With our 20th approaching I’m preparing for a trip to the Tail of the Dragon and came across this excellent video….

Following my BFF through the Dragon from killboy on Vimeo.

Having known Bob & Deb for 20 years I am very much looking forward to their getting their new gun club off the ground and open. Though I don’t need to go to a range, having my own, I would be very likely to pickup a membership, if they’re offered reasonable.

I guess they found a way to keep Stevens from taking his seat back after all. In case everyone has forgotten it was Stevens who the Democrat prosecutors brought up on corruption charges which were dismissed after the election.

Oh where to begin… I mean besides the obvious fact that you’re suppose to clean your cat before marinating…. If you marinate them when they’re still alive it just makes the fur clumpy.
So these days you murder your child and that’s “choice” - but marinate your cat? Evil doer…
Welcome to America.

Sophie will eat almost anything and she reinforced that tonight by cleaning up a 1/2 dozen broccoli florets the Missus accidentally dropped on the floor making dinner.
Ginger has a bit more discriminating tastes than Sophie and decided she’d pass on the Broccoli. Which was fine with Sophie who proceeded to […]

Stark has obviously been caught flat footed to which a politician’s normal reaction seems to be to stick their flat feet straight into their mouths.
Stark’s slip may be of ignorance or more likely Freudian but how much of this do we lay at his or the party’s feet? More likely Stark’s ignorance […]

We seem to have a problem with the ongoing gulf clean up.. they can’t find the oil or at least not nearly as much as they should be finding.
Now that the greatest eco disaster of all time is failing to marterialize there is scrambling to explain why. One of the more interesting theories […]

I’ve repeated until I’m blue in the face that CO2 is plant food and have pointed to articles showing increasing C02 makes plants grow better/faster not once but twice as far back as 4+ years ago.
And these were largely articles meant to sweep the whole C02-is-plant-food under the rug by focusing on poison […]

Nothing a few Marines can’t fix….

The SCOTUS has just voted 5-4 that the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution applies to the states effectively ruling the ban on firearms in Chicago unconstitutional. Hopefully this will trickle down through the entire IL FOID system but I am not holding my breath.
What is also significant here is the 5-4 split - that […]

Adobe makes some great products but to say they lack customer service and treat their customers poorly is an understatement.
Case in point. I have purchased 8 copies of Adobe Acrobat Standard for my user. But when my desktop tech went to install an unused copy for someone today it wouldn’t activate, said it was already […]

Well what do you know…. it’s working…..

I considered making light of this honey of a wreck but as there was a fatality I shall refrain so as to avoid any stinging rebukes….

As someone who spends a lot of time in the sun I will occasionally use sunscreen but usually don’t bother. I’ll frequently wear a long sleeve cotton dress shirt to keep the sun off my arms but only if I’m already looking like a lobster face will I apply any to my face and […]

Thar be Cougars here…. the big kitty cat variety that is, so don’t forget your big kitty boom-stick…

Now I’ve seen some stupid statements in my life but some stand above the rest:
“Experience shows that putting firearms and grizzly bears in the same place ends up with dead grizzly bears,” said Steve Cain, senior biologist for Grand Teton National Park.
As opposed to what, dead tourists?

People are just so agonizingly stupid I’m at a loss for words to describe how stupid…
A baby may be disfigured for life and two dogs will lose their lives because of one woman’s stupid act… doubly so if she realized the diaper was dirty to begin with and still left the baby unattended with the […]

With a month to go for the primaries only today was I clued in to Bucshon for Congress who is seeking to be my Representative in place of Brad Ellsworth, the Democrat looking to win Evan Bayh’s Senate seat.
Getting past the first thing that popped into my head I read through his site and found […]

Brownsburg has always been a motorsports friendly town so its not surprise another motorcycle outfitter has shown up, Wicked Motorsports. The people are super friendly and they seem well balanced whether you’re sport, cruiser or dirt.
For those of you who have been around the riding scene for awhile it is interesting to […]

We’ve been watching gas prices creep back up for some time now. I’ve even lamented what the prices will be when the economy craws out of its morass. If its this high now some fire in the old economic engine is only going to increase demand and send the price higher.
But the amusing […]

It doesn’t amount to anything but I find it amusing considering they’ve been calling the Republicans the Party of No and here Harry’s Pavlovian reaction to the roll call vote is “No”.
Or was it a Freudian slip?

Remember the umbrage when Bush Jr. mentioned letting citizens keep their retirement monies in their own retirement accounts? The opposition called W a liar when he said Social Security would be insolvent by 2016 and guess what…. Social Security Payouts Exceed Pay-ins which means W might have been overly optimistic with his projections.
And the […]

I was wrong that Ellsworth voted for healthcare in exchange for his senate bid. He voted for it for a $1 million campaign contribution from Evan Bayh. You can’t tell me the timing is a coincidence.

Last week I sent the Governor a letter concerning House Bill 1065 and other firearms related provisions from this session. The Governor signed them all into law despite the high pitch whining coming largely from boardrooms and activists outside of Indiana. Today I received a response to my letter:
Considering the clear language of the Second […]

If you’ve not already best check the Final Vote Results for Roll Call 165 to see where your elected officials stood yesterday. Notice that not one Republican voted for it and 34 Democrats defected.
I have already put my Congressman, Brad Ellsworth, on notice that I firmly believe he sold out his […]
