eBay for 11 dissatisfied customers but what we need to do is use RICO against the ACLU.

I would bet that Duke Energy’s campaign for CO2 restrictions are based on the competitive edge they’d then have against coal fired competitors. Either way they’re cutting their own throats, down the road at least, and that’s never good for the investors.

Welcome to post Shaivo America where the old are killed so they’re not a nusance.

I’ve added a new gallery for the Smith & Wesson 457 .45 Auto that went through my hands for a short period. Other than polishing the chamber and ramp the pistol is stock and shoots my 200gr SWC’s with 100% reliability and to point-of-aim. It’s not my $800 Kimber but I sure wouldn’t […]

Grenadier Precision is about to have their new FAL Quick Detach Convertible Optics Platform (QD-COP) ready to ship and it looks like quite a snazy one. There are two models offered, the standard model and where the rail extends forward over the carry handle slot called the Scout (QD-COP/Scout). Darren and crew have been working […]

What a horrible name for a software company, Mandriva… I wish this had been released last Friday (April 1st).

It was quite obvious the market was artificially high especially looking at the inventories so today’s drop has been a long time coming. We’ll see if it lasts….

I would love to see the expressions on the faces of all the perverts that find my website with the search term redhead galleries. It is currently the number 2 search term (second only to enfield rifle) hitting me from Google. Bet that’s not what they’re looking for!

I love spring! Except for three inch diameter brown spiders crawling across the floor in the middle of the night! I hope he gets his fill tonight - it will hopefully be his last! Maybe I can trade him for a snake? Or worst case scenario maybe I can break him for a saddle….

It’s up, Carnival of Cordite #7. Much in this release including a cherry 1955 Fazakerly.
He notes it’s an FTR, best looking original FTR I’ve ever seen and I’m dubious that the work is factory - it’s just too pretty and too much like some of the refinished No4’s I’ve seen at the local gun […]

A Second Amendment focused blog - Of Arms and the Law. I’ve not decided if it’s good or bad, not read enough of it yet. But you’re all typically smart enough to make that decision on your own. That is unless you’re a Democrat or member of the Senate in which case you must not […]

“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” - Thomas Jefferson

Darian Worden exposes gun control is Politics Without Reason.

Someone writing about the US becoming an Empire rather than a Republic should really do some historical research first.
The point of empire is control. Centralized control of commerce, resources, and people and their choices.
Funny, since before the signing of the Declaration of Independence that’s been called Federalism - of which as long as […]

Just what Ohio needed, a spammer haven sponsored by the City. I’m reasonably certain they’d block the most offensive and blatent abuse at the routers but, it is a Government agency so that may be a high-hope.
As for public, free and taxpayer funded WiFi internet I’ve mixed feelings as to whether this should be […]

There is an interesting bit going on over at a certain website that I cannot discuss due to possible legal ramifications. But you can go read it yourself…. Oops, I think I’ve already said too much.

It’s frankly no surprise that Justice Ginsburg considers foreign and international laws and not just Constitution when making decsions.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday that as a justice she considers foreign laws - not just U.S. laws and its Constitution - in forming her legal opinions.
Ginsburg said criticisms of relying too heavily on […]

Obvious evidence that the history revisionists are making progress in the distortion of American History. At least among the young.

Cox & Forkum reflect on yet another Clinton legacy. Surprisingly not sex related for once.

At the December gun show I picked up 3 new-in-wrap USGI 1911 mags. I’ve always had good luck with the standard USGI mags for range mags. But I hadn’t paid much attention to these until yesterday although I had unwrapped them and thrown them into the .45 mag drawer the day I brought them […]

Yet more Iraqis Detained on Mexican Border.
Though anything but a laughing matter the lead-in on NewsMax had me smiling none the less:
A total of six Iraqis have been detained in Mexico by authorities carrying false passports.
I have to know….
Why where the Mexican Authorities carrying false passports???

I don’t know who the original author is so I cannot properly attribute this but here it goes anyway….

Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim Terrorists are so quick to commit suicide. Let’s see now:
No Jesus, No television, No cheerleaders, No baseball, No football, No basketball, No hockey, No golf, .
No pork BBQ, No hot […]

One cannot win the battle if one won’t engage the enemy! I would imagine that the Vice President, and likely the President too, don’t really know all the tid-bits of information that make the Terri Schaivo case different from most “right-to-die” cases but rather a murder in the public view.

On the heels of their Governor’s idiocy the Arizona Senate has rejected a bill banning financial aid benefits for illegal aliens. How can a non-person even qualify for financial aid???? I know a number of people who really needed it and couldn’t get it and they were American citizens, born and raised!
