Looks like Indiana Dems are trying to sink HB 1065, the Emergency Powers and Parking Lots today. Why is anyone surprised? Democrats always scream “democracy! democracy!” until they don’t like the results…

A little history from the Great Communicator…

I initially passed over the article about the woman who’s Love Handles Stopped a bullet and saved her life until I saw a news program where she was talking about in on video, how she thought she ought to loose weight until this happened and now she’s not going to try to loose weight… At […]

I find it downright comical that one of the cities who’s economy is most damaged by illegal immigration would decide to go after unlicensed dogs rather than “undocumented” people. So what are they going to do with “unlicensed” dogs owned by “undocumented” people? Will they get a free visit to the vet, a […]

First off its nice to see “scientists” and the media finally admitting there even is a lull in warming and that it started, not last year, but in 1998.. Since in 1979-80 they were still teaching kids about the coming Ice Age that means there was only 20 years of warming? Well, not really […]

Yet another example of why McCain didn’t win is the Dietary Supplement Regulatory Bill. McCain, a RINO on a good day, also stands as a touchstone on who in politics, especially Republican politics, got the message in 2009. Sadly at the national level few of them have as demonstrated by their rallying around […]

Years ago I started recommending Avast anti-virus for non-business home users. Today Avast is still a good product which I still highly recommend. But an relative new kid on the block, or more accurately new product, has taken over my most recommended free anti-virus, Panda Security’s Cloud Antivirus….
Panda Security is by […]

Reflecting on Bayh’s stepping aside I realized the whole point of doing it so last minute was to put the power of nominating his replacement directly with the party rather than allowing the people their choice in the primaries. At this late date there simply isn’t anyone who can muster the signatures to get onto […]

U. S. Senator Evan Bayh plans to announce he will not seek a 3rd term in the U.S. Senate. A press conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. this afternoon in Indianapolis.
My money is that Senator Bayh realized he was toast… But it is unfortunate as by not running, and he’s not alone here, we […]

I am constantly amazed at what diverse interests exist on the internet…

Remember all that bitching and whining about how evil Bush was for tapping cell phone conversations of citizens who happen to call a terrorist? If the Administration gets their way you won’t have to be talking to a terrorist for them to track you. You just need a cell phone.

A am planning some spring trips and wondered what the temperature averages are for select destinations. I am a weather.com junkie but beyond “next month” the information I needed isnt’ there - or at least I cannot find it. Turning to Google I found Weatherbase which lets me find the normal mix of data […]

“[A] wise and frugal government … shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.”
Thomas Jefferson

The 10″ windshield on my Tsakayu fairing is perfectly sized until I put on a helmet. Even with lowers on the forks and engine guards the buffeting feels like someone is playing the bongos on my head at interstate speeds.
After doing a lot of reading on the aerodynamics involved I grabbed a set […]

I’ve been shooting and carrying my Kimber with factory sights for 8 years now and it was time for a change. A change I’ve been telling myself I was going to get to for those same 8 years. Recently this was further spurred on by my desire to spend money with Trijicon. So […]

There may be some conservative votes happy to see Dan Coats come out of hiding in Virginia to take on Evan Bayh but I am not one of them. Its been many years so many have forgotten Dan Coats voted for the crime bill in 1994 otherwise known as the Assault Weapons Ban.
Dan […]

About the only time I’m not found wearing boots is at work in the cooler months and at Church. So that my well over 10 year old Danner’s finally surrendered was no surprise. I’d been looking at different boots this past year anyway so what an opportunity to pick something different.
I started […]

I’m not a big fan of ground hogs today…. Still, 3/21 is the official start of spring and as long as that’s on schedule I’ll survive… besides - I’m not done with my long list of winter bike projects.
