I’ve seen these kids on a couple of talk shows, real American Dream entrepreneurs who even won the Entrepreneur of the Year award from Ernst & Young. As a matter of fact they’ve apparently gotten big enough to show on the competition’s radar. The reation? Russell Stover sent them a cease-and-desist demand to […]

Thanks to WRH who spurred me to finally create the Indiana Ranges page I’ve been contemplating for so long. There isn’t much there, mostly links to other indexes, but it’s a start and a logical next page view after Central Indiana Gunshops. Anyone with additional suggestions can drop me an email or post in […]

Speaking of anti-gun “republicans’ New York’s number 1 RINO is sueing several out of state gunshops after New York hired private investigators to conduct “straw purchase” stings in other states. Heck, they aren’t all even contiguous states! Since this is Federal law they’re dealing with I’m rather surprised New York has […]

You know it’s really hard to keep the compassion with these idiots running Mexico acting the way they do.
We want to enforce enacted law in the United States and Mexico wants to sue us? No wonder there are Americans grabbing their guns and heading for the border! Could it be that this […]

So-called “awareness” of UV is at an all time high as is the sale and use of heavy sun screen creams yet there is a skin cancer epidemic underway in the US. Could they be mistaking about UV? And what about the incredible high occurance of depression? Is all this sun screen use and […]

Though I have often said “today’s common sense is tomorrows Company Policy” implying the increasing inability of people to think for themselves bu I think this is going a bit too far.

The U.S. has suspended arms sales to Venezuela which buys arms from Russia and China anyway. Anything Chavez is buying from U.S. producers is because Russia or China’s stuff sucks or its for their own internal use versus for redistribution to various “people’s armies” throughout South and Central America.

Yes! Finally Palm is announcing the Treo 700p which is based on the PalmOS rather than Windows. Though several of the the problems I’ve had with my 700w have settled out the simple fact that I have to reboot my phone sticks in my craw.
Users can enjoy some of the same features […]

I find it amuzing that a “secret government source” is saying to get new cellphones. I have to wonder which is preferable: old cellphones that are easier to listen in on or the new ones that track your movements via GPS? Better yet, let all the bad guys get their evil plans recorded and […]

I’d bet $5 that the wave of violence in Brazil is directly linked to Huga Chavez. One of the historic mechanisms used to incite a “people’s revolution” is just this type of unrest. Too bad no one in the media will persue it. Unless it was Americans inciting unrest somewhere like, say, Venezuela or […]

It is hard to better explain my utter dislike of John McCain than George Will’s commentary on one of McCain’s recent radio appearances. If it’s McCain vs Clinton in 2008 it really won’t matter who wins because everyone else loses.

The University of Oklahoma College of Law has a nice online collection; A Chronology of US Historical Documents. Well worth some time while waiting for the rain to pass. As many times as I’ve read it I still find Patrick Henry particularly stirring.

I seldom enjoy such things but this short commentary on variety not necessarily being the spice of life is worth a few moments of contemplation.

I don’t tend to read roundups of applications for operating systems I don’t run but the Tech Web rouding of non-Microsoft email clients caught my attention for a rather singular reason. Two of the clients in the list are Pegasus and Eudora. Now I’m not a big Eudora fan myself, remembering my experience with the […]

It’s ok to make some industries disclose what their top people make but when it comes to media companies, those who are first in line to point to high salaries of others, it’s a case of show me yours but I’m not showing you mine.

I can think of several other brand names that PawSense could be sold under but it’s just easier to blame the cat.

Duh… Deja vu. Not like the last, oh… 6000 years of human history didn’t see this one coming. And the last one. And the one before that, and… oh, never mind.

It is so good to know that the Bush Administration takes illegal immigration so seriously. They take it so seriously, as a matter of fact, that they’re keeping the Mexican Government updated on where the citizen patrols are patroling. Isn’t that sort of like the Sheriff telling the local bartenders where the town cops […]

When you break it down this guy is only serving six and a half minutes per computer he broke into.
I guess the efficient criminal should be rewarded for his efficiency.
Personally these guys are a prefect example of why we should reinstate public hangings.
