Hypocrisy…

Yep, we ‘have’ it…

They make millions off us and then attempt to turn around and blame us…



AND I can’t help but notice how they are playing the deniability card in Hollywierd…  It’s not THEIR fault, they didn’t contribute to any of this, nope not a bit…

Sigh…

EBIL Black Gun Use…

Any bets on THIS getting any airplay on the MSM???



Personally, I don’t think so…

Random travel…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
Sat next to an old Marine on the airplane the other day, he was in his 90’s and coming back from seeing his son in California.  We talked about bases, changes in the military, and his ‘frustrations’ with the state of the Corps. He told me he’d always wanted to visit Hawaii again, was only there for two days enroute to Guadalcanal, fought through the Solomon’s campaign, was wounded on Iwo Jima, wounded again on Okinawa, and wounded again in Korea.  

Said he’d finally gotten down to Quantico and seen the museum, and was glad they’d finally gotten it done.  He was grumbling about his daughter ‘mothering’ him a tad too much…  

When we landed, I saw what he meant… I know she meant well, but he got around fine.  In his honor I present you with this…

Censorship???

Posted on by March 6, 2013
It appears Facebook has now gotten into the gun debate ‘game’ and is censoring/suspending accounts that don’t toe the party line of banning guns…

Natural News got their account suspended for quoting Gandhi (link HERE).

The quote that got them censored/suspended???

“Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” – Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.
And Wyatt has a post up HERE on what happened in Ohio and the potential ramifications…

And it China now you ‘must’ use your real name and provide an address to the government to use the Internet…

And I can’t resist this one…

A couple of videos…

First, a ‘cautionary’ tale from Rio…

“Pacification” of neighborhoods in Rio; first they bring in special forces in APCs, the helicopters,  then the special police…



And they are STILL targets after pacification…

And next, although long, a good one from Penn & Teller on gun control…



They put a lot of the ‘hysteria’ in perspective, IMHO…

Plenty of folks have links up to the Wicked Witch of the West’s proposal, so I’m not going to dignify it with a link.

I’m at the point that I believe they are about to cross the particular line that ‘may’ just be the tipping point that will wake the silent majority of gun owners and they really won’t like the response the administration gets…

Just my .02 worth…

Comments???

h/t JP for both

Random stuff…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
It’s Friday, all kinds of ‘bad’ stuff is on the horizon, and frankly I just don’t feel like dealing with that s**t tonight…

So I’m broiling a steak (not allowed to have a grill- so sue me), some rabbit food, and a potato and I’m going to call it good and retire to my rocking chair…

A few things though…

Are the Chinese preparing for the long term? Yep, they think in terms of 100 years as SHORT term!!!

Hence the city of Empty City of Ordos…

You can see the article HERE, and there are lots of ‘interesting’ little (well less than $10B) projects going on all over China and they DO want to bring back the Silk Road…

Oh yeah, and THIS kinda strikes me as ‘funny’…  Gotta wonder what kind of gun, and what the trigger is set at…


The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports that Lt. Paul Pratti of the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office had hung his jacket on a stall door in a restroom at the Galleria in Wallkill in neighboring Orange County last Saturday night.

Officials say someone reached over the door and tried to grab his jacket, with the gun inside. Police say the gun fired twice, with both bullets hitting the ceiling. No one was injured.


And you gotta love it (or not), when the PETA’s of the world get ‘caught’ faking data/paying people…

From the Denver Post, HERE.  


WASHINGTON—An animal rights group will pay Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus $9.3 million to settle a lawsuit the circus filed after courts found that activists paid a former circus worker for his help in claiming the circus abused elephants. 
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said Friday it was not admitting any wrongdoing in settling the lawsuit. 


Do dogs dream?  You bet your ass the do… Having been ‘trampled’ by a German Shepherd a few times when he was sound asleep and the bed was between the door and him, yes they do…


This is a pretty cute compilation though!!!



Y’all have a good weekend!!!

Middle East Memorial…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
I have to admit I’d never heard of this memorial to our fallen military members…



It’s in Marseilles, IL off I-80.  Anybody else know about this or has ever been there?

And it came on the news last night that Gen Norman Schwarzkopf died at age 78. He was the coalition lead in 1991 in the first Gulf War.

Back in battery…

Survived the trip (again)…

Good to see kids, friends, family; but it DOES beat one down a bit…

Especially when it’s cold/rainy/nasty weather.  

One pic and a movie, and my butt is heading for “MY” bed… 🙂


This was the sunset in Sacramento yesterday, this morning??? FOG!

We were two hours late getting out of there…


And here’s Vito vs. the bucket…

He will NOT stick his head in the bucket, but he’s nuts for the tennis balls, so he figured out a way to knock the bucket over and get his ball back (the first time it took him about 20 minutes to figure it out)…

If you’re still on the road, travel safe, if you’re back, enjoy the ‘peace and quiet’!!!

A "Character" has passed…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
Charles Durning passed away on Christmas Eve. He was known for his ability to play a wide variety of roles on stage and on screen and also could dance!

But not many know that Private Durning also hit the beach on D-Day, was severely wounded 9 days later , rejoining the 1st ID just in time for the Battle of the Bulge a d was captured there. He is one of the few survivors of the Malmady massacre. RIP sir, RIP.

I’m out and about and traveling so  go read the folks on the side bar. I’ll be back in battery late tomorrow.
