Substitute parliamentary democracy for republic and Bill Maher's words are a stinging indictment of apathetic Canadians. Recommend this Post
Given that today is Sunday, it seems appropriate to post this spirited discussion as Bill Maher launches into his usual anti-Islamic tirade, countered by commentary from Michael Moore, Valerie Plame, and the Reverend Al Sharpton:

It's nice to see a little Sun everyone once and awhile in the toxic soup that is comprises much of the Media in the the US.

On his RealTime programme last night, Bill Maher couldn't wait to get into his shopworn, anti-Islam theme about the Muslim faith being unique in promoting violence.
As I listened to his diatribe I so wished I could ask him just one question. Since the turn of this century, how many innocent Muslims have died at the hands of Christian forces and how many innocent Christians have perished at Muslim hands?
My guess is that the ratio would be at least several hundred to one and would utterly reduce Maher's endless rant.
The fact is we've been putting the boots (Read more…)
Hard to believe that this is for real… but it is. Donald Trump has a big ego, and can't take a joke, and… well… frankly, I see the orangutan resemblance. Is comedy even needed? Trump does a good enough job making a joke of himself. There was even a letter from Trump's lawyer to Maher, with a copy of Trump's birth certificate, attesting that he is not the son of an orangutan… why so defensive? Maybe the birth certificate is faked – following birther logic…

Bill Maher's 2001 Christmas message is just as timely and wise now as it was 11 years ago. For the second year in a row, I will allow Maher, an agnostic who is highly critical of organized religion, to have the last word on Christmas Day here on 350orbust.
Two of my favourite Bills talk climate change, along with the Republicans at the table. It is, as 350.org posted, a seriously awesome "smack-down" – climate science and reality versus climate nonsense. With infinite patience, Bill McKibben responds yet again to the same tired old Republican/conservative talking points: *Thanks Jen P for sending this my [...]

I ridiculed the silliness of some aspects of libertarian thought in an earlier post, and planned to offer some balance by noting that their inherent suspicion-of-authority has played a big role in raising awareness of the financial crimes and improprieties of recent years. Alpha-dog libertarians are a bit like moneyed anarchists — since "the system" has worked well for them, they don't actually want to destroy the state. Just neuter it. Anyways, their pecuniary acumen seems to give them a sharklike sense for financial corruption.

What are the inner workings of The Daily Show or Real Time with Bill Maher? The interviews give a small slice of insight into what the leading satirists in America believe they are doing and why they do what they do. Also, Rory Bremner, from the UK is also mentioned. I've never heard of him until now but it seems he occupies the same space as Stewart and Maher. I'll see if I can dig up some of Bremner's work, for the sake of curiosity.

As a counterpoint to Alexandra Pelosi's somewhat controversial piece the previous week interviewing "typical" Republican voters in Mississippi, on last Friday's Real Time, Bill Maher aired "the thing that would make liberals go insane"…
In the video, multiple welfare recipients proclaim they were at the welfare office (or "Job Center") to get their "Obama bucks" and that they supported Obama because he "gives me stuff" and "because he's black."
Nice to see Chris Matthews (and others) tackle Newt Gringrich's puzzling obsession with Saul Alinsky. Turns out, just like so many other weird fixations of the deranged right-wing, to be a classic case of projection.
Bill Maher also defused the mainstreaming of this demented right-wing talking point in his "New Rules" monologue the other day after admitting that he didn't have a clue who Saul Alinksy was before reading about him earlier in the week on Wikipedia.
What! Socialism in America? Say it isn't so.

Birmingham City Councilwoman Maxine Herring Parker will speak about community collaboration Wednesday in Boston.
She will join a panel of speakers at the Environmental Protection Agency's Community Involvement Training Conference. She will be joined by Stephanie Brown of EPA Region 4 and Carolyn Hunter of Tetra Tech, Inc., in discussing Collaborating for Success in an Environmental Justice Community – 35th Avenue Site.
Parker has worked along with city leaders to bring residents together in Collegeville, Harriman Park, North Birmingham and Fairmont, who have been impacted by industrial pollution in the 35th Avenue Superfund site.
"It has been imperative that we work together to ensure that all residents in these four neighborhoods have access to proper testing to determine exposure to pollution and the impact it has had on them and their property," Councilor Parker said in a press release.
Parker's presentation will include information about the community coalition and partnerships with resources including the City of Birmingham, the UAB School of Public Health and the Jefferson County Health Department. She will also discuss enhancing communities in the 35th Avenue Superfund site.

Alabama's chief justice, known as the Ten Commandments judge, fights gay marriage
Posted Feb 7, 2014 8:28 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, known as the Ten Commandments judge, is taking up a new cause.
Moore has written to the governors of all 50 states in an effort to enact a federal constitutional ban on gay marriage, the Associated Press reports. Moore is urging the governors to ask their legislatures to call for a constitutional convention to enact the amendment.
Moore told the wire service that "the moral foundation of our country is under attack" and "judges are warping the law."
Though an Article V convention has never been held, "I think the time is ripe for that to happen with the political atmosphere in Congress," Moore told AP. "They can't get along or agree on anything."
Moore was ousted from the state's top court in 2003 for his refusal to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building. He was re-elected to the court in 2012.
Susan Watson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama, issued a statement criticizing Moore's campaign, AL.com reports.
"Chief Justice Roy Moore said that government has become oppressive and this is yet another perfect example of his contributions to the matter," the statement said. "His definition of marriage as 'one man-one woman' is a religious one. We support everyone's rights to have their own religious beliefs, but he is chronically imposing his beliefs on others."

