As a reasonably successful (though I’m in a tight niche) blogger, I get lots of emails, chats, carrier pigeons, seeking links and promotion and whatnot. Here’s a handy guide on how to not get me to link to you ever: First, automatically sign me up for your newsletter. That’s right. I love getting newsletters I […]

Last week, I noted that the Seattle Post Intelligencer (which is still a stupid name for a newspaper) was lamenting the fact that politicians aren’t talking about gun control. Now, the NYT is getting in on the why, oh, why aren’t politicians doing more to make life harder on gun owners truck: The Democrats Get […]

So, I’m dealing with auditors from a random government agency (yay, short straw!). All is going well and no problems. Today, having not heard from them in months and assuming that they’d concluded with no findings, one of the auditors calls me and says: Well, we need to get you guys to sign a waiver […]

Received today: Say Uncle!? Why shouldn’t I sue your ass for repeating and posting Les Jones libel against me too!? You Rightwankers get a little carried away don’t you? Like piranhas feeding. My lawyer is one of the absolute best around! Brian Krumm, UTK law professor so I would suggest that you remove all that […]

Terry Frank says: It’s pretty simple. If you believe marriage is between one man and one woman, then you need to vote “Yes” on Amendment #1. And if you believe the marriage vote isn’t really that important, then just look at this week’s New Jersey Supreme Court ruling. For the second time, black robes have […]

In a post called bullying, I noted that kids today aren’t treated like kids were treated in my day. Here are couple more examples of how folks treat kids today and why it’s, well, stupid. Firsts up is this AP story: A high school student was suspended for five days after singing a spoof of […]

Behold, the Raging Rinos, created by The Commissar for secular and moderate conservatives who don’t drink the party Kool-Aid on issues such as whether it’s legal for dudes to diddle dudes and all that God business. Republican, without all the crazy. J.D. has kicked around many logos for the group, following some issues with the […]

Relax, people. I have it on good authority that those are not gay RINOs. Frustrated with the future of his party, The Commissar established The Raging Rinos a while back. Rino stands for Republicans / Independents Not Overdosed (on the Party Kool-Aid) and exists to show that there are secular conservatives who have better things […]

Part Two, wherein I list my beliefs and the arguments that underlie and support them.

FALARAK at AR15.com shows us how to make our own low profile front sight base out of an existing front sight base. Pretty cool. It’d be cooler if he showed us how to cut a Weaver rail into it. Also, up next are step by step instructions on how to legally turn your Saiga into […]

James Rummel of Hell in a Handbasket answers a reader’s question about the source of the old saw that “an armed society is a polite society.” James also links to the Quotable Heinlein web page. That site correctly identifies the work—Beyond This Horizon—in which the phrase appears, but attributes it to the wrong character. In […]

Have we gone too far? I’d say the answer is yes: Gun control is the ultimate extension of the “government-as-parent” scenario which posits that Americans are either too stupid or too ignorant to take care of themselves. While I won’t argue that our nation is plagued with an overabundance of idiocy, it is not the […]

Oh, this again. Salon is poo-pooing anonymous bloggers. Meanwhile, I don’t see them slamming anonymous editorial tripe in major media outlets. What gives? Hell, the stupid Salon article isn’t signed. I assume Karen Croft wrote it, as she is credited to the one above it. But who knows? Lame. Even Insty (a guy with tenure) […]
