So I've got "Sons of Guns" as background noise

It's that new show on the Discovery channel about coon-ass gunsmiths modding modern rifles and making repos.

Anyway, this episode has them recommissioning Tommy guns for a local sheriff.

Changing a semi-auto Thompson sub-machine gun into a selective fire automatic machine gun.

For cops.

Except for the ones that come in here, I haven't met a whole lot of ... ummm.....very mechanically inclined or ummm... well...competent po-po in my gas leak responses. You know, like being able to follow directions.

So here we have a marvel of 1920's ingenuity that has such tight tolerances that without being kept meticulously clean and lubed- won't work.

They found that out in WWII.
And it shoots a .45ACP.

Even that poodle shooter we've had since the 60's has more close up knockdown power because it's a RIFLE ROUND. And it's easier to fieldstrip.

Why, except for the cool factor, would anyone use a Tommy gun instead of an AR platform, or even an AK style?

When you listen to those talking heads

And they're praising the wonderful wisdom of the masses, or whatever the meme is that day, think of this video because that's real close to what "the Arab street" believes.


Sleep well.

The myth of Big Ed.

And why it's a lie.
I'm sure everyone reading this blog has grown up hearing that "without a college education, you won't be able to get a good job."

I didn't do much more educational wise than Naval courses after I graduated from High school. Some of them were college level, but probably not accreditable.
Right now I'm out of work. I've been offered a job whenever the Navy gets off it's collective @ss and finishes my background investigation, but I'm still applying for jobs.
There are quite a few that I could fill with my knowledge of electricity, construction, heavy equipment and background in the Natural gas industry- BUT I'm not eligible because I didn't spend two years going into debt so someone could sell overpriced textbooks to me.
Now that tuition is skyrocketing and Pefezzer 0bama has his .GOV claws in the student loan scam, the only people who are going to be able to pay off their loans will be working for the government. Because everyone else will be working for not much more than minimum wage because of the dilution of those useless degrees.

In construction, we have QC engineers that we have to call for compaction tests when we backfill. They come out with a machine that measures density via radiation. They also do slump tests on concrete pours. I learned how to do both when I was a Sea Bee. I can't even apply for an entry level position at $12/hr because I don't have an engineering degree- besides I'm used to making a lot more.

Because the time I would have wasted making rich professors even richer in college; I learned not only a trade in the Navy but just what kind of a sh1thole the rest of the world is- and how well America stacks up.
No wonder Liberals hate the military.

So, Clarence Thomas should recuse himself?

This entire article is talking about the possible conflict of interest that Clarence Thomas might have in the upcoming 0bamaKare hearing in the Supreme Court because his wife is a Teabagger. These must be serious charges because the writer keeps bringing up Democrat Lawmakers and their talking points.

Nowhere in the article is a mention that the *koff* distinguished legal mind of the 0bama insider--who WORKED ON the legalities--Elana Kagen even mentioned.
As long as we're looking at possible conflict of interest and recusing themselves. Ruth Bader-Ginsburg has cancer, how will this ruling affect her care?

And what about the wise Latina whose political base- LULAC, MALDEF, LA RAZA... are all going to be telling her how to rule?

In Texas we have a saying about loyalty

It's called riding for the brand.

Which pretty much means you'll do whatever it takes to keep the cows safe. That you'll put yourself in danger and even die to protect a cow worth $1.25.

Because You gave your word to the owner that you'd give your all for a fair return when the herd got to Kansas City.

Now that the owners of HuffPo got $315 million for the content their free writers built, will those same writers keep writing for free? Will the Liberal owners of the Huffington Post think about redistributing the wealth to those who gave their time and talents to make rich people more wealthy?

Or, as is more likely- those greedy rich owners of HuffPo will continue to hoard their excessive wealth from those that deserve it.


So, will those same writers keep giving free content? Making the rich even richer just so they can get whatever honors for writing for the brand?

Watch this video

Now, this video is old-ish. But now that they're in service, everybody wants one.

It's a 25MM cannon. Plus all the battery powered sooper scoping crap hanging off of it.

Does anyone remember the reason the reason the .GOV still makes our troops carry a poodle-shooter instead of something useful?

?

?

How much ammo each Troop can carry.

Just FWIW

I'm still #1 on Google images for Chelsea Clintons nipples.

Is CNN catching any of these Iranian protests?

Because if not, then Prezident 'TEH GRIPPER' , his CIA nor his State Dept. will know that there are protesters in the Streets of Iran demanding---CHANGE.

Any bets on when the Slurpee King will call for the Mullahs to step down.
Before he demands a shift in leadership.
And then a gradual change by popular referendum.

Before Sarah Palin becomes the national focal point until this is done.

Karma

Don't you love it when it bites some of the most deserving?

Embrace it Sean, that's what you're fighting for.
A bigger, more controlling and intrusive government that doesn't care how much you contributed to it's growth.


Don't let it harsh your mellow there, Spicoli.

Ok guy, I appreciate your being there

and the training and danger you put yourself in.

BUT-

If I just wasted nine, million Dollar missiles on three abandoned trucks that you already took out with guns....and MISSED all nine times, I wouldn't have put it out for everyone to see.



Just saying,,,

You mean that's NOT Kim Kardashian's real @ss?

You're trying to tell me that there are women out there who actually want a butt so big it takes an entire roll of T.P. to finish the job?
That there are more than just a few flakes out there that want to be required to wear a back-up alarm anywhere near a construction site?

Yeah, well I'm white, hate rap, didn't grow up in the Projects and don't admire that whole gangbanger lifestyle.



Don't go in Kim!
0bama's trying to KEEP the oceans from rising!

Happy Valentines Day hunny

The Reverend sends you his love.

