— Maetenloch Hey it's a fresh new week. So we have that going for us.
NRA Ratings by Congressional District
For the most part they're about what you'd expect but it is interesting how nearly every Southern states has at least a few districts with NRA F-rated congressmen while the west has most of the full-state A-ratings.
Also Piers Morgan Exposes Dana Loesch's Lack of Gun Knowledge by Just Making up Models, Calibers
. @piersmorgan And again, I must correct you. .223, not .233.
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 12, 2013
@DLoesch No, he used a Bushmaster .233 AR-15 assault rifle - and killed 26 people in a few minutes. That not enough for you?-
Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
@DLoesch I haven't misused any terminology - are you questioning the fact Lanza used an assault rifle?-
Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 12, 2013
. @piersmorgan You're claiming that guns in these shootings had selective fire, auto capability? Is this new, unreported information?-

PJ O'Rourke on the Stingy Worldview of the Left
Even happiness is zero-sum:
There is a fixed amount of good things. Life is a pizza. If some people have too many slices, other people have to eat the pizza box. You had no answer to Mitt Romney's argument for more pizza parlors baking more pizzas. The solution to our problems, you said, is redistribution of the pizzas we've got-with low-cost, government-subsidized pepperoni somehow materializing as the result of higher taxes on pizza-parlor owners.In this zero-sum universe there is only so much happiness. The idea is that if we wipe the smile off the faces of people with prosperous businesses and successful careers, that will make the rest of us grin.
There is only so much money. The people who have money are hogging it. The way for the rest of us to get money is to turn the hogs into bacon.
Mr. President, your entire campaign platform was redistribution. Take from the rich and give to the . . . Well, actually, you didn't mention the poor. What you talked and talked about was the middle class, something most well-off Americans consider themselves to be members of. So your plan is to take from the more rich and the more or less rich and give to the less rich, more or less. It is as if Robin Hood stole treasure from the Sheriff of Nottingham and bestowed it on the Deputy Sheriff.
Royal Navy vs. Japanese Navy Fun Fact of the Day
The Japanese navy boasts roughly four times as many major warships as the British Royal Navy.
If We Could Preserve Only One Sentence
"Richard Feynman was once asked what he would pass on if the whole edifice of modern scientific knowledge had been lost, and all he could give to posterity was a single sentence. What axiom would convey the maximum amount of scientific information in the fewest possible words? His candidate was 'all things are made of atoms.' In a similar spirit, if the whole ramshackle structure of contemporary macroeconomics vanished into thin air and the field had to be reconstructed from scratch, the sentence which packs as much of the discipline into the fewest possible words might be 'governments are not households.' "
Tyler Cowan also suggests other forms such as "In the short run, governments are not households." or "Today is a long run from some time back.".
Mad Jack: The Only Soldier in WWII To Kill the Enemy With a Bow and Arrow
After coming face to face with Lieutenant Colonel John Churchill, the Germans probably had a similar, if less affectionate, moniker for the eccentric officer.Rather than wield a sub-machine gun in battle, the commando leader inspired his comrades by storming beaches armed with a bow and arrow and two-handed sword, dressed in a kilt and playing a set of bagpipes.
He enhanced his reputation by capturing 42 German prisoners with only his broadsword and later escaping from one of the most daunting Nazi jails before the end of the war.
The colourful officer's bravery - he is the only soldier in the war credited with killing enemy troops with arrows - earned him a chestful of gallantry medals, including two Distinguished Service Orders and a Military Cross.
The Ins and Outs of Fluid Coupling
You'd expect it to be completely boring yet this 1954 Department of Defense film is surprisingly mesmerizing.
Court Overturns Rape Conviction Because 1872 Law Says Unmarried Women Can't Get Raped
Well at least not rape-raped via impostering:
An 18-year-old woman who was raped by her brother's friend, who pretended to be the victim's own boyfriend, has had her rape conviction overturned by a California appeals court because of a 1872 law that says unmarried women are not legally protected from sexual assault by "impostors."

The room was full to overflowing for the orientation session to get my range card. 62 attendees just in that session, and it was the second session of the day with as many attendees. As many women as men, and lots of couples.
The instructor seemed shocked, and VERY pleased at the large crowd. Ahhh, like-minded people.

