I haven’t had much interest in writing lately but every now and then the urge hits me – this is one of those times. I recently came a across an advice column written by Amy Dickinson that I simply can’t not comment on. What caught my eye was this letter and reply on firearms: Dear […]

Self-Defense Tip: Don’t Try to Rob a Gas Station Staffed By a 5-time MMA Champion
It’s tough being a criminal, especially when like this team of would-be thieves in Houston, Texas, you pick the wrong target. It turns out the clerk at this gas station, Mayura Dissanyake, is not just a convenience store clerk — he’s also an accomplished MMA fighter. Mr. Dissanyake, a five time national champion in his native […]
Florida “Warning Shot” Bill Violates The Basic Rules of Firearm Safety… And Physics
I’ve seen politicians propose all sorts of well-intentioned but ill-conceived legislation. Florida’s CS/HB 89 “Threatened Use of Force” bill is a prime example: The Florida legislature is considering expanding the state’s “stand your ground” law to encompass “threatened use of force.” Specifically, the bill is intended to shield those who brandish a gun or fire a […]
Alan Grayson: Toxic Idiot
I haven’t been paying close attention to politics recently so I was a little surprised when an old post about Florida Congressman Alan Grayson started receiving a lot views recently. It got me wondering what he’d done now… What he’s done is completely jumped the credibility shark. Rep. Grayson has always been a bombastic idiot […]
Ms. Magazine Pulls Plug on ‘My Month with A Gun’ Blog
Ms. Magazine editor Michele Kort has apparently decided to pull the plug on Heidi Yewman’s three part ‘My Month with A Gun’ blog because “gun blogs” had discovered series and were highly critical of Ms. Yewman’s actions: “So, Heidi,” began the email to Heidi Yewman from Michele Kort, her editor at Ms. Magazine. “I wanted […]
Ms. Magazine Mocks Gun Owners with ‘My Month with A Gun’ Blog
I’ve been enjoying a blogging hiatus, but when I spotted this link to Heidi Yewman’s Ms. Magazine Blog series titled ‘My Month with A Gun’, I decided to interrupt my hiatus and weigh in with my two cents. Ms. Yewman is a career anti-gun activist, from Vancouver, WA, she’s doesn’t like guns or people owning […]
Stuck on Stupid: Belleville Cops Booted From Denny’s For… Carrying Their Guns
Just when I think I’ve seen or heard it all, someone, somewhere finds a way to take stupid to whole new level… Consider for a moment the manager of a Denny’s restaurant in Belleville, Illinois who asked five plain clothes police officers to either lock their weapons in their cars or leave the restaurant after another […]
Mila Kunis: Idiot — Part Deux
It’s a good thing Esquire Magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive, Mila Kunis, can get by on her looks because she clearly not a deep thinker: In her interview with Esquire‘s Ross McCammon, Mila doesn’t talk about dating — Ashton Kutcher’s name doesn’t come up. But she doesn’t shy away from getting political. “The way that Republicans […]
Bill O’Reilly: Pinhead
Yeah, I said it, and I mean it… Bill O’Reilly is a pinhead. I’m a little late getting to this, but I can’t let this ill-informed rant by Mr. O’Reilly pass without comment. Look I’m not a Bill O’Reilly fan, I think he’s the worst kind of self-important, self-righteous, populist bully and, as this video […]
Mila Kunis: Idiot
Yeah, I said it, and I meant it… Mila Kunis is an idiot. What else do you call someone who thinks it’s cool to vandalize public property in support of — wait for it — Barack Obama: On expressing her politics through art… Glamour: Do you fund-raise for Obama? Mila Kunis: More like street-art-based stuff in Los […]
Emily Finally Almost Gets Her Gun
I’ve been following the trails and travails of Washington Times Senior Opinion Page Editor Emily Miller over past several months as she’s navigated her way through Washington D.C.’s ridiculously complex guns laws. Ms. Miller decided to buy a gun after she was the victim of a home invasion while dog and house sitting for friends […]
Ron Paul: Killing Of Anwar Al-Awlaki An Impeachable Offense, a Step Toward “Tyranny”…
I want to like Ron Paul, he makes a lot sense when he talks about monetary policy and the need for greater transparency and oversight of the Federal Reserve, but he loses me when he starts talking about foreign policy and says things like this: Ron Paul said Monday that President Barack Obama’s targeted killing […]
Dear Yahoo; Your Fired
I have used and recommended Yahoo Mail to family, friends and clients for the better part of a decade; unfortunately over the past few months Yahoo Mail has become completely unusable. Starting in late June, I started receiving intermittent authentication errors when I tried to retrieve my e-mail using your POP3 server. These authentication errors […]
Not Again: Sexting Scandal Claims New Jersey Politician
What the hell is wrong with middle-aged male politicians: New Jersey democrat Louis Magazzu, 53, admitted sending the photos to the woman he said he had been corresponding with online for several years. He claims she requested the pictures but was working with an ‘avowed political enemy’ at the time and that he did not […]
