D: Have you ever used a weed-whacker? Me: Not on a wall. D’s still getting over his knee surgery, and D&L are way behind schedule. They’re building a very elaborate 4000 sq ft house, whose outside walls are constructed entirely … Continue reading →

I followed an InstyLink to this “news” article whose writer was shocked!  Shocked! To find discourtesy and profanity directed toward our public masters servants! WMUR reported on a visibly upset Concord resident who recounted to the Criminal Justice Committee how … Continue reading →

I HAD ONE OF THESE!  SOME GUY THREW IT IN ON A TRADE!  AND I THREW IT IN ON ANOTHER TRADE BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO STOCK .22 HORNET! (sob) $2100.00, untraceable. I will now go and hang myself.

I met ML on the highest ridgetop near the Gulch, and she spake unto me the words she left in comments a couple of days ago: Well, we already do know the solution, Joel. It is self government, and self … Continue reading →

Da Maya holds a presser, and nobody will ask the right questions. Hilarity ensues.   Back when I was in Detroit we had Mayor-for-life Coleman Young, who brought corruption and racism to appalling, embarrassing and yet somehow highly entertaining levels. … Continue reading →

I did the one single most stupid thing you can do with a chainsaw…that doesn’t involve blood and missing limbs. I left a little, tiny bit of gas in the tank. It’s been a month or so since I cut … Continue reading →

This picture cries out for a caption contest. “Don’t you know who I am?” Former president of MADD arrested on DUI charge A former president of the defunct local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving was arrested recently by the … Continue reading →

The big problem with “wars of liberation,” as I have read about them, isn’t the wars themselves. Oh, the wars bring all the usual problems, of course: Death, maiming, destruction, trauma, chaos, atrocity, horror, heartbreak. Bad stuff. But the real … Continue reading →

…says Walter Block. I favor the union thugs, not the government thugs. For me, it’s like Stalin versus Hitler: a pox on both of them. But, I like to root for the underdog, the weaker of the two bad guys, … Continue reading →

I thought the winter storm we’d been promised was going to be a complete no-show. It was supposed to roll in overnight, I woke up around 2 and the sky was completely clear. Went back to sleep an hour or … Continue reading →

I keep reminding myself that this has actually been a fairly dry and mild winter. It’s not working. Okay, we had two cold snaps that would have killed lesser mortals than myself, and the second one drove me right out … Continue reading →

Blogs Wane as the Young Drift to Sites Like Twitter To be fair, the article doesn’t exactly proclaim the death of the blog, however much people at the NYT might love to.  The social sites like Twitter and Facebook serve … Continue reading →

Seriously!

Gaia, foal of Torrie and Paulo the Former Stallion from Hell, was born at 3 AM Thursday morning.  Perfect in every way.  Quite skiddish about people at the moment, but we expect her to be a total attention whore before … Continue reading →

CBS published a short piece here yesterday. Fox News has sniffed cautiously around it. “Policy of Silence,” indeed. David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh have beaten this drum for months, carefully unnoticed by any of the so-called “news media,” and it … Continue reading →

…Unless these two shitheads get their wish. Get a load of the unintentional honesty in the following remark: Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed a plan to increase federal penalties on states that are not enforcing background … Continue reading →

Vermont’s always had it, to my great surprise.  Alaska’s got it.  Arizona’s got it – to my very great surprise.  Wyoming’s working on it, the only surprise being why it took so long.  And now – of course – Montana. … Continue reading →

The whole Wisconsin teachers rioting in the street thing…you know, it makes me want to puke. It’s all so nakedly greedy and foul, and of course I’m old enough – and from Detroit enough – to understand viscerally that “union” … Continue reading →

$435 for a muzzle brake? On an AR? Are you… And check out the other crap on that page. “God bless the door kickers,” yerass. Frickin’ sheep. H/T to Unc.