Gritz' huge claimed array of military awards has been drawn into question. A memo regarding his awards and award recommendations during his time in Vietnam seems to indicate that Gritz was personally involved with the recommendation of some of his medals, including the Legion of Merit, and that some of his awards recommendations cited the same missions and incidents, effectively awarding Gritz multiple medals for the same missions, including the Legion of Merit, Air Medal, Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Army Commendation Medal
Didn't the left spend 2004 telling us that this never happened, and if you question someone's medals you are an American hating racist?

Not your fault. Europe has been living under everyone else's protective umbrella for so long, they think they don't have to do anything. Canada carries more of its weight than the rest of the European members of NATO.
One of my Canadian friends used to joke that Canada's navy just consisted of ships that brought beer to the US Navy ships, and Canada's navy is almost as powerful as Britain's. Very sad.

They say 112th was a bad congress because of the lack of laws passed. I would say that is a good thing. The less congress does the better. It is the regulators that one need worry about. one page of law is 80 new regulations. Sure they can't ban guns and bullets but they can ban gun oil and other lubricants under the EPA regulation. They could ban by federal law all outdoor gun ranges under the endangered species act and noise affects some bird.

Goodell will probably try to ban cheerleaders soon. Or try to bring in male cheerleaders to be more "inclusive".
But you can bet your bottom dollar that he will bring Ray Lewis into the NFL offices.

They say 112th was a bad congress because of the lack of laws passed. I would say that is a good thing. The less congress does the better. It is the regulators that one need worry about. one page of law is 80 new regulations. Sure they can't ban guns and bullets but they can ban gun oil and other lubricants under the EPA regulation. They could ban by federal law all outdoor gun ranges under the endangered species act and noise affects some bird.

It should have been in the original constitution that each year, congress could pass 1000 pages of legislation......less 2 pages per year elapsed from the founding. It's not like there is anything new about human nature every year, and all the better laws should have been passed already -- so anything beyond the limit is likely dreck, anyway.

Get the utility companies to come out and mark where they have buried their lines to your house, then bury the object very close to the gas line. Make sure you explain to the govt types that you want to move your family to a safe distance before they start digging up your gas line. They will make sure that they don't dig too near it.

The good news is if the receivers are really available you can still build one under a grand...
the bad news is not for long I'd wager.
Sven's "cheap" AR build for the new year....
http://www.carricozarmory.com/lowers.htm
This site allegedly has stripped lowers in the 119-170 dollar range.
If in stock and you want an AR grab one now.
The price is about 499 with the wholesalers for one right now and will likely climb there before receding but I suspect AR lowers will never be below 75 bucks again.
Simplest way to "have" an AR was to go to DPMS and buy a kit and put it on your all laws complied with lower BUT DPMS is quite literally out of kits.
R guns still has them here if interested in alakamagig "boom" I have an AR....
http://www.rguns.net/gunparts/rifle-parts-AR-partskits.shtml
Price Range is now 60 bucks for just the lower receiver parts and no stock(if you want to get a special type of stock the way to go...
to 590 for a 16" M4 carbine layout with carrying handle add on for the flattop.
I am not pushing RGuns either I have done business with them, but in the end they seem the least inclined to start profiting from the panic beyond sanity.
So the minimum cost to build an Ar15A4 like I built is
119
590
and what a gunsmith charges to assemble it and break in the bore....
709 so if you act quick you can beat a lot of the panic still.
I prefer building a lower to my PRECISE desires which can cost more and then shopping for the complete upper I prefer.
If you are in the mood for that you can use this
http://tinyurl.com/3hua6ch
and shop for the precise upper build you'd prefer.
I went with a 445 dollar 1/9 twist base A3 20" upper on my last rifle.
It has gone up from the 385 I paid for it last month and will likely keep climbing in the near term.
Stay within your budget, do not fail to follow ALL applicable laws and practice good range safety.
Happy shooting.

There is a reason why the awards shows are shown in January, it used to be the "dead period" of television.

You people have got to watch that just for fun. Watching it drunk would be best. It was like watching a high school senior in a school play. The speed of her speaking the lines, and sometimes the phrasing, and accentuating of words, was just odd. Whoever directed that should be taken out and shot.
You'd have more sympathy if you'd read the sidebar piece about one director's travails after he cast her in his movie. Sounds as though if you can get her to show up on time, sober and not hung over, you've accomplished something. If she were not hot, she would be in a gutter somewhere. And she is getting less hot by the day, presumably because of her habits.

