If yer driving a *White* SUV in blowing snow where the visibility is approaching ZERO (less than tens of feet) and you are no in the lane, but rather in the center of the road, doncha think that it *MIGHT* be a good idea to turn on your lights so the rest of us can see you and act appropriately?

I mean, I could care less if you get killed in a head-on, but you might kill someone else that matters…..

(Yeah, I know, waste of electrons, but it makes me feel better)

So I gotta go to work again like everybody else.

Damn

Bobby Jindal.

He has words that I agree with.

I mean, unlike nearly every other politician, each time he opens his mouth, I don’t immediately decide not to vote for him.

A girl who was into Yoga.

She was fun….And flexible. I dug that.

But Damn!

Brian Williams will be hosting a special  on NBC where he reminisces about leading the Donner Party across Boston during the last blizzard.

Film at 11.

ETA: Sadly, we have no video. It was accidentally stored on the same server which housed Lois Lerner’s Emails and can no longer be found.

ETA: He is actually suspended for 6 months

Ask ’em to look into the case of Maj. Matt Golsteyn…Silver Star recipient. 


The Army, apparently in retaliation for some disparaging remarks, is revoking the Silver Star awarded for Heroism under fire. They claim unspecified criminal acts and violations of Rules of Engagement, but haven’t charged him with any crimes nor violations. Why, if he has done something so heinous, haven’t they charged him?


This is, in my opinion, bullshit, and any officer involved should be stripped of his or her rank and discharged under less than honorable circumstances. 


If the man has done wrong, then charge him. Let a courts martial tribunal decide. 


Anything else is an insult to our troops and them men who lead them. If we allow the upper echelons of the armed services to shaft our military heroes, then how can we expect loyalty from them or the men who follow them? 


I was waiting for more info, but Borepatch pushed me into posting this as well….


I’ve called my Senators (positive response) and Congressmen(waste of time, actually) and asked for them to investigate.. So should you. Ask ’em to look into this a bit. If ever there was a good reason for a Senatorial Investigation (they do so many that are a waste of time) then this is one….I believe that this requires more investigation. If Major Golsteyn has done something wrong worthy of having his Silver Star stripped, then he should be charged and tried. If not then he should retain it. 


Take a minute and call. If you don’t know your Senators numbers, (You should, mine are in my cell phone’s contact list) then you can find them over at the top left column under “How to find your Congresscritters.” or just click the link. 
I thank you for your time on this. 

I have to agree with Peter.

On the other hand, not voting for the lesser of the two evils gives us the greater evil, by default. WHich is what has happened in our countries current political system.

Either way, we are screwed.

Even the Press is starting to admit that Global Warming is a hoax:

The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever

Para to stop making pistols?

I own 3 of ’em, and while 2 had no issues and one had to go back to the factory 3 times, they are a decent machine, and I use 2 of them for EDC.  The LDA trigger is awesome. Better than S+W, better than Glock, and in a 1911 pattern pistol.

I hope the report is wrong. I was planning on buying another later this year.

They didn’t.

Barry, you are an ass. A total disingenuous ass. With bells. and cherries.

Yes, centuries ago, when the standards for behavior were different, when life was cheaper, the Christians were barbarians according to today’s standards….So were the Jews. And especially, so were the Muslims.So were the Vikings.

That was then, this is today.

Today, however, the Jews and the Christians have a much more civilized standard of behavior.

To justify actions taken TODAY, in this century, by comparing those actions to those of peoples and civilizations of 200, 500 , 700 and even a thousand years ago is to justify the fact that the Muslims (at least a significant subset of them) are stuck in third century standards of behavior.

We got civilized. They didn’t. If they can’t, then we need to eradicate them.

Making excuses for barbaric behavior by bringing up acts from hundreds of years ago is, at the basics, a lie.

You make the case for “Us or Them” .

It won’t end well for them. They may have the numbers, but we in the west have better toys. Once we decide they are barbarians, they will cease to exist.
