If you’re unfamiliar with the story of the P-38 found frozen in the Artic then it’s time you read Exhuming the Glacier Girl for a fantastic story. This would make a great movie for as the saying goes, fact is stranger that fiction. And this discovery and the subsequent resurection of the P38 […]

The Washington Post is carrying an article A Culinary and Cultural Staple in Crisis which offers a bit more information on the tortillas crisis in Mexico and the link with not only ethanol but also brokers in Mexico and trade agreements made under the former leftisit president allowing the exporting of corn from Mexico.

Mikhail Kalashnikov is bemoaning the fact that the father land gave away AK’s to 3rd world countries like they were candy. I wonder where he’s been since 1945….
I’ll eave it for you to decide which I believe illicit, the arms or the arms treaty…

“Those that beat their swords into plowshares, will plow for those that don’t.”

I’ve been bemused for quite awhile at the news and media referring to the activities of the Democrats as “Democratic” which is quite incorrect. And this isn’t a simple error but an excellent PR move and it annoys me terribly which in and of itself may be enough justification for them to continue. But […]

I’d put down $5 that websites like this one will only last as long as they can do damage to the right leaning administration and will disappear or refuse to publish anything that negatively impacts a left leaning administration.

I’ll bet the main stream would consider telling Citgo to “get the hell out” or “Chavez is a Communist rat” racist comments. But would not consider the same of Chavez saying ‘Go to hell, gringos!’ .
Buying Citgo or anything else made in Venesula today is tatamount is literally funding the enemy.
But then […]

Democrats were quick to raise the possibility that domestic terror laws like the Patriot Act would certainly be misused to target the political opposition. Without going into the whole Clinton era an Arizona Democrat has shown why they’re so aware of the potential abuse by introducing their own law targeting the political opposition. In this […]

Hamas’ basic position is that i’ll take them 10 years to be ready to destroy Israel and to make it easier to prepare is offering Israel a 10-year truce. I’d say that’s mighty kind of them….
But I’d bet Jimmy Carter thinks it’s a great idea.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when this guy came home. “Honey? The potatoes and carrots are ready, where’s the duck?” And she says “we took it to the duck shelter, it was still alive!” Is there coincidental the “ring neck” duck being awefully close to “wring neck” […]

Remember how the “fellow travelers” said we didn’t need SDI? Even at the reinstigation of the effort by the current administration many are saying we don’t need it and it’d never work anyway. Well guess what, the Chinese have successfully tested their own SDI and it works. Getting a missle to fly 4000 miles is […]

Everyone has heard the old adage about outlawing guns and only outlaws will have guns. Yet it it often ridiculed as trite propoganda by the anti-gun crowd. But despite their dismissal of it the truth of it is easily evident.

I received a note from Jim over at Tru-Cast Bullets this morning making me aware of his existence so add to my Cast Bullet Manufacturers list. The 2007 shooting season isn’t as far off as we may think so now is the time to start getting ready. So take a moment and review Jim’s […]

I seldom post anything related to DRM because the technical aspect requires too much extra writing. The conversation has been had around family gatherings on why the High Def push, digital encoding, the DCMA, the “broadcast flag”, commercial zapping, fair use, etc. After having just went through the speel this past weekend, twice, […]

Nice of the weather channel to consider Global Warming unworthy of debate. As a matter of fact the evidence is so concrete, in their view, that they feel skeptics should loose their AMS seal of approval. I’d stop supporting the weather channel… but I don’t have cable…

Now I’m not sure in what light, but my comments in Toyota set to overtake GM in 2007 will be on the radio tonight thanks to Bob at 4 Wheeling Today. Tune it at 6:06PM PST on All Talk Radio to hear the discussion.

Even if you’re not planning on seeing the new movie The Good Shepherd it is worth taking the time to read J. R. Nyquist’s thoughts on the movie and bone up on your CIA history since, obviously, this movie about the CIA’s history isn’t going to give it to you. Surprised? Me neither.

Hopefully it’s some tacky individual’s vehicle since looking even at these few pictures have me searching for something to stick in my eye.

Something that got little notice in the mainstream press (can’t have W appear anything but a radical conservative now can we?) is that the Federal oil, gas royalties have been hiked and most of the additional funds will go to rebuild New Orleans. I’m sure the residents of the rest of the United States […]

So maybe the US economy isn’t as bad as they want us to believe? Could it be that W’s tax cuts worked? Na, must be because the Dem’s are in charge now so the media needs to change course.

Years ago when the whole bio-fuel thing started with a little invention called a corn stove it seemed on the one hand to make sense in that corn was cheap. But on the other hand it seems immoral burning food. In the natural course of things they’ve found other ways to use corn squeezings […]

Now we know why Brit’s don’t go to the dentist.

As the price of oil fall through $52 a barrel the pump price here has fallen through $2 and I was able to fill up for $1.999/gal tonight for the first time in many years. Yet the supposed cause of oil dropping, if you want to cut to the chase is global warming. Which […]

The ACLU is suing the police for calling INS on a van load of illegal aliens. Seems a dozen people in a van all with no ID, no license, no registration and no one able to speak word one in English no longer counts as probable cause?

Looks like Castro, Putin and Ahmadinejad’s good buddy Chavez is taking another step in the shoes of his heros and is nationalizing U.S. owned telecommunications and power companies. In the meantime the U.S. legislature sits on their hands while unabashed, self professed Communists take over South America.
More interesting is that the story is […]
