After all the cries that Bolton’s nomination would be the end of the world we’ve strangely heard nothing about what he’s been up to recently. And speaking of small arms (previous post tonight) I’ll always remember Bolton for his brilliant opposition in the U.N.’Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons and All it’s […]

What the main stream press isn’t reporting on is that Tony Blair sank Kyoto at the Clinton Summit last week and how the big media players simply ignored it.
“My thinking has changed in the past three or four years.” So what does he think now? “No country, he declared, “is going to […]

Neal Boortz points out what Katrina helped Louisiana sweep under the media radar. $60 Million Federal dollars lost to corrupt officials.

Glenn Reynolds on The Next International Right.
The result, conclude law professor Daniel Polsby and criminologist Don Kates, is that “a connection exists between the restrictiveness of a country’s civilian weapons policy and its liability to commit genocide.”
Armed citizens, they argue, are far less likely to be massacred than defenseless ones, and armed resistance to […]

Farrakhan once again proves he’s not living in the real world.
“I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry,” Farrakhan said.
Thing is, without racial tensions […]

A German inventor has created dead cat diesel. Now if he could apply the technology to possums we’re home free.

The employees of vendors Wal-Mart buys product from are suing Wal-Mart for not making sure the vendor’s employees were taken care of. Now I’m certainly no friend of Wal-Mart despite the amount of my pay that seems to go there. But look at the list of “countries” - California, Swaziland, Nicaragua, mainland China, Indonesia and […]

I finally broke down and bought a 357 Magnum snubbie. I considered several including the Ruger SP-101, the 3″ GP100, 3″ S&W 66, and various Taurus designs. The one I really wanted was the 3″ blued GP100 I saw at the 1500. The S&W 66 round butt was close but for some […]

Initially it infuriated me that President Bush would take responsibility for someone elses mess. Especially when the owners of the mess are still pointing shrill accusations at Bush and the Federal Government for a local problem.
Then I realized - Bush is being the man and stepping up. It may not be his fault, it […]

Why does it so amuse me that Uber-Lib Sean Penn was caught on film walking around NOLA with a shotgun? He’s right, no doubt, to be carrying one. I just didn’t realize he had what it takes. One thing I’d like to note to Mr. Penn though, the story says:
A photograph plastered […]

FINALLY someone is talking about the barge that hit the levee as the cause of the flooding. I’m certain the rest of the media world will keep the story down as long as possible because they’re having so much fun lambasting George Bush as the villain.
Amusingly those on the Left […]

CCRKBA has released a blunt statement on the illegality of the seizures in NOLA and the NRA took notice on the confiscations as well.

I suppose it could be worse, it could be Oliver Stoned. The Aviator bothered me because it was done in such a way as to use Hugh’s weaknesses to overshadow his genius. History is fully of great men who were extraordinarily eccentric but why focus on the eccentricities rather than the great events? I […]

It appears we’ve created the Walkman generation. I’m sure that telephone headsets will have similar effect except since most headsets are single sided we’ll only have ringing on one side.

Looks like the sun’s sending more eruption goodness our way. The potential is for Aurora sightings as far south as Arizona. (Paying attention Jon?) I’d be happy just to see it here in Indiana like a couple years ago. But most import I’m so glad all this extra radiation being heaped upon the earth […]

The response time problems aren’t what they’re being portrayed as. Not that this is a surprise and despite the fact that FEMA is not setup as a “first responder” organisation.
“The federal government pretty much met its standard time lines, but the volume of support provided during the 72-96 hour was unprecedented. The federal response here […]

Dave Kopel on gun confiscation in New Orleansl.
The good gun-owning citizens of New Orleans and the surrounding areas ought to be thanked for helping to save some of their city after Mayor Nagin, incoherent and weeping, had fled to Baton Rouge. Yet instead these citizens are being victimized by a new round of home […]

Another reason, or possibly the reason the Green’s want fuel costs high is to keep the human “plague” in check. While reading an article on SUV sales in light of the fuel prices I had a startling thought. How much is the anti-Petrol views of the Greens have to do with “environmental spoilage” versus […]

Seems the Marxists in Venezuela have “appropriated” one of Teresa Hienz Kerry’s ketchup plants and they want it back. It seems that Hienz isn’t the only one questioning Venezuela’s move to the left - Some Venesuelans’ aren’t too happy about it either.
Venesuela is almost a text book case of pandering to […]

The media would have everyone believe that the US has alienated the Iraqi’s but it seems that it may not be true.

CO2 from burning peat, methane released from Siberia and CO2 from volcanic activity.

Here is a astoundingly beautiful gallery of Deutschland 1929.

The courageous and valiant CNN has won the right to show bloated and decaying corpses of dead Americans on television. They must be so proud.
I guess “bloated and decaying” can now be substituted for “bleeds” in the television news screed “if it bleeds, it leads”. Just not as catchy.

It is interesting that I’ve not seen this information anywhere else (have to scroll to September 7, 2005).
Locals from Lakeview subdivision of New Orleans report that after Katrina passed a loose barge struck levee causing breach that flooded city.
WMR has just been informed by evacuees in Baton Rouge from Lakeview, a well-to-do New […]

Armed militia protects its New Orleans neighborhood.
