AWB II
Pelosi is bat$hit crazy.
Just sayin'.
From the Hill:
"During an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Pelosi said that the Congress will work to find some middle ground between the previous ban, which expired in 2004, and the precedent laid by the Supreme Court in a ruling enumerating more concrete gunowners' rights last term."

NPR can be funny...
I was listening to a special on the banking crisis on NPR on the way to the sho Saturday, and heard what will be my candidate for "line of the quarter."
"That's a nice global economy you've got there...be a shame if something should happen to it..."

Sell a Child to Feed a Child
No, this post has nothing to do with me or the Mrs, personally. Lets get that out of the way up front.
It really has to suck to be one of the parents in some turd-world nation that has backed themselves into a corner like this- a corner that is so dark and filled with desperation that your only apparent remaining option, short of violent crime is to sell one of your children in order to feed the others.
(I'm da King of run on sentences baby- WHOHOO!)
How could you live with yourself, every morning, waking up to a missing child, to cook a meal for your family that is the moral equivalent of forcing them into sibling cannibalism? You may never know (or even worse, find out for SURE!) what happened to your child- prostitution, crime, death, medical experiments. It has to be horrible.
Luckily, America is not in that position yet- but it is only luck. This nation's foolish behavior has taken us down a very frightening road-and I suspect that it is all DOWNHILL. I pray that I am wrong, but with human nature being what it is...I'll be glad when we get out West.
As it is now, the economy is falling apart at the seams, and unlike the mighty Battlestar Galactica, there is no funky Cylon goop we can slap on her skeleton to bring her back to life. The crisis is a fundamental ignorance of fundamentals. To modify an old punchline, "No Gold, Radio!"
Learn a skilled trade while you have a chance, or learn to grow food and livestock. I won't need to trade parts or repair services for CPA work or "mad l33t skilz" when the infrastructure snaps and Battlestar USA slides into a decaying orbit, destined to burn up.
Call it a hunch, but I doubt that any of the prominent survival authors, or televison or internet survival specialists are going to find extra room in THEIR lifepod for any latecomers. Don't put yourself in the position that so many parents in other countries have. Don't eat your kids.
If you don't prepare for toughER economic (and otherwise) bleak times, someone ELSE may eat your kids. And your dog. And your cat. AND YOU.
I have been told more than once that if I can't "eat it, shoot it, or (fill in the blank)" then it's not worth having. While this is not TOTALLY true, there is a wisdom to it.
I wonder what a binder of MAGIC:The Gathering or Pokemon Cards will be worth in 2015?
Value for collectors, or value as firestarters?
Do ya reckon anyone will trade seeds, tools, or even toothpaste for them?
Would they trade those things NOW in any slimy mudhole in rural China or India, where these frivolities were probably printed to begin with? I doubt it.
Our brilliant nation of over-consumers have elected Hope and Change.
If you cannot tell by watching short-circuiting Nancy Pelosi, the Cylons aren't COMING, folks-
the Cylons are HERE, and running the ship.
Super-fortunately for us here in the US, "The Plan" is not yet in full swing. time is short, but the methods people are resorting to are not LAST RESORTS. It may seem like it financially to some, but before the Age of the Platinum Unicorn may begin, and before the Easter Bunny can deliver your free health care, even well prepared 'Muricans may find it necessary to take what they consider Desperate Measures (from the 'Murican point of view.)
Anyone short on cash may be tempted to "sell a child to feed a child." I personally believe this is the wrong tactic for the current time.
Lets say a gunowner has to sell a nice piece of their collection to make rent, power, mortgage, or food- well then, that is selling a "child" to feed themselves.
If, HOWEVER, they are selling the piece of their collection in order to buy ammo to feed another piece in their collection...well...whoa. For shame. Sell it for hi-cap magazines instead.
(just kidding about the last few sentences, I just suck at transitioning.)
Point is, some very nice stuff that normally would remain unseen by the masses has and will come up for sale, due to financial necessity or even hardship.)
Case in point:
a close friends personal (but thank heavens, not only) Long Distance Zombie Zapper.
.50 BMG sub MOA. Ouch; I want, but cannot feed it myself. I can count the .50 BMG I have on hand on the fingers and toes of fewer than 10 targets.
Lookie:
More info available on AuctionArms.
Good luck with your collections, folks.
Like old Scoutmaster Vic used to say to me weekly: "Buy Cosmoline."

