THen say a prayer for the folks in Moore, OK.

Mile wide tornadoes just hit the town again.

So our govenment gave asylum to the Tsarnev family….who turned on the country which gave them shelter, gave them money, and gave them freedom. They responded by hurting 200+ fellow citizens in an act of terror. They were granted political asylum, yet they have made frequent trips back to their homeland….Despite needing welfare to survive, they had the money for trips back to Chechnya.

Yet a peaceful family who merely wanted to teach their children in the way that they choose to, we are kicking out of the country.

Muslim terrorists are held to a different standard than religious Christians, apparently, when it comes to asylum. 

Odd.

Why? Peaceful people coming to the US for a chance at religious freedoms….Isn’t there some history there? Didn’t the Plymouth colonists come for that reason?

Yet we give sanctuary to people who hate us instead…..

Hats off to the Elks for stepping up.

Loyalty.

Require background checks on drivers (or purchasers) of automobiles?

Background checks for transfers?

Limits on horsepower (or cylinders)…Tire size or weight?

We MUST DO SOMETHING!

I didn’t win anything, either in the Mega Millions nor the Powerball.

Guess I’ll have to go to work on Monday.

My congratulations to the winners, whoever they are.

We all know that EPA regulations that went into effect in 2009 made gas cans harder to use. Easier to spill, and generally a pain in the ass. We all know that the intent was to reduce evaporation, but in reality it make the cans harder to use and promoted spills.

Strike back.

You have an alternative to buying older gas cans at garage sales to have some containers that are actually useful:

Buy this: EzPour Spout replacement kit.

This thing rocks. Fits nearly any gas can. No more waiting for the “vent”  in the nozzle to let air into the can, gurgling all the way…No more cursing the EPA as you wait for that 5 gallons of gas to slowly trickle out of the new style nozzle. No more sudden spills as your mower’s tank fills up and you try to remove the spout before the tank overflows….resulting in even more spillage and subsequent evaporation.

Now, regulations would, of course, prevent you from retrofitting any gas can made after January of 2009. I would never, ever suggest that all you need to install the vent is a small drill and a half inch spade bit (fluted bits will make holes that aren’t round in the plastic can)  to make the included vent replacement fit into a new can. YOU SHOULD NEVER DO THAT.  Never retrofit a vent onto a new can.

This is to replace your old spout and vent on your old can…Remember that. Not for use on newer cans. One wouldn’t want to run afoul of the EPA you know.

You can find them via mail order HERE, or find your nearest retail outlet HERE.

Remember, you can’t use these on newer gas cans even to make them less prone to spillage or to make them easier to use. While I am no attorney, I believe that that would be illegal. So don’t. Srsly. That would be bad.

Update: I finally received a reply from the company (Ez-Pour) and their products are made is China. Likely no plastics molding company in the US wanted to possibly run afoul of the EPA….

Seems that he was leaving the IRS anyway….

Seems that Steve Miller’s acting appointment was limited and was up in June anyway..

‘It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June,’ Miller wrote. 

Seems that some folks from the mideast were found trespassing AFTER MIDNIGHT in a restricted area around a reservoir.

But it’s ok, they were just students on a sightseeing trip…..

Nothing suspicious.

Yeah, right

I’m like, jugglin’ cats here.

SO the administration is claiming that the IRS targeting conservative groups (and, apparently, jews) is over, and steps have been taken to correct this oversight by management at the IRS.

Perhaps they are correct….

But until I see people fired for their actions, managers terminated for incompetence, people barred from government employment ever again for their complicity in this, and possibly jail time for these actions  and “oversights”, I won’t believe it.

Until we start coming down HARD on these sorts of actions, there will be more of them.
Until people go to jail and lose their comfy (and generous) government bennies and retirement, then there is no real reason for them not to do such things.

But you can bet that this will happen again….likely this was done at the behest of high government officials. Nothing was written down, I am sure, but you and I and most of the rest of the country believe that. 

I can’t wait for the abuses ObamaCare will make possible.
