It has taken me some days to get around to doing even this short and difficult post. Tuesday January 31st 2012 saw the passing of Sophie Hogatha the Bottomless Pit. The only consolations we have is that it was a quick passing for her. And that we had a lot of quality time together. Sophie [...]
I would have posted this a few minutes ago but I had to grab my android phone and head for the john first.
It seems strange to me that with the easy availability of breaching rounds that the FBI would use a chainsaw in a raid. Notice how the spend probably 60 seconds cutting through the door and THEN announce themselves… First, chainsaw is too slow for this unless you expect what they got – a cowering family. Had [...]
OK, so compasionate I’m not. But I’m seriously fed up with all the cost and regulation being placed on the honest tax payer over Meth. If these idiots want to torch themselves then I say lets take a vacant parking lot and and set it aside for them. Probably better make sure its one that [...]
It is good to see a little sanity in the news occasionally and that the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that warrants are needed for the police to track you by GPS certainly qualifies. That it was ever in doubt is seriously disconcerting… UPDATE: Ooops… seems my jubilation sure didn’t last long…

Naturally Israel has been blamed, and may well have been behind it. But I seriously doubt, were that the case, they acted without the United State’s tacit approval.
Here we have a court case that could effect every land owner in America.
So a Wayne Township school system janitor was rumored to have a gun in his car. Not in his locker or waist band – in his car. Apparently the rumor was enough to justify calling the police and searching his vehicle. Now if you work for anyone else you can keep your firearm locked in [...]
Is anyone surprised the Democrats are walking again rather than face the right to work debate? Really? The way my simple mind sees this is let them sit out the session and we’ll just write it off to gridlock. As Sam Clemens would observe our wallets are better off for it anyway. With the disingenuous [...]
