[T]he Government has employees who were willing to suit up with guns and bullet proof vests to raid a guitar factory in Tennessee. Go ahead…name something they wouldn’t do. – The Adaptive Curmudgeon

I’d love to bring you true enlightenment, but all I can do is maybe brighten your day a bit. Remember the TV commercials of the late sixties, offering all those brilliant solutions to all those nonexistent problems? Actors seemed not … Continue reading →

I was in such a good mood. Had a really productive day planned. Got some of it done, but it was in the face of impediments. First! Go cut wood, play with chainsaw. That went reasonably well at first. There’s … Continue reading →

Freshly serviced chainsaw. Three sharp chains. New can fulla stabilized mix gas. Lots of mix oil, lots of bar oil. Priceless. Speaking of which, in addition to keeping me warm this winter the little girl’s gonna make me a little … Continue reading →

If you’re ever in the offices of the Washington Post, stay away from the water cooler. Spiked with Koolaid, apparently… The real scandal here is America’s refusal to curb the flow of gun traffic from the United States to murderous … Continue reading →

Click’s been cultivating her personal monster for over two years now. She don’t have to worry about the freelance monsters in her old age.

It’s so cute and tiny! Phoenix-based Nuestros Reconquistos claims that there will be a war very similar to the Civil War fought in the next five years. “La Raza and MEChA have already talked to Latinos and Phoenix and explained … Continue reading →

Tam brought up the work of S.L.A. Marshall, on which many of David Grossman’s claims (principally that most people are physiologically and psychologically incapable of harming other people up-close-and-personal) are based.

Kenneth Melson is out at ATF. Fired? Oh, hell no! He hasn’t sung about his DOJ masters’ role in Gunwalker – at least not publicly – and they’d probably rather he didn’t. He was the designated scapegoat from day one, … Continue reading →

Sheep dogs are someone’s property and they help control other property. It sounds like a liberal’s fantasy of society. You know, the flock carefully tended and controlled with the sheep dog doing the master’s bidding. Yeah, over at SnarkyBytes there’s … Continue reading →

You know your scandal has arrived when Iowahawk starts lampooning it. Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, Justice Department officials admitted that the guitars were part of a complicated sting program known as “Operation Fast and Fretless,” ostensibly … Continue reading →

I need to have a word with Little Bear. Boy’s letting me down.

There’s something living under the Big Doghouse in Gitmo. The doghouse is in grave danger – possibly the whole power shed. I don’t know what it is, but Little Bear wants it bad. He wavers like a spiritual seeker between … Continue reading →

“He shall, as the occasion requires, personally Man the National Response Coordination Center to Protect the Citizenry from Hurricayns…” This has nothing to do with the crap Bush had to take over his failure to protect N’Orleens from Katrina. Nothing … Continue reading →

I have a new project. Yeah, like I need another project, but this one’s pretty simple. I’m gonna paint all my AK magazines green. The reason for this is two-fold: First, a couple of my magazines rusted in the pouch … Continue reading →

Some time ago, a (strongly!) conservative reader posted a comment that’s still back there somewhere. He commented not on any particular post, but to criticize the whole premise of the blog. How could I say the answer isn’t bullets? Did … Continue reading →
