All i can say is, Sucks to be him.

New posting site.

Just a heads up. I'm gonna move my blog to Joe bag of doughnuts in a week or 2. The only reason im going to is because the name seems to be more appropriate for the topics that I post.

I'm just a regular guy venting about things i care about.

So when i get the blog set up the way I like, then I'll let you know when i'm gonna move for good.

Good ol' Glen

I saw Michelle Malkin on the Today show this morning and then I saw that she was on Glen Beck too! She is out promoting her book Culture of Corruption and all I can say is this girl is a firecracker! When I saw her this morning she was being interviewed by Matt Lauer. He was behoved by her passion and ability to have an answer for any question that he had of her. By the look on his face he wasn't thrilled by what she was saying. I'm sure he had some words with the producer after the interview was over.

Anyway. I wanted to post the Glen Beck Interview and post a link to the today show interview to see if i could drum up a little chit chat about what you think.

Plus she is a little hottie. She can talk all she wants.



Here's a link to the today show interview.

Feds may help bring Wi-Fi to city of Columbus, Ohio

So it seems that our stimulus money has finally shown up in our wonderful city that cant afford to pay for public services. Guess what Columbus? We may get citywide Wi-Fi!

Of course we will have to pay for access. Here is a quote from the article in the Columbus Dispatch.

"We're having real good reliability," said Grant Reveal, director of Gahanna's Technology Department. Once the fiber and wireless technology was in place, using the network wasn't difficult, he said. "We're seeing a huge return on the investment."

I'm sure the HUGE return is being returned to the consumer in reduced rates.

That being said. Open your wallets! We now have something else we MUST have and CANT live without.

Who needs Police and Fire protection anyway? Oh wait. We will pay for that too.

Too bad I can't vote on it!

I hope that this isnt true.

This is one if the things that i hope doesn't happen. Must read.

Not everyone has the answers. I dont.

We just have to listen to each other and come up with the best solution.

New Jersey is About to Eliminate Handgun Sales

New Jersey is about to limit handgun purchases for dealers and individuals to 1 per month according to Attorney Evan Nappen's interpretation of the proposed legislation. As a result, once dealers sell their inventory, you will no longer be able to purchase handguns in New Jersey. The proposed legislation will have the effect of putting all gun dealers our of business and their employees will loose their jobs.

Evan has put the legislation on notice of this for over a year but the bill has not been modified to correct for this oversight. Some believe it is an oversight, others believe that it is intentional.

This bill seems to violate the commerce clause and the Heller decision by the Supreme Court last year. If passed it will undoubtedly be challenged on a constitutional basis.

More health care data

If this is true then i think that our congressmen should vote it down.

Boogy man!

This is amazing!

I'm not taking any credit!

I've been reading Pete's posts for a while and even though he is an AK loving blogger (coming to the AR dark side) dont let it discourage you from reading his posts. He seems to have his ducks in a row. Especially on this one.....

http://hueysgunsight.blogspot.com/2009/07/thune-vitter-ccw-act-did-not-pass.html

Of course, I was getting ready to post the same information, but since he beat me to the punch i'll just let him take the credit!!!!

OK....I wasnt......But it sure sounded good!

So many ?'s

3 boxes of BS had a very good post that i wanted to pass on in case you dont get to read his stuff. Very well put.

Easy to understand standardized health care.

Please click on the picture for the easy to understand conceptual diagram the Democrats in Congress and Whitehouse have for your new health care plan. This explains everything. I never realized how simple it was!

Taxes

In 1775 the average tax burdon was under 3% of income and we went to war.

Bend over...change is coming!

AMA Input on Goverment Health Care

Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on the new economic
stimulus package and the idea of socialized medicine plus Medicare reform....

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to
make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the
Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians
said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the
Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic
Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were
pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the
Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to
the assholes in Washington!

Bike Helmets.....YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!

So...I heard the funniest thing on the radio today. It seems that our elected politicians have passed legislation mandating that our kids wear bike helmets.

