Insanity

I saw a "9/11 was in inside job" bumpersticker this morning. Is anybody so stupid as to actually believe that crap, now?

I understand that the gullible conspiracy nutjobs fell for it, to begin with, but it has been thoroughly debunked, in every conceivable fashion, but experts in every related field. There is not a single reliable source for the insane placement of guilt on American shoulders.

To make matters more confusing, I saw the sticker on a car that was, presumably, driven by someone on his way to work. How do you maintain a job if you can't maintain an objective grip on reality?

If you're making bacon cheeseburgers, don't mix the grease from a pound of bacon into the hamburger before you throw it on the grill.

It makes the burgers taste good, but the 4-foot flames creeping onto the drip pan toward the propane tank is scary. The flames started the second the burgers hit the grill.

I turned the gas off halfway through the cook and the flames didn't die until well after the burgers were done.

Toys for Tots

Just in time for the holidays, there is a charity round-up!

A group of Minnesota gun owners are putting together a Toys For Tots drive. Details here. Donations can be made directly using this Paypal link.

A woman was robbed and beaten in St. Paul. She has cancer and a host of other problems. Local gun enthusiasts and instructors are putting together training, holsters, and a firearm to help her avoid this in the future. Details here. Donations can be made via Paypal.

Last, but not least, a national forum is organizing a care package drive for its deployed members. Details here.

Quote of the Day

"Congress’s response to being told that 70% of the electorate were opposed to [the bailout] was to stick a couple of pieces of toilet paper on where the ears and nose should have been, and to tack on another 138 billion. Presidential contest aside, this should be a landslide year for None Of The Above."

I've got some hot neighbors.

Raptor's Away!

I could survive for 1 minute, 6 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

There is evil in the world.

I hope I am never confronted by certain forms of inhumanity, for I will lose control in the face of some evil.

Naiveté and Poor Tactics

Linky

If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!

Plenty of Americans would rather stay in their dream state than to recognize the poverty sweeping across the country, right here, right now.

Obama understands that people are suffering. Every week, prices go up at the supermarket, and people are unable to feed their families. It already is dark and stormy for millions, who can't even afford pencils, book bags and lunch money for their children.

But when Obama wins the White House, we may just see a revolution that can turn the tide and improve this nation for everyone, not just a select few.

And I expect him to keep his word.*

Sweetheart, your race/class war is already lost. It's the right that has the guns and the training.

And NO politician will keep his word unless there is an immediate and obvious benefit to do so. If your holy one wins next month, expect to get thrown under a bus for whatever political aim satisfies his needs at the moment.

Another conversion to the Nation of Rifle(wo)men

It begins like many....

I have been anti-gun all my life. When my sons were little, I wouldn't allow them to ever own a toy gun. But events in the past few years have radically changed my views. It starts with September 11, 2001.

Followed by several years of horrible acts committed by horrible people.

This part about the Beltway sniper got to me:

One day I said to her, “I’m glad you feel safe on the bus and in the school, but what about when you’re walking between the bus and the school?” I will never forget her answer, and neither will you. She replied, “The teachers line up between the bus and the school, and we walk between them.” I just started crying as I typed that. Those defenseless teachers had no way to protect the children other than to put their own bodies between the students and any potential bullets.

Finally:

The tragedy at Virginia Tech was the final straw. I was not going to be a victim anymore. My children were not going to be victims anymore.

I took my first gun safety class, and I got my first concealed carry permit. Some people may be surprized that I have changed. I am surprized that some of them haven't.

Read the rest. It's worth it.
