Note to self- Go find some good hackers and get a DDOS going against these turds…
Update from Wandering Neurons-
We made it to Nashville successfully, but tired. Today was visitation and the funeral. First event was very nice meeting Dad’s old friends, coworkers, and new friends. The funeral was very well done, very touching. Taps and flag folding was done and I’ve included a photo of the Soldier handing my stepmom the folded flag. Again, thanks for the support, and that of the bloggers.
All I can say, is I’m glad things went well for them. And thanks to y’all for your support.
Well, the ( )pammers ( )pamed the ( )pammer post…
I’ve no doubt they’re using keyword searches now…
That was this morning and they went after the two posts ( )pammers and ( )ammit…
So I went hunting, and all of the IPs are located in the location below.
Even though they’re using about 7-8 different main IPs and at least twenty sub IPs they all fall within this one area. I’m thinking small Tac Nuke and be done with it…
Especially when I get home this afternoon and have another FORTY damn ( )pams…
Emily Miller is a senior at the Washington Times, and wrote a series for the paper on her attempts (and finally success) to purchase a gun in DC. Now that series has been expanded and turned into a book.
Extensively footnoted, and written in the same style as her pungent commentaries for the Times, it’s both enjoyable and educational. She delves into the ‘mysteries’ of the labyrinth that is DC politics as she tries to complete the 17 ‘steps’ and buy her gun. She’s also very honest about what she went through, admitting she knew virtually nothing about guns and feared them.
She tells her story, interleaving it with some of the interactions she had with various politicians including Vincent Gray when he was running for Mayor of DC. That one had me laughing at the way it ended, and I knew I had to keep reading. She also brings to light other stories of the over-reach of the DC police, including incidents where military personnel have been arrested and prosecuted for having weapons or in one case for simply having ammunition.
Strongly recommended, not only for the story itself, but her links to the various footnotes and the Appendices. If you’re a 2A supporter, you need this book in your library!
They’re BACK… Sigh…
The Dammit post elicited over 100 spams, prior week average of 2 a day. AND I get maybe 1 spam a week on my email, after that one 10 within 24 hours…
You can say what you want, but I’m to the point I’m beginning to believe if you put up something negative to the administration, you’re going to get slammed…
I can’t put it any other way. I guess at this point it’s becoming poster beware…
Not that we were a tad bit sarcastic back in the day or anything…
Here is a famous 4 jet engine aircraft. Perfectly suited for long-range international travel. Spacious accommodations for both passengers and crew. Multiple configurations that precisely match the intended purposed. Proudly owned and operated in numerous national organizations for decades. Has a well-recognized silhouette and reputation for reliability and safety.
Oh, yea…. there is also a 747 in the shot.
My old squadron, 10 years after I transferred…
We used to stay at the Muscat Intercontinental Hotel, and they had REAL Turkish towels… The hotel automatically added $5 to our bills, knowing we would take the towels (I’m blaming that on the damn Brits… THEY started it)!
And jumping forward, HERE’s the story of the Russian Yankee that blew and sunk off Bermuda in 1986. This one damn near started WW III… The photo at the top of the article was taken by a good friend of mine the event after the explosion occurred.
But in this case I am making an exception… Wandering Neurons lost his father this week, and sent me this and allowed me to post it. I believe it is worth sharing.
This Wednesday morning my father quietly “slipped the surly bonds of Earth” in his sleep. He’d been having problems breathing over the weekend, his doctor had him him admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. According to my stepbrother, he was his usual ornery self, cracking jokes, teasing the nurses, and enjoying a good appetite that evening. Early the next morning the nurse found that his heart had stopped. He was 89 years old and I was making plans to visit him in just a few weeks.
My father was a veteran of WWII, serving in the European Front: Germany and France. He was an enlisted member of the US Army and served his time in a cannon battery as jeep driver, and communications maintainer (telephone/telegraph wiring) among other things. While serving in the war, he earned a Bronze Star, Good Conduct Medal and the Combat Infantry Badge. Returning from the war to his hometown of Nashville, TN, he took over the family’s men’s clothing business after his father died unexpectedly at a young age, and helped the business survive and grow during his 51 years of leadership, until he sold it to my cousin several years ago. Additionally, he actively supported the Kiwanis Club, Boy Scouts of America, competed in the Jewish Olympics in Israel in the 1960s on the shooting team (trap and skeet). Even though he was a businessman, he still found time to tinker in his workshop, actively shoot trap, skeet, sporting clays and International Bunker, receiving many awards, supported both public and private shooting fields, sailed, was a horseman, and many other things that I aspire to do.
He will be laid to rest this Sunday in his hometown that he never left, and my wife and I will be in attendance with the rest of our family and friends. I miss my father and am proud to be his son.
Present, ARMS!
Order, ARMS!

Another of the Greatest Generation has passed… May he rest in peace.
Well, this has been such a lousy week a couple of us decided to play hooky today, so we did…
We “telecommuted”… 🙂
At least on ‘this’ hole I stayed out of the water… sigh…
But a day on the golf course STILL beats the hell out of day in the office. And I’m not giving up my day job. If I did, I couldn’t afford the golf balls to play a round…
I hope everyone has a safe and peaceful Labor Day Weekend!
BO did it again…
We’d been hearing ‘rumors’ something got signed for the last couple of days, but nobody could find out what…
Now we know…
The Obama administration unexpectedly announced two new gun control measures on Thursday, including one that would curb the import of military surplus weapons — in a move that could anger collectors.
Vice President Biden announced the new measures Thursday morning. The new rules, announced while Washington was otherwise focused on the crisis in Syria, took the form of executive actions, which President Obama added to the list of 23 steps the White House already determined the president could take on his own.

Once again he’s bypassed Congress and regulated rather than legislating…
At what point does the last straw come???
These two short statements tell you a lot about our government.
“We are told NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics.”
BUT…
We are encouraged TO judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics”!
Sigh…
