Democrats in Philadelphia still buy the false argument that guns cause crime and want Obama and Hillary to come out in strong support of more anti-gun laws. At the same time they admit it is political suicide for any politician. This is one place McCain has been fairly up and up whereas the Democrat […]

Every now and then you just have to say DUH! and move on. Duh! one because we’ve known this for several years now and Duh! two if you think the media not only doesn’t know but thinks this will get them to change their tactics. Because they’re getting what they want.

This type of thing seems to be becoming more and more common, someone lists someone else’s house as open to public picking over and an innocent man gets his property ransacked. How do you stop things like this? First, throw anyone who participates in jail. Second, disallow any such ads or require the owner […]

I believe I mentioned last month that the housing bust would turn around fairly quickly as prices fall and bargain hunters get into gear and it looks like it is already happening as sales of existing homes rise in February.
I had noticed a number of houses in my area which had been for sale for […]

Obama supporters will support McCain over Hillary and Hillary supporters will support McCain over Obama. Is it any wonder that Conservatives have a problem with the Republican Democrats can vote for? Granted there was a lot of cross over with Reagan but a lot of these Democrats were left behind by the Democrat party […]

Want further evidence that our budding “surveillance society” is not proof against criminals? How about the 200 surveillance cameras that failed to stop a rape suspect…
Surveillance has its place and its uses but it is not a substitute for a .38 in your pocket.

In December my wife’s 03 Grand Prix GT went out of warranty. I’ve recounted some of the problems here, probably not all. But final nail in the coffin, though, came this week.
A leak in the horribly engineered fresh air intake allows water to flow off the windshield, through the venting and fill up the passenger […]

“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin? Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should […]

“Well, Seamus Wright, I’ll keep this brief. On St. Patrick’s Day, you should spend time with saints and scholars, so of course, you know, I have two more stops I have to make. I turned back to the ancient days of Ireland to find a suitable toast, and I think I have found it. St. […]

There seems to be some questions regarding the integrity of the IPCC report which we’ve known for some time now.
several assessments of the IPCC’s work have shown the techniques and methods used to derive its climate predictions are fundamentally flawed.
Its nice to see the countering research to global warming finally getting some airing. Over […]

I know many people who have their head in the sand on the North American Union because to believe it is true would demand action and they’ve better things to do But how many State Department meetings does it take to wake you people up?
Strangely the deniers I know are also the amoung the […]

These idiots have apparently never heard of the House Intelligence Committee which by law overseas such things. What they’re really in a snit over is that their higher-highers can’t get onto the committee because they’re too high a security risk. So now they want to have a big investigation (the 9-11 panel was SO insightful […]

I used to believe there was nothing worse han a spammer but I have been proven wrong. End users who get a lot of spam and think IT has a magic bullet to make it go away are much worse. They’re standing in front of you whining and you can’t smack them whereas you […]

There are only a few places I spend my money for motorcycle accessories. it is typically only after I’ve shopped HDL that I look elsewhere - J&P, Cruiser Customizing and an asorted half-dozen others for specialized VTX parts.
In my recent search for an exhaust system for my VTX I ultimately decided on […]

A couple of weeks ago we received our new bed frame and got it all setup. The new frame is a platform with drawers under it and perfect for our tiny house as we’re always needing storage. Amusingly of the 6 drawers only a couple have anything in them two weeks later, but that’s another […]

Having flown one time on Midwest and being horribly dissatisified I find it ironic that they’re moving to sell their cookie dough which is such an important component in getting their dang flights off the ground on time. In the past decade I’ve flown Southwest, Delta Connection and the old Indianapolis based ATA and […]

Here is something right out of the Stalin playbook, Chavez is behind the Colombian revolutionaries which are causing the “strife” between the 2 nations. What the USSR did all around its borders to justify their expansion….

Next time you buy something Made in China from Walmart stop and consider where your money is going. Just who do you think China will be facing that they’ll need all this new weaponry? Hint, it isn’t Russia…

Since we have “consensus” on global warming the Scientists meeting in NYC who challenge it must be as fictious as…… global warming.

It really ticks me off that a 5-Hour Gun Battle on the US-Mexican border where a COP is killed is only local news. Outside of San Diego it might as well never happened.
