Canadians will be able to freely heat up some gun barrels, now that the long gun registry is coming to an end. And a smidgen of common sense breaks out north of the border:
“It does nothing to help put an end to gun crimes, nor has it saved one Canadian life,” he said.
An electric cigarette blows up in a man’s mouth. The things that happen when you try to do the right thing…and here’s what can happen when you don’t.
Nothing like greasy sausage to make the best-smelling fire needing extinguishing. Pass the sauce! I just hope that smoke didn’t get in their eyes. As long as they weren’t near any lightning, and kept away from the the smokestack.
Maybe the firemen trained here. Or, if they’re really smart, they’ll train here. GIG ‘EM!
But these young men are getting a head start on their training.
Of course, if you do catch yourself near a fire and need to get help, you could always do this.
Happy Birthday, Super Dave!
Happy Birfday SD! No bloggin and drivin’- you might drop your beer.
Let’s all call in a few fire alarms in Looooooooooooosiana so SD can make ‘birthday good travel time’ on I-10
Mannnnnnnnnny HAPPY Returns SD!
Happy Birfday, Super Dave! My gift to you is to not sing. Trust me, it’s a great gift. I hope your day is extra-special! (((HUGS)))
Happy Birfday, Davey me Lad! Aaaaarrrgghhhhhh!
How come it be that others did know t’were your birfday?

Happy BarfDay SD: Catch a lot of fish whilst yer at the old place.. . . . . . .and no certificates of appreciation from the guys in cars with flashy lights.
Howdy ST: Long time no read from.
There are several angles I could take on this story:
1) The good news is that those who see the lies in the gov’t position are fighting back
2) The hard slant by AP against those who think the whole MMGW is the crap that it is.
3) This is prima facie evidence that the Dept of Energy needs to be scrapped:
4) The fingerprints of the lefty, nanny statist, moonbat, T-Ns are all over the whole MMGW idea. Follow the money and find the real culprits.
Good morning Hamsters. Missed the rain yesterday so some of the squish has gone out of the ground, but that won’t last long if today’s forecast is accurate. Light mist and 57 at 6 but nothing more so far. Wait and see.
Happy Birthday Super Dave and many more. Safe trip to the homestead and back. You’re not getting older, just better and wiser.
G’Morning All
Happy B’Day, Super Dave.
Haven’t been here for a few days. I’ve kinda been down in the dumps. We’ve lost two old farts in the last week. One from cancer a few days ago and going to the funeral of the other one today at 2:00. I’m not depressed, just doing the normal grieving and relieving process. Got a big boost yesterday, tho. Grandson Robert had his 10th B’Day. His requests were to have his party at our house and Grandpa cook the supper and Grandma do the cake. A god time was had by all.
Word for the day:
hy·poc·ri·sy
[hi-pok-ruh-see] noun, plural -sies.
Def.: 1. Armed men guarded Media Matters boss as he took $400,000 gun control donation
The recent revelation that the head of Media Matters walked the streets of Washington with a Glock-toting personal assistant acting as a bodyguard may make it a little awkward for the group the next time it seeks a donation from a gun control advocacy group.

It’s an unavoidable slippery slope.

ST somehow knows when everyone’s birthday is — I think she has high-level access to all our dossiers.
Next Wednesday is George Washington’s birthday .
He’s the only president who didn’t blame the problems of the country on the previous administration.

Seems easily avoidable to me, but then I ain’t Russian and I ain’t into tats.
This one is for SD: Alabama Bound.
Happy Birfday, Dave! You made another one!
#15 OTL: I think I posted that link last week. Still, they are so cute it makes me want to bite them.
Banner pic on Drudge is really scary, on lots of levels. In the left column is this story

I almost made TBO’s losing backing today’s story, but I decided for something lighter. It’s a Friday, and I’m tired.
PS: I didn’t sleep much last night. I’m waiting to see how long I can function today.
#22 Homer: From the comments section of your linkie:
He left out the C130 cargo plane that also goes with POTUS. That plane carries at least 2 “beasts” aka the presidential limo plus several communications and defensive vehicles that always accompany the presidential motorcade. One could sit with a big bag of $100 bills in his lap and throw them out the window one at a time and not be able to keep up with just the fuel consumption of the POTUS when he is in the air.
#24 TT: The dingbat that is withholding funding is wissed because he is not radical enough?!? Ifn he goes all the way, just who is gonna buy her crappy clothing?
I’ll continue the revolt and post On the wrong thread this fine old song from my past.
If anyone would like to burn me a copy of the album I’d make it worth their while.
Interesting take.
Is is about liberty, and not culture??
I actually get to have lunch with Hubby today! This is exciting – I rarely get to see him during the day.
#28 Shannon
Thought-provoking post. You & your brother point me toward such interesting discussions. Thank you both.