I give him some credit, for sure. He had brains and was groping for a kind of integrity. In the video, he was very forthright about how the evil he was combatting came from one of the top Democrats, and how the Republicans bailed first. But for me part of the tragedy is that he never learned to talk like a man, just in that hipster voice that I heard so much during the Occupy days.

underemployment by my former professional standards, keeping 5 threads open at once, being able to read red Storm rising in volume in an evening.
Mostly from not sleeping.
It got pretty bad this year around election time.
We found out we are going to be moving this fall so I had to readjust some of my work plans, and reduce my stick time to have more time to get the boy to focus on his education.
He is a bright kid in reading comprehension, and anime studies.
Sadly like my favorite OW$ punching bag I don't think there is a lot of career opportunity in anime studies.
He also wants to learn either carpentry or diesel mechanics.
If he is to go to Vocational tech wherever wife is stationed it is vital he be on grade level in math so he can focus on his trade.
Thus if I skip a little housework(far too easy), work a few fewer days(which drives me up the wall), and skip the two a days on the treadmill9sadly a necessity the last three months with the cyst I am fighting in my back) I have far too much time to post inanity.

This. I know people who voted for Obama who are not particularly liberal. They're not members of FSA either. They're apolitical and get what little information they have from the nightly news - and like you said, according to the media Obama's doing great - and he really, really cares about the average person!
And those are the same people who do give a crap about who wins Golden Globes. They probably can't tell you what the 1st or 2nd Amendments are, but they can tell you the names of everyone Brad Pitt ever dated...In a way, they're scarier than the hard-core libtards...

Titanic sucked. It didn't just suck like "damn, that sucked". That movie was epic in its suckiness. Stuff that sucks thought Titanic sucked. Kate Winslets marvelous rack could not save the pure suck that Titanic was. Finally, Titanic was the suckiest movie to ever suck. Posted by: puddleglum at January 13, 2013 11:45 PM (7dOq6)
This is the finest movie review of "Titanic" that I ever read, although I think puddlegum underemphasizes the cosmic suckiness of the suck.

Thanks I am going to ask here and around the mechanics I know from my logistics work about what if any enrichment classes I can try to get him in in Jr High.
I wish we were going back to fort polk because my boss there would love to teach him.
I have reduced my career focus a lot the last decade, and I wonder if me at 25 when I was a contract hazmat guy gone a LOT would believe it, on the other hand I know that I have given my all to trying to guide my son better than I was guided and allowed my wife to focus on her military career without "spouse drama" compared to a lot of her peers.
I don't know what the answers are..

I once worked with a stunningly beautiful Greek girl. She was quite likable and pleasant too, which is not always a given when it comes to stunningly beautiful women. She was from Florida - Naples, if I remember correctly. Her dad was a commercial fisherman. Apparently quite a few Greeks emigrated to Florida and were involved in commerical fishing there.
That was news to me - just as it was news to met a half-Portugese (sp?), half-Irish guy from Worchester MA and find out that that is a fairly common combination in eastern Mass. Of course I knew about the Irish, the Portugese, no.

Al-NYT is simply rerunning their 1930s playbook.
Their ability to do so is arguably my and conservatives like me fault.
I was almost done with a history education degree when i looked at the politicization of history by Billy Ayers, looked at the NEA, looked at the kids and decided I'd rather slam hazmat cocktails down my gullet than teach.
I surrendered the battlefield when I probably had a duty to go be cannon fodder.
I know several right leaning peers who quit....
they ran us off....I have crawled under machine gun fire on an infiltration course, gotten up from being hit by a forklift and finished my shift after a 15 minute nurse break and done a few other brave things....
I am also cowardly enough or weak enough i grasped that Bill Ayers was probably gonna win on setting History narrative and that i was probably heading for an asylum if I had to teach three weeks of "Transgender Acquatic basket Weaving's Impact on the US founding" and two days of the Founding.
An exaggeration, but barely.

God that sucks. I was in Lamar Smith's A rating district last time, and now I'm in Lloyd Dogget's F rated district. I can see Austin from where I am but I'm not in it. I'm even in a different county than Austin. I was robbed.
On the plus side, I got to try out the M2 at the farm today with my son. We were using it to clear cedar ( well the less than a few inch diameter ones anyway) LOTs of fun. I HATE cedar. He got to shoot his EBR for the first time as well. Big smiles were had by all. Farm is in an A rated district, I think I'll move there soon.

