I didn’t believe I’d see the day that I could ever agree with the likes of a anti-American hippie-type 60′s Commie war protester like Richard Dreyfuss. But he finally uttered a couple of comprehensive sentences (as the saying goes even a blind hog gets an acorn now and again): “Civics is no longer taught in [...]
That’s how far I came from having a server in my datacenter up for 2 solid years. Today marked the 720th day of uptime for an old Compaq 1600R running Mandrake 9.1 serving primarily as an NFS and MySQL server. But as happens in Indiana some sever popup storms knocked out a big transformer that [...]
Since we’ve reached the pinacle of scientific and culinary achievement with the baked bean pop-tart.
It looks like the English have found a new way to deal with dissent, don’t treat people with the wrong views. Remember every hand out from the government comes with very large and obvious strings attached. Sooner or later they’ll pull on them and you will dance.

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 stop using [...]

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 the [...]
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 any standing to even [...]
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 is why [...]
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 fear [...]