We’re always glad to be of service. (<;
Hey, there’s that sideways wink! 8>)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm–
Which is the main thing E Types have never understood about SoCons, and the reason they can never figure out a way to defend them against the attacks of the Left. They see the issues the same way the left does, never as Liberty issues. Liberty wins every time. I recommend they try it sometime—it might actually help them win elections.
Indeed.
It’s not uncommon for pet cats to want to whiff your breath when you’ve used mouthwash or had a mint. My brown tabby goes nutzoid over the scent of a wintergreen mint. I just had one after my lunch and here’s Tyler whiffing me, rolling on the keyboard, nipping at my sleeve cuff, and in general acting like he’s on catnip. He’s a good companion. He’s the one that might not have had such a good outcome, since no one else spoke for him, and we had planned to take only 2 kittens. But we didn’t want to leave one behind to an uncertain future, so took all three of the little brothers.

David Steinberg is the New York editor of PJMedia. His column today is a rather fresh take on the Republican presidential primaries.
On Drudge:
What part of “beggers can’t be choosers” don’t these PIGS countries get? Your bailouts are paid for by people who work longer and harder than you do.
I guess it’s time to fess up and admit my real name is David Steinberg.
Those were SD birthday songs specifically put here because he doesn’t go to the music threads.
Sarge – send me your company info and I’ll forward it to my contractor.
What is the goal?
Putting roofs on houses?
Heh
rutro—————–did Sarge find Bob’s stash?
Target can predict you’re pregnant before you even tell anyone.
What, exactly, does he need?
To be clear:
My offer of the other day is limited only to my personal services to folks on the couch.
The folks I work for might be interested in branching out if that’s what he’s interested in, but I should talk to the boss first. I need to know what to tell him.
Have him contact Chris cox at 281-550-3933 Ext 1#. The company name is Stor-Con. Have him say its about Residential Roof Detailing.
Sounds like you’re involved in carefully washing, then waxing house roofs.
Sorry. Guess I misunderstood. I thought your company installed residential standing seam metal roofs.
I’m stomping off to the music thread.
We detail structural steel and pre-engineered metal buildings of all sizes and descriptions. Part of that (my part) is detailing the sheeting and trim. We are the preferred outside detailing service for NCI Inc, one of the largest metal building companies in the world. We work exclusively on thier most complicated and time sensitive projects. We also have a couple of other clients that are in the traditional structural steel industry, mostly low rise office and institutional buildings. I talked to the boss and he tells me that we have done some Residential Roofing in the past. They are generally considered here as small scale projects compared to what we normally do and would represent an additional revenue stream, so he’d at least welcom the call. We are an AISC Certified detailing company with an average experience level exceeding 15 years per detailer. We also have an engineer whom we will use on occasion, but we are not an engineering company.
NCI owns Midwest Steel, Metallic Steel Buildings, Garco Steel Buildings Robertson Metal, and Mesco Building Solutions and several others which are all pre-engineered building companies. NCI also owns MBCI and Metal Depot which markets metal building components—which is where your GC would be buying the parts. NCI is a vertically integrated company that owns the production facitilities for metal coil stock of all widths, thicknesses and colors used by other metal building manufacturers such as Berridge, Whirlwind Buildings, and United Structures. They also own the patents on most of the standing seam roof products used by those companies and charge license fees for thier use, and they produce the machinery that forms those panel profiles.

That’s an incredible story. I’m used to getting “targeted” coupons from Kroger, but they’re coupons for stuff I buy all the time. So far, I haven’t seen any sign that they’re going to predict what I will be buying next. But if they start sending me coupons for Geritol and Depends, I’ll know they are data mining me.
I guess the image of Mharper in Depends has kilt da blog.
Do you have two hours to spare this weekend? Verify the Vote needs your nimble fingers!
Not On Drudge
House and Senate Republicans vote to add $100B to deficit.
The “eh” cup just spilleth over
Knob and tube, the insulators are porcelain but I doubt many people would know what they are to bank any. Katy, Tomball, or maybe Humble kept knob and tube code questions on their electrical license tests well into the 80′s. Just to be a horse’s patoot and limit competition for the locals. The center gas element from a metal halide lamp makes a good knife sharpener as well. But again, who would know what it is.
I understand she drove away in a minnie van.

