The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach in ’44, I couldn’t find any Frenchmen to show it to.”

And in other news I’m stupid…
NON-PC pic follows...
Teh stupid it burns (and hurts too)…
THIS is what happens when you do stupid things with sharp knives, like pry something. I was helping a friend’s wife fix a new blind in the kitchen, and was trying to pop a plug holding the cord in the bottom of the blind out. I could NOT get a screwdriver under the last @#*(*) plug, after a number of attempts, I pulled out my Benchmade and was trying to pry the plug up enough to get a screw driver under it. Needless to say, it decided to pop out, she let go of the other end of the blind, and it twisted my off hand up as I was trying to not cut any cords on the blind…
Instead, I cut the hell outta my thumb… 10 stiches, 5 internal, 5 external, antibiotics, and no pain meds. At least I missed the tendon, but not by much (they are real shiny when not covered with blood)…
The female doc called me an idiot (true), said I didn’t deserve pain meds, and needed to hurt to ‘remember’ not to do stupid things…
So I’m chewing ibuprofen like candy and cussing my stupidity…
Accidents DO happen, especially when we do stupid things- The old right tool for the job would have prevented this.
Don’t be stupid…
That is the PSA for today…
6. Bottom line- The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are out-numbered by those who vote for a living.
This is, I believe, in a nutshell where we are today. The Congresscritters in DC just don’t get the fact that we the people are TIRED of working our asses off so that others may reap the fruits of our labor. President Unicorn wants us to call our Senators and Representatives; I did and told all four offices I was fed up, and to NOT pass anything that did not include a balanced budget, and I also told both offices if we can get term limits into a Constitutional Amendment I’m all for that too…

A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut allergies.
Comment by Alex Jones: This DHS video is purposefully designed to transmit fear and hatred of Muslims over to white Americans. Look at the part of the clip where an image of “Jihad Jane” is displayed, the blue eyes are artificially intensified in order to get the message across.
This is about playing minorities off against whites, creating further resentment and suspicion, getting us at each other’s throats just as how different racial groups were set upon each other in Hitler’s Germany to create an environment of fear and distrust, motivating people to inform on each other for the state.
They just continue to come after us any way they can… White, Religious, gun owner, veteran, middle class, and working for a living, yep YOU are a terrorist!!!
Sigh…
H/T to Infowars for getting this one out
I feel MUCH better now 🙂
Yesterday I got together with Chris and Laura from Insert Witty Title Here, Newbuis from the Newbuis Papers, R A Bear from Sipsey Street and a couple of their friends for a visit to the NRA Museum, lunch and shoot at the NRA range.
Folks, if you haven’t been to the NRA Museum, it is DEFINITELY worth the trip, an education into what our history with firearms is, and for Chris, it was kid in a candy store time 🙂
Lunch was hilarious, stories abounding, and people just enjoying themselves and as usual, the conversations ranged far and wide, from cooking to movies, to life, to cars, and oh yeah, guns!!!
We headed back over to the range, had about a 1/2 hour wait (better than the 2 hour wait in the morning), but finally got a couple of lanes and started ‘therapy’.
Chris brought a .44 Bulldog, Laura brought her new Rock Island Match 1911 and the Bersa in .380, and Suds had an HK 45 USP (that is one HEAVY pistol).
I screwed up, as I figured since Laura had a .45 she’d be ‘comfortable’ shooting mine, but when I put her on my C&S .45 with 230gr Gold Dots up the pipe, she shot the first round and looked around at me with a really strange expression. She finished off the mag, and we stepped behind the line, and she told me that was the FIRST time she’d ever shot a .45 with full power loads!!!
Note to self- CHECK with folks about their experience…
Chris shot it with no problems (hell, ANYBODY that shoots a Bulldog .44 can handle a .45)!
I ran the target out to 25 yards and brought out the Clark Heavy Slide and handed that one to Laura and she actually got all but 1 round on paper at 25 yards (she had never shot at that range either). She came up with the perfect definition of the stippling on the front strap, she said it looked and felt like a cheese grater after looking at her hand! 🙂
We kept cycling through the pistols, reloading mags and stepping back up and as usual, I did my token head shot miss and ran one round by the right ear… sigh… I CANNOT get through a round without doing that at least once!!!
We were running low on ammo and running out of time, so we decided to call it a day, but I’d call it a GOOD day!
Good food, good friends, good shooting… It doesn’t get any better than that!
And we stepped outside and it was 102 degrees at 6pm… Came home and cleaned guns (the pain after the pleasure)…
