Spying

If this were a private individual who had done this, they’d be in jail.

But the school corp tried.

Big brother and all that.

One wonders what else they have up their sleeve.

Were I a parent of one of these children, I’d be gathering the pitchforks and torches and rope.

But then again, I have never been accused of being a pacifist.

USMC gets better rifle rounds

This article in the Navy times tells us that the US military is finally addressing the issues with the 5.56 mm round that has been in use for so long.

IMHO, these soldiers should have the most lethal round available to them. It’s not like they shoot someone without the intent to cause great bodily harm and/or death.

While the merits of different caliber/bullet/rifle combinations have gone on(and will go on)forever, the fact is that the 5.56 round has issues. Some of these are being addressed with the change to the new bullet design.

But there is no substitute for bullet weight and diameter. Speed helps, but only so much.

A heavy, larger caliber bullet turns cover into concealment.

But this new bullet design should help them do what they do best.

Break things and kill people.

OOHRAH!

An interesting article

On where we might be headed if the Big Ass Government and it’s assorted members don’t pull their heads out soon.

I’m not so sure that, military might and security aside, if his vision did come about it would be a bad thing.

But then again, I weep for the death of the nation that existed during the time that I grew to adulthood.

I hope he is wrong.

Are you prepared for the chaos if he isn’t?

And just ’cause all of the big kids are doing it….


Here’s my Earth Destroyer Dodge…It has all of the good things,….Diesel, 4WD, etc.

Mostly stock, except that it has been modified to burn Waste Veggie (makes the Greenies dance for joy) but I also burn caribou fat and whale oil just to make’em scream in agony….I’m looking to find some baby seal skin seatcovers and a walrus tusk ivory shift knob to go with the elephant tusk ivory dash accent kit….

Seriously.

What an embarassment for NASCAR

Seems that the Daytona Track is falling apart, and no one could fix it quickly.

So we hadda wait for 1:45 until they could get the track safe and restart the red-flagged race. I understand that this was for the drivers safety, but for christ’s sake, you’d think that they could do better.

The point is that no one bothered to check the track, and that what is arguably the premiere track for NASCAR is falling apart and needs repaving.

You’d think that what with the price of tickets they’d have been able to put a few bucks back for maintenance of the track surface.

You’d think that NASCAR could do better than this.

Update:

And in happened again 36 laps later.

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

A lesson NASCAR could learn.

Yanno: I kinda quit watching NASCAR last year due to the loss of comeptetiveness with the Car Of Tomorrow, and this was, to be honest, their first chance to make a bad impression, and they succeeded.

In Passing:

Seems that i missed this until now.

They guy who is credited with the invention of the frisbee: Walter Fredrick Morrison, has died.

If there is a toy that is less ubiquitous throughout the US and western Europe, I don’t know what it is.

Not a hero, not a criminal, just a guy who had a good idea and took the time and effort to develop it.

A perfect American Success story.