The Republican controlled House passed and sent a 2 page bill to the Senate.
The Democratically-controlled Senate added 268 pages and a monstrosity of additional crap to fund all their friends. Friends with benefits is an enriching experience when they are Democrat Senators.
Ira Stoll at The Future of Capitalism has the complete story full of informative links.

I still don’t know what the word bank has to do with these things from Hammy’s remodelling. To me, “a little bank” suggests a Piggy Bank.
?
Its a ‘hipster’ phrase as I understand it. I think that means you are over fifty and really have a pair of ‘em.
Katfish answered the question pretty well yesterday. I didn’t think I needed to elaborate further.

That would be up to me to explain what a knife sharpener is, I guess. I could see them selling at some place like the Armadillo Bazaar in Austin. Crunchy types love “repurposed” things.

The bill the house sent to the Senate (HR3630) was 370 pages.
I suspect your source was referring to the House conferees’ instruction, not anywhere near the same thing, but good for baiting the
gullibleuninformed.Bill stuff is here:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:HR3630:
These Thomas links are usually temporary, you can also use the HR3630 link on the Senate page.
As The Hill pointed out, the Republicans opted not to filibuster and the Senate adopted rules permitting a simple majority of 51 votes to pass, but it managed to collect 60, a large majority for these types of bills. Your source did manage to correctly identify that the bill wasn’t posted for 3 days in the House so people could read it, but what the heck.
All the more curious why Drudge didn’t report it; although there probably wasn’t any room after the Woman grabs Obama’s Butt, FLOTUS shakes hand of Ron Paul visitor at Whitehouse and the Whitney Houston coverage stories.
In other news of the outside world, the Senate confirmed Jesse Furman for the Southern District bench.
His delay was 5 months, the average delay for an Obama nomination is 91 days, vice 23 days for President Bush at this time in his Presidency. IIRC, Texas has 5 judges that Cornyn’s trying to push that are tied up by the minority filibustering.
The atheists are organizing

I’m guessing that the mythbuster guy draws more people than the bands and Richard Dawkins. Maybe 3,000 will show up depending on whether there is free food or not.

Ok, now dare I ask, what exactly are “crunchy types”? Austin is full of hippies and yuppies, and neither group seems crunchy to me.
Fruits, nuts and flakes.
Shabbat Shalom, Y’all.
#66 Bones
Heh. You are probably right.
Sounds overstated to me.
By an order of magnitude.
#68 Homer: Yes, there is at least one too may zeros in the estimate of the universe of US atheists. Hmmmm, someone on the left overstating numbers, where else do they do that? Oh, yeah, at least 10% of the population is homosexual, or that is the claim, yet whenever there is a reasonably unbiased study the number usually comes out at less than 3%.
Insert here the numerous stories and the widely known snail’s pace of judicial appointments by our community organizer in chief.
Considering his staggering bad judgement in making appointments – see Eric Holder – lets hope he continues to drag his ass.
Orwell just emailed me to say “Did I call it or did I call it?”

Google crunchy cons.
Think granola. Think hippie.
Crunchy Conservatism
Hi Gang! Well I made it in spite of all the traffic problems in Lake Charles, lost 20 minutes of my life there. To all that wished me Happy Birthday, I say “Thanks!” I consider that real special.
Yup, fired up the lap-top about half way and couldn’t get the DAYAAM Zerizon stick to work and, you guessed it, ….dropped my beer.
KatFish
Dang, it worked!! I know you will NOT believe this, but I did not see a single LA Trooper, that has NEVER happened before, did se a Sheriff or two.
ST, Where the HE!! have you been? You need to pop in every now and again.
Iron Mary, I think that I may have let the cat out o’ the bag on Thursday,….’bout my Birfday.
#72 Shannon
I don’t know anyone who fits that bizarre description. I’ve never known anyone who fits in all of those categories. Do they have to fit in all the categories, or can you qualify if you match just some of them? For example, can you be a gun-loving organic gardener who is a hip homeschooling mama but hate Birkenstocks and prefer cowboy boots ? — cuz that kinda sounds like ST.
If there really are any crunchy conservatives, who on earth would they vote for?
Yet another example of how The J Brothers open my eyes here every day.
Twas Facebook what gave you away.
Hmm, if Dave is in FB, how cumzit Iron Mary don’t have him linked up?

If you take time to read Dreher’s original piece and some of the reaction to it, it will help.
Don’t ask me to guess how many crunchy cons are out there. I’m sure it’s more than we think.
There just aren’t any on this blog.
Or on talk radio.
Or at Bones’ house.