The Cowboys and The Moment of Truth
Really great and funny thoughts on the loss to NY and where the Boys go from here. On Tony Romo: The national media would start here if they weren't utterly consumed with fellating the league's most comically inept passer and orphan circumciser, so I'll pick up the slack for them. A few will still find time this week to pin the loss on Romo for missing an open Miles Austin for what would have been the game-winning TD, but when you put up a stat line of 21/31, 321 yards, 4 TDs and no picks you're not going to come in for a ton of blame in my book. That throw and a couple of other deep misses to Laurent Robinson were blemishes, but he fired some on-the-money frozen ropes to Austin to set up what should have been the game-tying FG and his ability to buy time in the pocket led to his wide-open bombs to Robinson and Dez.

The marketplace of Sigil, the City of Doors, center of the planes, is a maze of tent stalls and shops that sells anything and everything to those from a thousand worlds. More information on the setting can be seen here: http://www.dragonbear.com/ISRP/sigil.html

Yup, redstone arsenal right next to huntsville. Have you been there?
yeah man. 20th group has our HHC up there.
actually just finished up some orders with PTAE, sent guys from the 441st EOD and 111th EOD through validation before they went off to their mob site. pretty cool dudes. kinda cocky but i guess that's not saying much esp considering i hang out with group guys, lol.
you gonna transfer to either of those units?
No idea honestly, right now I'm just trying to finish this phase asap and get on to eglin for phase II. From there I'm trying to get to Campbell or Bragg, not sure what unit I would find myself in

Regrettably, I haven't posted on T-Nation in quite awhile. But I plan on being more active now.
I have an update for anyone who cares. I'm damn near done with EOD school down here at Eglin. It's been a long, hard (academically) road, as I've been in class since August and have gone straight through. It's mostly downhill from here. If anyone is familiar with the division layout, I tested out of IEDs and should be in BC in about a week or so. In about 2-2.5 more months, I should get my Crab and proudly call myself an EOD tech.
Like I said before, I haven't been on here in awhile. But thanks to everyone who wished me good luck back in August. I'll keep you guys posted; waiting on orders right now (seems like I'm the last one to get them, lol). Also, I'll gladly answer any questions I can with my limited experience to anyone who is thinking about coming to EOD or just curious.
Thanks again everyone

Yah, this school is, no shit, like 11 months long for Army (Redstone + Eglin), going straight through. Not the longest school ever, but it's gotta be up there, lol.
And yes, Northwest Wisconsin. Rice Lake/Cumberland area, about an hour north of Eau Claire. Where in WI are you from?
Great news everybody, got my orders today.
I'll have to get back to you on the exact unit (788th?, I think), but I'm going to Fort Campbell. I'm so pumped. I used
to live there as an Army brat, and we have family friends there right now (infantry, though). I'm surprised I got my first
Anyone currently stationed there?

Bring your canoe! They have some massive flooding going on in that neck of the woods right now. I was stationed at Campbell as my first duty station and can honestly say it set me up for success. Good luck to you.
That's good to hear, the part about success atleast, lol. And yes, I've heard all about the flooding. I don't currently
own a canoe, but maybe with my bonus...? Lol, thanks for the good luck
question, i'm sending one of my sgt's to IED-master gunner school.
know anything about that?
I honestly don't know much about it. It seems similar to GATOR, a pre-deployment course for EOD techs. It basically briefs/teaches everyone about current enemy TTP's, what is being found in clandestine labs by WIT and CEXC, etc.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Update: graduated today, on leave until the 27th. Going to the 49th instead of the 788th, still Fort Campbell. Can't be too specific about this, but deploying to Afghanistan VERY soon

Another update:
Forgot to mention it here, but I ended up going to the 788th instead of the 49th. Sooooo, I'm not in Afghanistan. I'm still here in the States.
Although guys I graduated with are getting experience over there (wherever they are), I'm getting plenty of experience running CONUS incidents, from Dothan, AL to Rockford, IL and everywhere in between.
I'm scheduled to deploy to Iraq in Q3 2011, until things change again.

You mentioned the GATOR course, is there something similar for non-techs, maybe an MTT that could come to a unit and give a brief to a unit preparing to deploy to theater?

Soul on Spruce
What's that you say? You've never been to Gigi & Big R's? If you want soul food by campus, Gigi's hits the spot.
Fried chicken, jerk chicken, fried fish: those are your options at Gigi and Big R's (unless you want oxtail). Then pick your style: sandwich ($7) or platter ($9), and stock up on sides. We opted for two platters (chicken breast with collard greens and mac 'n cheese and jerk chicken with string beans) and a white fish sandwich. The sandwich is DIY — you'll get two pieces of brown bread and your fish on the side, splashed with hot sauce or topped with ketchup. The chicken breast is huge, chock–full of all the stuff your mom and Whole Foods tell you not to eat. But if you get the craving, Gigi's is a good spot to go for it. We loved the jerk chicken, which, like the rice and beans, was properly spicy. But our fav? The cornbread ($1) that tastes nothing like cornbread. Think apple–banana cake cut like a cornbread wedge — thick. Delish.