English to Gunsmith dictionary
Anybody know where I can find one to hand out to folks BEFORE I take in work?
Today's example:
(In English) "Can you clean my shotgun for me?"
(Gunsmith SHOULD hear) "I've kept this buried in my back yard for 2 years, and hadn't cleaned it for at least 10 years before that. I think the freeze/thaw cycle might have left a mark on the bluing; mechanical parts X, Y and Z also stick sometimes- can you make it look brand new, clean it, test it, and only bill me for 30 minutes of work?"
I'm just saying.
Perhaps $150 Mossbergs wouldn't become $20 Mossbergs (requiring $200 of work & parts!) if they had been fortunate enough to have been born Benellis- but somehow, I doubt it.
Having a truck gun is one thing-full of dirt & lint & kept in a soft case in your trunk for 3 weeks during first snow, well, not so hot.
Hey, on a n up note, check out the newish hat at the NRASTORE.

Ars sine panem circenses est
(Art without bread is circuses)
These thieving dunderheads need to be immediately and forcefully evicted from United States soil.
I say the building in NY be turned into a damn massive homeless shelter, or better yet, VA Hospital. Let them move their happy asses to Gitmo- it will be empty soon, anyway.
Disgusting.

BHO ignores MORE relatives living in poverty...
In a Boston slum. Gotta love this guy and his genuine concern for the family members he wrote about in his book, huh?
Slow posting due to VOLUMES of refinish work and a BSOD issue on the home computer that I have not fully tracked down yet.
I am stunned at the number of first time gun-buyers that are looking for advice these days. Anyone else getting that?

Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Blast from the past:
Forgot I had some old Queesnryche loaded in the itunes, and it came on this afternoon....
For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I'm tired of all this bull$hit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam
They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale
I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies
Revolution calling

DA ROOF! DA ROOF!
...DA ROOF IS ON FIRE!
We Don't need no bailout, let the mother BURN!
I reckon now is as good a time as any to buy up any leftover gardening seed, huh?
Gonna need a victory garden when the politicos get around to declaring a
"War on Wall Street," or "War on Recesion," or whatever alternative asinine proposals come out of this freaking mess.

New Metallica - Death Magnetic
Wow! Unlike the last 3 albums (or 4, I quit caring, listening and buying after toad, re-toad, and craptastic, or whatever they were called,) Death Magnetic is NOT, I repat, NOT made out of 100% pure donkey suck.
I won't say I'm impressed, but at least I can say I'm not displeased, and can now stop pretending that they all perished in a fiery plane crash in 1991, after the Black album came out.
(That really screwed with my little demented fantasyland when Newsted was on RockStar SuperNova, which by the way, Storm Large SO should have won. The is no justice sometimes.)
Anyhow, I won't recommend anyone go BUY it yet, but it really isn't awful, overall. Unforgiven III takes soemthing away from the overall feel... take it back to Creeping Death and Blackened, Fellas.

Invented by Accident!
...and apparently, reported on by accident, too.
Who woulda thunk that my favorite hobby revolves around charcoal, sulfur and "Saltpepper?"
Gotta love that spellcheck and/or crappy dictation.
Jeebus. Spellcheck, but don't factcheck. For heaven's sake, don't proofread, either.
I suspect it was compressed IN the bamboo tube, and did not compress the tube.
Perhaps the caption was written by a depressed boob, and was not really about a compressed tube?
Maybe a repressed newb?
Or a regressed dude?
Perplexed frood?
Convex Ood?
Complex food- that must be it. Or undressed nude (commonly found in bathtubs and showers.)
Does anybody here REALLY keep saltpeter in their kitchens these days? Or did the captioner SERIOUSLY need to mention that salt & pepper are commonly found in kitchens?
I guess I should let it go now... the person that put that up COULD be working in a Judicial system or at some DMV office I would need to deal with daily...
at least the cold war is back on, and prospects of a fire and brimstone cleaning of the gene pool is back on the table...
oh crap. I clicked the next link.
I had no idea that engineers developed bellybuttons. How cool.
I love the media.

Creepification...
It has been bugging me for a few weeks now, where I had seen Mrs. "O" before...
Until I realized that it was preaching in front of an audience that included Jake and Elwood blues.

Why the hell doesn't Obama just fly down to Nawlins and tell the wind and the rain to "BE STILL?"
Worked the last time, right?