And to you over at GoProud, he's thinking about you today, too.

And you motor heads, he didn't forget you either.

And here's even some love for you Liberal gals out there ;-)

One more shout-out to Anne Coulter!

The Gipper, huh?

How about something more realistic?



Because I saw this and just had to share.



Because I'm nice like that.



You may want to swallow that...





Because, really quién es más macho?

That's a good expression for the 0bama toutch

The 0bama undertow.

Because what could be better to describe the reverse Midas touch TEH WON brings to everything he backs?

WOW! Now I get it, he's using his power of FAIL by backing the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Genius!

Looking at Drudge this morning

I can envision some telephone calls to the Community Organizer in Chief-

From Yemin and Algeria Asking 0bungler to keep quiet,

And the king of Saudi Arabia TELLING teh Zipper to keep his piehole closed.

To any singers out there

Who are given the honor of singing the National Anthem ...anywhere.
Whenever you decide to 'make it my own' when you go off script:

This is what YOU think it sounds like-



THIS is what everyone else hears-

There are three things to take from this video

First Conservatives DO have a sense of humor.

Second Andrew Breitbart is either a good poker player or halfway agreed with Jimmy.

Three Jimmy McMillan is a stand-up guy. He's the ONLY Republican male I've heard stand up for Sarah Palin (forward to almost the end).

Someone else just got 40 stitches

...And she's a basketball cheerleader.
Who stayed through their routine to help place 4th overall.

...And Prez Kickazz got 40* 12 stiches plying B.ball.

Did they call the game?

With all these people getting hurt in the name of basketball, maybe we need to look at regulating it?

* Sorry, I was thinking of the days he was doing his Egypt thing wandering in the desert.

BTW...Prez Kickazz...

You might want to look at Yemen.

I don't know if it's on CNN or Al Jazzira yet- so maybe the CIA and State Dept. haven't heard about it yet. They need those community organizing skills you just used in Egypt over there now.

Can anyone in the know tell me why

It's taken over two months for a basic Navy background check?
I really doubt that it's top or even sooper sekrit clearance that I need to refuel trainers at a south Texas air training command.

Has the NIS been taken over by TEH WONs Clown Posse?
Are they all busy watching CNN and Al Jazzera for foreign intelligence?

I talked to two people I had for background references yesterday and neither has been contacted yet.

I mean WTF?

I never really liked Winnie the Pooh anyway

But Piglet shouldn't have ended that way.

Are they going to turn the 100 acre woods into a Solar Array next?

How time flies

Do you realize 32 years ago we had a clueless Democrat in power who watched helplessly as protesters took over Iran and were praised for their fighting for freedom and overthrowing oppression? When our President backed the protesters against a friendly leader.

Just like Egypt today.
Because who's in charge, again?

My President shouldn't need 30 25 months on a learning curve

Ok Oprah?
"I feel that everybody has a learning curve, and I feel that the reason why I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart," the influential TV host said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in Chicago.

Of the negative mood of the country, Oprah added, “I think everybody complaining ought to try it for once.”
Except, Oprah- I 'KNOW' I'm not qualified even if I am eligible. Wanna see my birth certificate?

BUT if somehow I ended up there, we'd have actual, you know...COMPETENT people instead of political hacks appointed as a reward for breaking election laws.

The high capacity magazine

And the reason GFWs want to ban them is to keep people from shooting too fast- right?

Are we only going to ban certain styles?
Certain calibers?
Certain assemblies that we don't like?

Are we going to make sure 'assault rifles' are made so they can't shoot too fast?

If you're going under the caliber and 'assault rifle" thing, then this magazine of Nancy R. would be banned.
Because it works on an .80 cal weapon that was high tech for it's day and used in the most advanced militaries known to man, and allows for much more rapid shooting than a rifle without it.



But, if we want to be sure no one is able to fire more than one round at a time, then we'll mandate single shot pistols!
YES, that way the gunman can be taken down before he fires another shot!



Brilliant-

Except it's been thought of before...





BUT- I'm not one of those Liberals who want to control what you can shoot.
As far as I'm concerned you can make your own eebbile black rifle with double redundant multicromatic search-lasers with RCP launching gas powered piston rails....AND a bayonet lug if you want to pay for it.
Me, I'm more of a traditionalist.

It's not like it's their money or anything

So why not give huge bonuses to the managers that got you those farging HUGE taxpayer funded bailouts? These are the same people who's decisions helped run GM and Chrysler into the ground, aren't they?

The only people that had anything bad happen to them were the CEOs.
And the taxpayers.
And the stockholders who lost 70% of their personal property for a Union payback.

So why not give your managers anywhere from 12% to 50% of their yearly salary in bonuses- especially the geniuses in the advertising department that paid MORE than the going rate for their Super Bowl ad.
I'd take it too, it's not like they are really paying back the .GOV anywhere close to what they owe from profits.

I'm not even going there

WE have a billion dollar spy organization (plus the uncounted Black Ops. stuff) and they're getting their Egyptian intel from CNN?

Somebody needs to refund his entire CIA salary.

You're doin' a good job Leo!

You got that right, Tater

And if you recognize that from Ron White, you'll know this link is going to send you to an add-on you can appreciate.

Unlike this 0bama voter.

Caption it

The cookie! Save that cookie!!

It puts me in my happy place right now

Because I'm sitting in a nice warm house- and not on an exposed backhoe seven feet in the 25 degree air.

Or 35 feet above ground in a bucket truck fixing lights.

This is one of my failings

Even though I understand how devastating it is to loose part of your hand-
when I saw this clip, all I could think of was "Look, a talking raccoon."

I should feel bad, shouldn't I?
