The press that couldn’t wait to trash him, denigrate him and dig up dirt on him when he was running for president against their chosen lightbringer candidate now cannot wait to praise John McCain now that he is safely dead.

But hey, he has good attendance at his funeral, if only so most of the attendees can check out his corpse and make sure he is really dead.

O’Reilley’s auto parts

HERE.

I have 2 on order, but they are backordered until 1985. October 27th, I believe.

Someone has a sense of humor

I find such coincidences somewhat odd, don’t you?

Remember, the Feds have “Not been able to examine” the weapons used in the Vegas massacre yet…..

I am growing tired of having to share the road with people who are less intelligent than week old lettuce, less situationally aware than an overripe tomato, and have the nervous response time of wilted broccoli. This makes for bad drivers…

And that is, of course BEFORE they start driving while using a cell phone to distract them and block fully 50 percent of their peripheral vision.

‘Tis a good thing I am not subject to Road Rage….Just Sayin’. 

I mean, anyone can buy a gun, all you need is money.

But I was trying to do some research on airplanes for a possible purchase and ended up on several airplane forums ….

Damn.

I mean one might expect some level of disagreement, but the thing is, there is a minimum level of intelligence required to be a pilot, right?
Right?

The same infighting, the same unreasonable defense of one brand over another, the same unreasoning hatred of the “other” brand… the same illogic, the same defense of what that person had purchased…

I mean, you can substitute 1911 for Cessna and Piper for GLOCK and see nearly identical arguments (and then sub Mooney for FN to get the REAL argument started)

And the rumors and untruths repeated by people that have never experienced that product,  But they know it is true because they heard it from a friend of a friend of a cousin of the brother of the guy who shares the next hangar over….

I guess, no matter what the forum topic, people are people.
And topic discussion fora are really not reliable sources of data. The same level of noise to signal exist there as well.

He were a senator, and was a prisoner of war after being shot down in Vietnam….

As for the Eulogy:
(My Momma taught me that if I can’t say something nice, to say nothing at all):

.
I do hope his passing was painless and quick. 

Just in case you ever think of it….

DO NOT step on the carpet tack strips in stocking feet.

I was pulling them up  to putting down new flooring the phone rang…so I stopped what I was doing and answered the phone.

Upon returning to the job at hand……I stumbled and recovered with one foot upon said tack strip.

Yikes, that hurts.

No major damage, but holy shit those things are sharp. 

So was talking, along with a few others,  with two gunsmiths today….one professional, one a gifted amateur.

The amateur and I were discussing gun oils and CLP type products.

Most were acceptable to him for the purpose to which most people use ’em. Cleaning and preventing rust, and lubrication.

Then one other person brought up WD-40….

The amateur gunsmith stated that that was the worst product he had ever seen. The pro stated that loved it….Most of us turned and stared at him:

Then he smiled and said fully 20% of his work would go away if folks stopped using WD-40 as a cleaner and lube….”It “gunks” up more guns than even 3-In-One oil.”…..the first thing he does with most malfunctioning firearms ts strip ’em and clean ’em with a solvent bath and a brush…. Fixes about half the issues.

Best to choose a product intended for the use to which it is intended, I guess….

In Chicago, according the the folks on the South Side. Especially those folks who listen to the activists…..

“They are killing all those people”

Of course, “those people” shot 48 folks this weekend…and the police shot no-one in that time frame.

And of those shootings? ’twasn’t whites, or asians, nor native Americans, nor even mexican immigrants doing the shooting either…. .

But it isn’t the fault of the black people. They tell us so, so it must be true.

It’s all Whitey’s fault. And the white police especially.

Both father, and Son.

What kind of an idiot waits that long before leaving in the face of a forest fire? Waits until the fire is on the road? Especially when there is only one way out?

Video shows father, son driving through forest fire in escape from mountain

Damned lucky there was someone with a boat to take ’em to safety.

I hope the insurance company denies their claim for the car…..
