Ninth Stage

Party like it’s 1976.

When Obama got his start, I swear I heard him say, “I am the new J.C., I am the one.”  Somehow this got translated into him being the Obamessiah.  Sometimes it seems that I’m the only one who knows what he meant.  He was not proclaiming a second coming, Obama was declaring himself the new Jimmy Carter.  Many of us remember how well the first one turned out.

Buy your guns know and lock in your mortgage rates, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Am I comparing Barack Obama to the KKK?  Why yes, I am.  You see, Obama and the KKK want to keep guns out of the hands of the lower classes.  The only argument between them is where to draw the line.

Funny thing is, Obama has three quarters of the KKK/neonazi/white supremacist vote.  Why not?  They’re all socialists.

If dad had put his kid on a motorcycle or pair of skis and the kid died it wouldn’t be such a big deal to gun bigots.  This guy isn’t sad that a child died.  He’s joyful for the opportunity to rant about his prejudices.

The new 30 Remington AR’s specs. real close to a .30 BR - except for a .500″ base dia. instead of the BR’s (and the 30-06’s, and the .308’s, and a pile of other cartridge’s) .473″ dia.

Any bets on how long until we see one necked down to 6.5 or 6mm by some tactical competitors?

UPDATE - What I said in a comment below: I just found out that it’s a rebated rim cartridge, .500 body with .473 (.308 or ‘06) base ala the .284 winchester.  Not as interesting as at first glance.

Better cartridge drawing here.

Democrat’s platform:

In order to appreciate all halves you have to appreciate both halves. You have to recognize you live in society so part of living in society is being conformist without completely realizing it, but then again, what is a conformist but someone who follows, but then what is there really to follow[?]

Obama!

Not really the Dem’s platform rather it’s a shoplifter justifying her thefts. But you knew that. Via Balko.

He gave me a very interesting and helpful book he authored on combat stress, the flight or flight response, and methods to mitigate and use it.

I did not know that he now owns Detonics.

Good luck with your lawsuit, Bruce.

There was a time when I too was embarrassed by my middle name. My middle named has always sounded foreign to me as, until I entered public school, I’d been blissfully unaware of it’s existence. In High School I was further embarrassed by my middle name as it is one of a myriad euphemisms for the male body part.

Later in life I became aware of the proud lineage my middle name recalls. It is a name I share with kings and conquerors throughout history. I am still not completely comfortable with my middle name as none use it to refer to me, but I am no longer embarrassed by it. You might say that this is a sign of my maturity.

59% Would Vote to Replace Entire Congress

I wonder what percentage would vote to line them all up against a wall…

UPDATE: Kevin beat me to it and, of course, does a better job.

Emphasis on Lying.  The Daily Stupid, with no evidence, and before the debate, tries to spin for Joe “Gaff-O-Matic” Biden.

When you and your kind reanimate into a zombie army and I run out of ammo.  I think he’s right.

Joe spanks hard. Ouch!

That’s a stick that kills at both ends.  2 Bore muzzle loading rifle:

To the trained eye, this looks like a Saturday Night Special:

That is, to the the eye trained by this:

It’s a terrible shame really, the P22 was a wonderful promise. A promise made by Walther of a miniaturized P99, cute as a button, and chambered for .22 Long Rifle.  The only problem is the implementation.

In real life, the P22 is a disaster; crappy parts made by a flawed MIM process - MIM is not bad in itself, it’s just that implementations vary, apparently widely - plastic used for critical parts such as the safety lever, and other important springs that break, such as the hammer mainspring.

Walther’s P22 is certainly fun to shoot, just don’t trust it to work when you need it to.

So I found things that even more people believe, such as that we have some knowledge of how to educate. There are big schools of reading methods and mathematics methods, and so forth, but if you notice, you’ll see the reading scores keep going down — or hardly going up — in spite of the fact that we continually use these same people to improve the methods. There’s a witch doctor remedy that doesn’t work. It ought to be looked into; how do they know that their method should work?

$700 Billion dollars for big foolish corporations is kinda annoying.  Remember, these corporations “pay the bills” for a lot of politicians, if you know what I mean (wink wink).  The proplem for the pols is that $700 billion is a lot of money to divert from its correct purpose, that is, buying votes.

Kinda puts the politicos in a quandry, if they don’t bail out their buddies, it’ll hit them where they eat.  If they don’t use the money for vote buying, it’ll hit them in their seats.

Eff their black little hearts.

You’d have to be ghey*5 + the HIV to think this video hurts Sarah Palin’s image.

That letter is worth the paper it’s written on, minus the damage from smearing ink on it.

UPDATE: A taste of why.

UPDATE: Here’s how it will start.
