Out and about today

ANd I was amazed at the people who were not only in ConditionWhite, but were completely unaware of their surroundings. Saw several blindly walk in front of cars, never even noticing the clattering diesel truck bearing down on them until it was nearly touching them. And this was in bright sunlight. I wonder what they do at night? 

It is no wonder muggings happen, if the prey is that unaware.

SO

Am I (Apparently I am) the only one who has a Jones for 1911 in .357 Sig? I want one more than I want a Coonan (and that is pretty bad).

Apparently the market for such a firearm is not more than the one I would buy.

I can find ’em in .45 ACP, .40 S+W (which should make it easy to change to .357Sig because it is, after all, the parent cartridge ) 10mm and 9mm, but not in .357Sig…..Why is that?

(Yes, I know there are conversion barrels for the .40’s (and some .45’s). But the reviews are terrible and apparently they take a huge amount of hand fitting and the reliability just doesn’t seem to be there)

Someone important musta got taken…

‘Cause I can’t see Eric Holder caring about the little people enough to do this otherwise….

So it seems that the “Asset seizure program” that cost so many innocent people’s money and property when it was misapplied (unConstitutionally, I might add) to any random traffic stop where people had “large” sums of cash (if $1K or $2 K actually large?) is now a no-no….

At least there is some beginning of relief:

     Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Friday barred local and state police 
     from using federal law to seize cash, cars and other property without warrants
     or criminal charges.


This SHOULD make it harder for local constabulary to steal honest people’d money and property without proof of wrongdoing. 


Let us hope it sticks. 



DO you believe

So we are supposed to believe that some 13 year old kid wrote a letter  to Santa that somehow, magically, ended up in the White House, and (oddly enough) got put in front of Barry O.

And so, this letter, which is written out, (perhaps) by a barely literate black teenager who uses words like “Siblings”. Really? This marginally literate 13 year old boy supposedly wrote this letter….

I know that Liberals are big on symbolism, but really, even they cannot be so stupid as to really believe that this letter was composed by a 13 year old inner city boy, rather than just writing what was dictated to him….if he wrote it at all. It does seem to fit all the stereotypes that liberals believe about black people, doesn’t it? 

I mean, I am glad he gets to see the assembled members of our government, and I have no doubt that this a big trip for him. (Hell, I’d like to go too) but I don’t, for even a moment, believe that this story is true. I suppose if you can get enough people to say it often enough, some folks will believe it?

But, really, no one with more than 3 neurons should either, if they bother to look beyond the media’s story.
