Now I know why my own blood pressure remains low despite those trying to make otherwise.

Jared point out to me the Google Safe Browsing for Firefox which purports to:
Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences.
Considering the fake emails I get claiming to be my bank, […]

I like Dick Cheney and have since since he was a Senator calling BS on the anti-gunners trying to ban the “plastic” Glock. Now as the VP I like him better than “the man” himself because of his rock solid presence, no nonsense voting record and calm demeanor all of which do him credit […]

After just a few months (10 actually) the FAL QD scope mount I mentioned ordering has finally arrived! Initial inspection shows this thing is well built and it fit the receivers I tested nice and snug. This is the first FAL scope mount I’ve seen worth my money since the last mount I ordered […]

A great artricle in the Fort Wayne paper on pending proposals that advance gun rights in the Indiana Legislature. The key points are no-retreat, firearms locked in a car on company property and lifetime carry permits.
According to the article it looks like the gun locked in your car on company property is out but could […]

Pot, meet Kettle.

Yet another step down the road of total unaccountability women can fake the physical evidence and pretend it never happened. Maybe Planned Parenthood will add this as an ala cart add-on for their “other” services.

Especially if you’re going to be a moron and make the cops tazer the bic lighter in your pocket.

It appears maybe the Aussies are starting to figure it out. I only hope they hit full realization before it is to late.

Update on the out of control actions of the BATFE in Virginia if not everywhere. Their actions are so patently racist and sexist I can hardly believe this is an agency of the US Government. But then out of control bureaucracies are the norm for this stage of national decay.

Looks like business is booming and I’m sure CAS has helped as well. And I know I have my eye on another hat, maybe I’ll wear that on the San Antonio trip in April.

When I saw the headline Storm drops dark brown snow in Colo I expected another global warming scare article.
The second thing that came to mind was that the “chocolate snow” was falling on the wrong city and we’ll now have to listen to another whiny press conference from Mayor Nagin blaming Bush.

I have zero use for neonazi’s but I do have to wonder what’s going on when those protesting them are the ones perpetrating the violence. Even after re-reading the article I cannot help but wonder how far can the opponents go before they start to look and act like that which they are […]

Now the Rossi .357 is all put back together after refinishing its wood and I was waiting on that Brownell’s order to get the replacement rear sight which came in Wednesday with the 94 loading gate screw. Thing is once I got the sight listed as the stock replacement for Rossi’s I noticed it was […]

After scrubbing the last of the finish off the receiver and degreasing I soaked it overnight in some naval jelly to etch and matte the metal to lessen the impact of the 3M abrasive marks. Then I blued it with Birchwood Casey’s Perma Blue. I tried the Super Blue first and didn’t care for […]

So now we have confirmation that a Mexican government chopper illegally few into US airspace Does this belie blaming the on the ground incursions as cartel hired guns wearing Mexican uniforms? Or does it reinforce that the Mexican military establishment is so corrupt they’re freelancing? Either way it does not bode well for […]

for shouting Remember Chappaquiddick! during a Kennedy appearance.

Finally proof that the port outsourcing deal is bad comes from former President Jimmy Carter. Anytime he back President Bush something is amiss… I also find it amusingly ironic that the President is threatening his first and only veto on this specific issue.

All I can say is wow… Michael Yon, Gates of Fire. Not for the faint of heart.

A good article on the melting glaciers.

Direct bullseye in Wednesday’s Washington Times commentary, The shooting party.
In the absence of any pressing news these days — other than Iran’s nuclear weapons development crisis, the election of Hamas terrorists in Palestine, on-going worldwide Muslim riots and killing in reaction to a cartoon, Al Gore’s near sedition while speaking in Saudi Arabia, the turning […]

Another shining moment in today’s education system. Just when I’m resolved to hate the teachers unions the parents prove the union’s point:
“I don’t think that somebody else should discipline one’s child,” said parent Marisol Monilato. “It’s up to the parents.”
Remember that by claiming this right you also get the responsibility to teach the kids to […]

As much as they may hate us it’s obvious that they watch what we do. It has often amused me that so few point out Iranian’s and even OSB’s recital of the DNC talking points. Now they’ve taken our Freedom Fries and applied it to their Danish pastry.

I’m all for accountability but Sarbanes-Oxley went (is going) way too far. As one Indiana Congressman said, Congress is good at two things; nothing and over reacting. Sarbanes-Oxley is a clear cut case of the first leading to the latter. In over reacting Congress typically makes things worse instead of better and in […]

While I find the Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoons Contest amusing I can easily see the cartoons becoming propaganda tools against themselves. It’s not like this would be the first time they’ve shot themselves in the foot or anything.
