Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Small coyote, passing through…
This morning I gave up on what I had thought would be a promising location for the game camera, only to learn upon reviewing the mem card that somebody had in fact briefly wandered through.
How to hide your gun from a socialist
It’s simple! It’s fun! It’s gear-intensive! It’s the one place Chuck and Nancy will never look.
Conflation (n): the process or result of fusing items into one entity; fusion; amalgamation.
I swear I did not make this up. The Constitution Gives Gun Owners Greater Rights Than Women Here’s a disturbing fact to consider in 2018, the year women supposedly began to topple the patriarchy: Gun owners in the United States, … Continue reading
What’s the most famous quotation of the worst mass murderer in modern history?
Probably in all history, given the ways governments have found to use technology to kill their own people. Could it possibly be, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun?” And the speaker would be Mao Tse Tung, … Continue reading
Careful what you dream of, lady.
This guy brings (what I would certainly hope would prove to be) quietus to that lame bumper sticker sentiment… Does that mean that this brilliant liberal wants… – women to be banned from entering school and college campuses? – women … Continue reading
Sorry, really wasn’t doing well yesterday…
You know what a one-legged man looks forward to? Yeah – his other leg going lame on him. Sweartagod it’s true. Day before yesterday my right knee – which is no virgin, it’s had two surgeries and a bad accident … Continue reading
Sometimes nothing’s going on.
Moved the game camera nearer the wash two days ago, in a spot where I still see mule deer. Turns out nothing much is happening there at present, though… We’re supposed to be in a warming period now but at … Continue reading
At some point, when I’m making a total ass of myself in public…
…I like to think a friend would think enough of me to tell me to shut up and sit down while an ounce of dignity remains. By that standard, I must conclude that Shannon Watts has no friends. The Ruger … Continue reading
Stupid cattle…
I spent most of yesterday huddling inside, waiting out a windstorm. When I passed the driveway signs this morning I found the Dog sign lying full-length on the ground. I think the wind just finished knocking it down after an … Continue reading
Taking back “liberal”
I have a philosophy of sorts, but I’m not a philosopher. I suppose the world needs them, though it’s hard to see why: Philosophers tend to be either deadly dull pedants or – if a government sees an advantage in … Continue reading
Now, that’s a redneck workaround.
Since Spring 2015, when a new bunch of cattlemen decided to refurbish the old cattle watering station in my part of the desert and run a bunch of cattle here, I’ve occasionally had to choke down thoughts about the expressive … Continue reading
Google keeps trying to save us from ourselves.
🙂 Google tried censoring ‘gun’ shopping searches. It backfired Early Tuesday morning, Internet shoppers started noticing and documenting the digital gaffes. Users received error notices when they searched for glue guns and water guns, toy guns and airsoft guns, nail … Continue reading
Tam gave me an answer…
So a few days ago I asked a question about something called an Amazon Dash button… …do these things do what I think they do? Do you buy these for $5 each, one for every regularly expended commodity, and then … Continue reading
I like it
I don’t do slogan t-shirts. But I did when I was younger, and wouldn’t have been ashamed to be seen in this one…
The No-Longer-Pink AK Project…
The Pink AK had its very brief moment in the sun a long time ago. Ian and I painted one up and presented it to Landlady as a joke… …and she hated it. It has spent the intervening years in … Continue reading
At last I can go outside and play.
Tomorrow’s supposed to be gorgeous. Today I’ll settle for much milder than yesterday. Mid-fifties in the shade makes it shirtsleeve weather in the sun, of which today there’s lots. Wanted to work on filling in the sewer pipe trench. I’m … Continue reading
Oh, that works much better.
The forecast (the same one that promised no snow yesterday, as the snowstorm began to taper off) says our cold snap should be ending today. Just in time for that new thermostat to fix my one complaint about the bedroom’s … Continue reading
This is weird. You know how they say scent is the key to memory?
Sometimes I think song is the key to memory. Presented for your consideration… I swear I don’t even understand why this song was ever a hit. In fact Guess Who only had one song I still consider worth listening to, … Continue reading
Ban the massacre of machine gun magazines? I agree, Congressperson!
A machine gun magazine is a terrible thing to massacre, and I’m against it. BTW, CNN considers it polite to practice reading your lines until you can speak them as if not reading. On a more serious note is “comprehensive … Continue reading
