World Net Daily has picked up on the story about Mike Wallace appearing at an anti-gun fundraiser.

Yeah, we know they have an anti-gun bias at 60 Minutes. But this is quite questionable. Mike Wallace appeared at a Brady Campaign fundraiser. Sure, he has a right to participate in whatever causes he chooses and he’s entitled to his opinion. But this alleged news show you work for may want to disclose that […]

A while back, I mentioned 60 Minutes piece on 50 Caliber rifles, wherein they interviewed terrorist weapons supplier and book pimp Florin Krasniqi. I said: The guy [Florin Krasniqi – ed] said (and reporter agreed) that exporting rifles and weapons was perfectly legal. It is legal, if you are a licensed exporter of firearms which […]

Caught 60 Minutes nonsensical scare piece on the 50 caliber rifle last night. The gist is that some dude buys guns in the states and sends them to help some Albanians fight a revolution. They interview him and he outlines what he does. I TiVoed it and may have more later. But here are the […]

The AP: Lax laws prevented the agency from effectively targeting the flow guns across the border. Then, they mention fast and furious. Are they that clueless? Democrat staffers planted 60 Minutes with questions. This report is not for white men.

It starts. The press is pretty much working overtime to crank out the PSH. Everywhere you look, it’s all guns violence all the time. The press has taken to reporting multiple murders to mass shootings. So let’s round some up: A good review of the 20/20 hit piece here. All you need to know: Some […]

Cam Edwards notes that CBS Public Eye, whose fundamental mission is to bring transparency to the editorial operations of CBS News — transparency that is unprecedented for broadcast and online journalism was initially unconcerned about 60 Minutes anti-gun bias and that its journalists were speaking at anti-gun fundraisers while they have been known to bloviate […]

So, Dan Rather signed off last night. I don’t really care because I don’t watch network news. The only time I can recall watching it recently was when I TiVoed the show after Rathergate broke. Supposedly, Rather signed off with his signature Courage. I don’t know, I didn’t watch. By Courage, did he mean: The […]

The VPC has kicked in to full blown hysteria mode on SKS rifles: SKS assault rifles like the one reported by police to have been used in an ambush shooting on Sunday, January 9, to murder one police officer and critically wound another in Ceres, CA, are a primary threat to law enforcement, the Violence […]

Here’s a hysterical piece on the 50 caliber rifles: A .50-caliber sniper rifle can hit a target at 4,500 feet, shatter bulletproof limousines, penetrate sandbags, earth berms, armored vehicles, commercial planes, and drill through the walls (and living rooms) of 10 suburban houses lined up one after another. The Geneva Conventions don’t prohibit .50-caliber weapons’ […]

Jeff details one of the dumbest ideas I’ve seen: In the wake of CBS News’ “60 Minutes” controversy, an influential Republican on Tuesday said he wants to convene a Capitol Hill hearing on TV news operations after the Nov. 2 election. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), chair of the House Commerce Committee, told a meeting of […]

The buzz in the right half of the blogosphere is that the new National Guard documents regarding President Bush that were reported on 60 Minutes may be fakes. Powerline is on it. See also here and here for some comparisons to home cooked versions. Update: Powerline seems to be down, I’m guessing due to traffic. […]

Granted, it is a degree of partisan bickering (you did it! Well, you did it more), but JYB alerts us to 17 officials who were told of the prison abuse before 60 Minutes 2 broke the story. I guess the calls for resignation from the left will be forthcoming? Nah. Update: Oh, and Rummy even […]

Unfortunately, yours truly did not watch 60 Minutes last night. This is mostly because I never watch 60 Minutes or any other tabloid news program (particularly when The Simpsons is on). But apparently, Richard Clarke asserted that the administration was woefully inadequate at this whole terrorism thing and kept trying to steer things toward attacking […]

I make my own stock for cooking. It’s easy. I keep a gallon freezer bag in the freezer. After I trim any veggies, I put the left over bits into the bag. Except for peels, they get gross frozen. But all the root vegetable roots, asparagus tips, onion ends. Etc. I also put any leftover […]

A $600 gun went for $90K: The bidding started at $40,000, and went sky high from there. The prize? A Thompson Model 1921 submachine gun that was purchased by the Tuscarawas County Sheriffs Office on May 13, 1934, and is no longer used. After several minutes of spirited bidding Monday evening at the Tuscarawas County […]

So, I’m driving down 840, roughly near Franklin, TN when I spend five minutes behind this jackass: For a good five minutes, the only two people on the road not me decided to drive side be side. I only snapped the photo because it was someone from WKRN ABC 2 in Nashville and wanted to […]

Samsung’s Galaxy line beats the iPhone. I like my Galaxy Nexus, as I’ve said before. And they beat out Nokia in total handset sales. Androids have been outselling iPhones for a while but that’s only because there’s iPhone v. a new Android phone coming out every ten minutes. It’s a first for specific android phones, […]

Short version: There’s nothing to it. But here’s a few notes about it.

Made some last night and someone wanted to know the recipe. Since I typed it up for facebook, may as well post it here: From Home Life These are refrigerator pickles and should be made in small batches. I usually do four at at time but the recipe is, roughly, per jar: 4-5 pickling cukes […]

I love cock sauce. Wait, what? I love the stuff. It’s flavorful and goes with everything from chicken nuggets to pizza. I decided to try my hand at making my own based loosely on this DIY recipe. First, you’ll need a pound of Thai chilies: From Cock Sauce Up next, I removed the green ones […]

A bit back, I mentioned I got the Primo Junior Grill. This thing is awesome. I can vary the temperature from 150 degrees to 750 degrees and maintain it. I’ve used it as a smoker, a grill, and an oven. It is ready to go in ten minutes. I’ve done steaks, Boston butts, burgers, chicken, […]

Cooking some barbecue sauce today, need a supply now that the weather is warm. First step is get up in the morning and have some bacon for breakfast and keep the bacon grease. Important later. Then, assemble ingredients. Organizational skills are key (note: dog in the background knows something is going on): From Sauce Mixing […]

It’s black and has a lot of aluminum. But if it came in Flat Dark Earth, I’d have gotten one. And it needs rails I finally got tired of Google taunting me. And, based on the two car blegs, I made a choice. Last week, I picked up my Infiniti G37 (the Journey with the […]

I mentioned before that SI Defense was selling lowers for $50, a helluva deal. They quickly ran out of stock and went on a 6-8 week back order. News of good deals spreads quickly. But you’re probably wondering about quality. Reader Bugs emailed me: First, thanks for alerting us to their sale. I ordered two. […]

Not a gun, a flashlight. Wait. What? True story. I realized that my non-gun nut friends really dig the flashlights I had. So, for birthdays and holidays, I’d get them Surefire G2s. They liked them. A friend I’d gotten one for is a contractor. He was up in an attic looking to do some repair […]

Via email, range stereotypes:

NSSF’s long form video on AR-15s can be seen here. Says NSSF: The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s educational campaign on modern sporting rifles has added a new long-form video (long for the Web anyway, five minutes) to accompany its 30- and 60-second messages. The campaign is designed to reach a wide audience in the hunting […]
