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 [...]

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 — [...]

$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 [...]

How come nobody has “steam-punked” a modern firearm?

New Orleans must be some kind of cesspool that Katrina did not cause but rather revealed. NO cops stealing from stores is an image we remember. That was impersonal burglary. We also remember NO cops and their proxies stealing the tools of protection from the survivors of Katriana. Badged robbers are [...]

Seven years ago, while searching for news about the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, I discovered blogs. Because of the attacks, I was attracted to the bellicoseosphere. I never looked back. I will never forget.
