Last I read the Lautenberg amendment didn’t include ‘delusional’ as something that prohibits one from owning a ammunition, especially when the “subject” is deemed such by an ex-girlfriend! Even under domestic protective orders it’s the firearm that is prohibited. And I wonder how much pressure the ex- was under by the us attorney to file [...]
Huh.. I wonder where it went? Many pointed out that anytime someone claims consensus and that the “debate is over” are trying to shut down that debate rather than deal with it. And now we know why…. Of 528 total papers on climate change, only 38 (7%) gave an explicit endorsement of the consensus. If [...]
If you’ve not heard the evening news touting how poor the President’s approval rating is I’ll let you in on the secret as to why. It’s actually very simple really, since last election when Democrats took over the Congress’s approval rating tied with the historical low of 18%. Compare that with the President’s who now [...]
Anyone who doesn’t understand why i’m content with my shack in the middle of the woods and away from the foolhardiness of “town” can read about the guy who got jail time for fixing his and city property without a permit. Even the more hick villages have commisions that think they’re god with totally idiotic [...]
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly . . . who knows [...]

When the wall came down and the old Empire crumbled a lot of optimists thought that was the end of the Soviet system. And while it may have been the end of that system it certainly was not the end of the Russian Bear nor their military ambitions. Putin has been rattling his saber for [...]
It is no surprise to me that two-thrids of US adults are in the dark about world politics. The constant bombardment of our media on such stupidity as Lindsy Lohan and Anna Nicole takes up most front page headlines as American media struts the 1% as normal. How long before we simply tune out because [...]
Laws – the good people don’t need them and the bad people don’t obey them, so what good are they? – Unknown
While you’re worrying about your kids eating Chinese toys better make sure you’re not flying Chinese maintained aircraft, too. One thing that annoys me in this article is the confusion between the two China’s. Is the media now complicit in obscuring from public view that we do have 2 China’s? I suppose I’d be less [...]