A bigger house is supposed to have kid noise in it.
He's 13 and a 7th grader..."we'll see" WyoTech is nice but since he will likely be chasing his mother chasing the green machine I am thinking it'll be Texas, Louisiana, or some other southern point....

I am sincere in encouraging EVERYONE to follow the law to the letter and I mean local, and state as well.
Arguably from an ethical standpoint I am more serious about following local law than federal.

Follow it all but be friendly to your local politicians on the matter because in the end they are the ones who if things go wrong will have some measure of power.

"Not cause of gambling, just general dickery."
Ty Cobb was a huge dick - and he's normally ranked among one of the top 5 players of all time. It would be nice if there was a correlation between talent and decency - but there isn't, not in any field.
I used to work with a cardiologist I absolutely hated. Arrogant bastard, got into trouble a couple of times for sexually harassing nurses. I couldn't stand the guy - but if my ticker gave out, he was the guy I wanted them to call. He was a complete SOB, but he was the best cardiologist on staff by a long shot.

If they're really upgrading the interior from rental care grade to something fitting for the price range, that would be welcome.
I'll wait to see how it tests on Top Gear before speculating any further. Clarkson and Hammond both like the Corvette in spite of it's flimsiness because it's "good cheap fun". If they're trying to compete with the supercars, Clarkson especially will pronounce it to be "pretentious rubbish".
50 grand to over 100 grand leaves a lot of leeway with options. The 50K version would be a lesser engine with the rental car interiors I would imagine, the better quality would be for those laying out the Lamborghini money.

By the bye, I've been reading about the HOF shut out this year, and I've been really irritated because people keep pointing out Cobb was a *gasp* racist. The worst thing about Cobb was not that he held racial views that were very common in the early part of the 20th century, it's that he treated lots of people - black and white - like crap. He wasn't just a dick to blacks, or to fellow ballplayers, but to fans and waitresses and clerks - to lots of people. As Florence King pointed out, Cobb was the Southern antithesis to the Good Ole Boy. He was a Mean Ole Boy - and his meanness was Equal Opportunity Meanness.
But, according to sportswriters and commentators now, the reason Cobb was awful is because he wasn't enlightened on racial matters like they are. I am not only po'ed at people who see racism everywhere, I'm annoyed by people who seem to think it is The Only, And The Biggest, Sin anyone can commit.

Larkin's tolerance for that nutty old bag was done when umpire John McSherry had a heart attack on the field and died on the way to the hospital. Schott wanted the game to resume even though the players and ump crew were both very shaken up. Larkin particularly said he couldn't go back on the field in good conscience

"But also, in my experience, people who are aggressively racist, throwing around the n word in a mean manner, are nasty in general."
Well, yeah, that was my point about Ty Cobb - he was generally mean to EVERYONE, not just black people. When he stole bases, he'd purposely slide in feet first and aim his spikes at the legs of the infielders, trying to draw blood.
IMO, a definite HOFer and a great player, but when he died, only 3 baseball people bothered to show up at his funeral.

In most states you can't collect funemployment if you quit. Make them fire you.

Europeans and Brits still have a high percentage of manual gearboxes in their cars. If you're going to spend a lot of time in LA type traffic, stick with the automatic transmission. If you're going to take it out on the mountain roads, stick shift is the only way to go.
I used to think that traction control was for wusses, but a few have told me that with the power some of these higher end sedans put out, ESC keeps the car from killing you.

A kid down the street got a BMW M3 for his birthday a few years ago, and he came over to ask me if I could teach him how to drive a stick. Could not believe he was given a car he couldn't drive, but last year he got into big trouble. His dad died a couple of years ago, and he would come up here during breaks in school and get drunk with his "boys". One night at 3am, they decided our neighborhood would make a nice place to have a drag strip. MrsC was not amused and almost made me call the police, but she decided not to. A little while later we noticed some flashing lights, and lo and behold, the cops had busted him. He blew a .18, and got a free night in the Greybar Hotel. Needless to say, his mother made him sell his dad's house (they were divorced) and go back to school.
If cars keep going towards electric motors and the other stuff they have now, when the zombie apocalypse happens, all the manual transmission vehicles will be ripe for the picking for all of us who learned how to drive them.
As Jeremy Clarkson shows in this video, driving a manual transmission can be hard.

