Called Lugar's office
He’s on the fence about voting for the earmark ban. I let the nice man who answered the phone know that I want the Senator to vote for the ban, that it’s the first step in sending a clear message about less government spending and said that if he didn’t, he’s not likely to make… Continue reading

German Pirates leading the Protest
Didn’t really expect this in Germany but it’s good. The Pirate Party in Germany mounted a protest against full-body scanners by stripping off and going through the airport. No full Montys or anything (don’t want to be arrested before you get your point across), but enough that the point was made. Maybe Tam can… Continue reading

Sometimes you just don't know–heroes are found in the most unlikely of places
In my office there is a lady who works part-time for us. She’s unfailingly polite, smiling, and just a real nice lady (about my age). She’s as wide as she is tall. Today she was wearing a “I Proudly Served” hat. So I asked her if she is a veteran. As a matter of fact… Continue reading

Remembrance and Thanks on Veterans' Day
Himself says it better than I can, but I want to add my words to his. Thank you to my ancestors who served in the Revolutionary War and helped to bring this country into being. Thank you to my grandfather, Killed In Action in WWII. Thank you to my uncles, who served in Korea and… Continue reading

And friends of mine on Facebook took… Continue reading

How email use is the bane of back-room politics
Looks like Harry Reid’s campaign might have been indulging in some illegal back-room shenanigans with Harrahs’ casinos in order to get that unexpected jump that put him over the top for the win. At his campaign’s urging, Harrah’s put the lean on their employees to get out there and vote… Democrat, especially Reid, only. Not… Continue reading

And to Obama and his ilk, we're still just dumb….
In an interview on 60 Minutes, Obama (again) blames the drubbing that the Democratic party took last week, on the fact that he was so busy ramming stuff down the throats of the American people using shady and illegal means that he forgot that he needed to use small words and make ‘an argument that… Continue reading

Range Day!
Went to the range yesterday with Himself and M to get some recoil therapy and work on dialing in my new Sig P238. I have my new Stoner Holster (which I got, custom ordered in less than a week, to my door) and it totally rocks. Fits perfectly, the placement of the belt clip puts… Continue reading