Not only have they found time to pass a RIDICULOUS LAW , apparently the Columbus Fire Department is going to be GIVING AWAY FREE BIKE HELMETS!!!!WOO FREAKIN HOOO!!!

Last time I checked.... Columbus has a special election issue on the ballet this quarter asking for an income tax increase so that they can pay the Firefighters AND Police Officers! So answer me this..... Why are we giving away bike helmets all the while wasting time AND taxpayer money on frivolous legislation, when we can't even seem to pay our own Civil Service Workers? Not only that, but there are PLENTY of people who work in Columbus, but do not live in Franklin County.

Seeing how they don't live there, they don't even have the opportunity to vote on the matter! I guess the little man doesn't have a voice anymore. Even if they contribute to the local economy. Who cares right?

Doesn't anyone that we elect have any common sense about them? Or is it all about them? I can't help but feel that,sadly enough, it is the latter. They all need to be fired.

Any comments are welcome. I'm always looking for a different point of view.

My Collection

Here is a few pics of my collection. It is still a work in progress, but then again what isn't!

Here is my Taurus PT-845



Here is my Beretta 92FS Onix



My Ruger GP100 revolver



These are (From top to bottom)
Franchi I-12 Diamond Semi-auto 12ga. Shotgun
1943 Russian SKS
1942 German Kar98k 8mm
Smith & Wesson M&P 15 W/ Magpul BUS, CQC stock, Vortex StrikeFire red dot(not in pic),and UTG quad rail w/ vertical grip...Yes I went cheap on the quad-rail. I couldn't bring myself to spend buckets of money and a rail system.

Below that on the left is an OLD Iver Johnson .32 top break and to the right is a Harrington and Richardson .22 top break revolver.




my 1944 Mosin Nagant M-44



And last but not least this is the gun that started the whole obsession with firearms, the first one i ever bought, my Benelli Nova 12ga.pump shotgun.




There are more to come too. I wouldn't mind getting a bullpup type gun. Also an AK is in order but the prices have to come down. I'm sure the Taliban doesnt pay $500+ for an AK. Besides I need to learn about the different variants of AK before I decide!

Seems like a good idea!

Maybe we should get rid of them all...Every one of them!!!!












I cant beleive that this is what it is coming to. I got this from http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/

Too funny and to true.

I have been tooling around on YouTube and I came across this video. There is allot of stuff out there about gun control and Obama. Its really hard to know what to believe any more. Everyone has their own agenda. The right and the left. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MIDDLE?

Bullpup SKS

I saw this on one of the blogs I follow, but I cant recall which one. I may entertain getting one of these for a few reasons.

I have an SKS and I have noticed that it is really heavy in the front. If it was a bullpup design it would bring that front weight closer to the body making it more comfortable.

Another reason is you can attach a scope on a regular SKS but it has to be put on the rear bolt cover. So when you clean it you have to remove the scope. I never checked to see if it held zero but I imagine if you take that cover off, the cover wont reinstall in the exact spot you zeroed it to. So the accessory rail on the bullpup furniture would be helpful in that regard.

The last reason it because i would really like to have a bullpup firearm but i don't want to plunk down $2000+ to get one.

Here's a video of the Bullpup SKS operated by a dork who thinks that a fabric screen will offer some kind of protection. I love how they show him running to the screen a few time at different camera angles as if hes in the middle of the shit. LOOK OUT HE'S GONNA GIT YA!







Although a Steyr AUG would be cool as hell to have too!! Please pardon the narration. I dont know what the hell he is saying but the video is nice! It also sounds kinda cool. "Bla bla bla bla Steyr AUSHEE"

Rules

I got this off a blog called "Bring the Heat, Bring the Stupid"

Good read....

Rules of Combat
We’ve seen a lot of discussion the last few years about the law of war, but not a lot about the rules of war. Well, here you go:

61. Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down, never stay awake when you can sleep.