I saw on the American Thinker that a writer has taken up or used or come up with on his own what I had stated here on Friday. Let's organize the
MILLION MAGAZINE MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!
Thousands of us deposit one 30 round magazine each at the Washington Monument and tell DC to go fuck themselves. If it's good enough for David Gregory it's good enough for us!!!
Would anyone on here be willing to do that??

Thanks for reminding me of that. I forgot about that, and I forgot about her firing all of the team's scouts because "all they did was sit around and watch baseball". That is the reason why from 1990 until the last couple of years, the Reds have been at the bottom of the standings.
But that fucking St. Bernard of hers was front and center.

To be more clear, if fired "for cause" or quit, no funemployment. If laid-off due to lack of work, two years.

Yeah, I don't like steroids one bit, but journalists getting on a moral high horse, that's a bit rich. As for some era when baseball was "pure" - really, when would that be? I love Hank Aaron. If you ever saw the man interviewed, he's the epitome of class. And yet, old Hammerin' Hank has admitted to popping uppers back in the day. "Greenies" were used in the '60's and '70's (I would imagine players used uppers to get through a 162 game season as much as for any edge on the field. From April through September they're spending a lot of time hopping planes and living out of suitcases.) In the '80's, a lot of coke was used.
Was baseball purer in the days when spitballs were legal and corked bats were common?
I love baseball (it's heresy for a cheesehead but I love it more than any other sport) , but the idea that once upon a time it was pure and baseball players were noble, instead of guys who would take advantage of anything that would give them a competitive edge, is a pretty shaky one.

Ha! And didn't she have a Schnauzer at some point? I remember Rollie Fingers passed on an lucrative opportunity to play for Cinni because Schott had a rule that all her players be clean-shaven and Fingers couldn't bear to part with his handlebar mustache. He said he would shave his mustache if Marge Schott shaved her Schnauzer. Of course, Rollie might not have been referring to her dog.

I did get to see the old hag walking around with her dogs once. I was in marching band in high school and we did the opening day parade in 1998 I believe and she came through the area the bands were warming up with her dog or dogs. Can't remember if she had one or two there.

At my college's Homecoming this past fall, MrsC and I were walking around with one of my friends who now works at the school. We were talking about all the construction that happened in the last 10 years, especially to the athletic facilities. We then walked by "Ty Cobb Ballpark". I was kind of confused and asked WTF Ty Cobb ever had to do with Hampden-Sydney, the guy laughed and said "nothing", his granddaughter donated the money to build the stadium and that is what she wanted it called.

It doesn't cost much to register a domain name and have it hosted somewhere for mail. I have a very rare last name, so it was easy to come up with a domain choice and my main email address is my first name @ my last name dot com.
Most people can't get that but the cost for having my stuff that isn't tied to the wire connecting my house is only about a $100 a year.

Cobb was a SOB - but no dumb jock. He did product endorsements for Coca-Cola back in the early 1900's and ended up owning an awful lot of stock in the company. So he was a very rich man when he died - at a time when baseball players didn't make the fortunes they do today. I would imagine that his grandkids have benefited from the old bastard's financial savvy.

Strangely not that bad outside. I wore shorts this afternoon when I took a bunch of recycling over to the local supermarket, then made a Costco run. I do it as much to annoy people as for my own comfort.
I still have to keep the vent to my room closed so as to not be roasted by the level the mother and sister keep the heating at. I suspect they're becoming lizards in their old age.

Get fired, don't quit. Even if they fire you for cause, they will have to have their ducks in order to keep you from collecting funemployment.
At a fundamental level, the state UE agent will be on the employee's side. So if the company doesn't have documented proof that they gave you an employee manual, that said manual has clear guidelines on how they go about separating poor employees, and then have a steady written set of escalating steps they took to get you back into conformance, then...you win and get to collect UE.

Ok, I suppose. I didn't see much of it because I was so wiped when I got a day off from work I had no energy to look at much of the show floor beyond the Sands CC. I never got to the LVCC until Friday when we had to pull our equipment out of the Lenovo tent before headed home. I didn't learn about the new 10 Gbps speed for USB 3.0 until today, for example.

I cashed the funemployment checks while I tried to figure an honorable way forward. I could pay protection to the Chicago mafia, go with the Green program that violates the laws of physics, register with the IRS to betray my clients' interests, or prostitute myself to say that crap was gold in finance.
Oddly enough, I haven't seen much opportunity of late.