10th Loper to Make A.P. Squad
Kearney, Neb. – The awards keep coming for Nebraska-Kearney junior left tackle Cole Manhart as he was named today to the Associated Press Little All-American team.
The A.P. Little All-American team dates back to the early 1930's and includes players from NCAA Division II and III schools, as well as NAIA institutions
Manhart (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) was chosen to the A.P.'s first-team offense. He already had been tabbed a first-team All-American by the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association).
The 10th Loper to be named an A.P. Little All-American and the fourth to make the first-team, Manhart (ThunderRidge H.S.) is joined on the offensive line by Division II players Matt Armstrong (Grand Valley State, Mich.), Brian Clarke (Bloomsburg, Pa.) and Cody Carlson (NW Missouri State), as well as Division III's Armand Jenifer (Johns Hopkins, Md.).
The other MIAA players on the first-team were defensive end Matt Longacre (NW Missouri State), linebacker Nate Dreiling (Pittsburg State) and corner Pierre Desir (Lindenwood).
The only unanimous first-team All-MIAA player this fall,
Manhart (6-6, 300 lbs.) blocked for a ground game that ranked sixth in the
conference in rushing offense at 203.7 yards per game. He also was an
"H" back in UNK's hammer package, which was unveiled in the fifth
contest of the season, a 56-6 win over Lindenwood.
Off the field, he maintains a 3.51 cumulative GPA as a Criminal Justice major. Finally, Manhart (ThunderRidge H.S.) was one of UNK's team co-captains this season.

HICKORY (AP) — The father of a missing 10-year-old said Friday that he is still not sure whether his wife was involved in the girl's disappearance.
Baker said he just wants to find Zahra Clare Baker and take her back to the family's native Australia if she wants to go. Police believe the girl is dead.
Baker and his wife Elisa, the girl's stepmother, reported her missing Oct. 9. They said they had last seen Zahra — who used hearing aids and a prosthetic leg because of bone cancer — in her bed at their home in Hickory, about 50 miles northwest of Charlotte. But police don't believe them.
What happened to Zahra Clare Baker? Police continue to put together a timeline regarding, what many fear, were the last weeks of the 10-year-old's life.
North Carolina officials believe Newton's central business district is among the nation's historic areas, and that could be good news for downtown property owners.
"I think this is a benefit not only from the cultural aspect of historic preservation of buildings," said Rob Powell, Newton's commercial development coordinator, "but with the tax credits … if you do a project that meets federal guidelines you can basically get federal and state tax credits for completing renovations."
Less than one year after its opening, a Newton business is giving back to the community that helps keep it in business.
2 Pink Magnolias in Newton, in conjunction with The Newton-Conover Women's Club, will hold a Wine and Charity event to benefit a service of the Family Guidance Center.
Mother and daughter team Becky and Jennifer Stiver are co-owners of 2 Pink Magnolias, and ever since their store opened in February.
Disturbing reports of violence and mistreatment surfaced this week during the investigation of missing 10-year-old Zahra Clare Baker.
Could those acts of violence have been stopped if someone knew what to watch for?
Area child abuse prevention adovocates say people shouldn't wait to act if they suspect violence against a child.
Possible indicators of physical child abuse include welts, unexplained burns, bald spots and unexplained bruises, said Adrienne Opdyke, victim advocate for the Children's Advocacy Center.
When documentarian James Smith met the International Gourd Lady at a craft fair in Charlotte, he saw something special.
It was a spark -- Margaret "Sparky" Sparkman, to be exact.
"I met her, and I was really inspired," Smith said. "She really sparked that interest in me to do something unique."
Smith decided to do a documentary on the life of the woman known worldwide as the International Gourd Lady.
He soon discovered, however, that there is more to Sparkman than brightly painted gourds and a colorful outfit.
Investigators came up empty Thursday in the search for Zahra Baker.
Maj. Clyde Deal with the Hickory Police Department said the search for clues in Baker's disappearance turned up nothing.
In the days since Baker was reported missing, police searched property in Burke County, including draining a pond. Deal declined to say the exact location of the property or how many locations are being searched.
Members of Catawba Valley Pride Inc. say it's time for a gay pride event in Catawba County, but the first-ever event is something residents remain hesitant to discuss.
The three-day event starts Friday at the Lenoir-Rhyne University and continues throughout the weekend at various locations in Catawba County.
During a survey of Catawba County residents, several people declined to comment about the event, citing its sensitive nature.
"I just don't want to comment about it," one woman said.
Parents of missing 10-year-old Zahra Clare Baker were not operating a home school when Zahra was reported missing, according to records from the North Carolina Division of Non-public Education.
Hickory police said Zahra, who was reported missing Saturday about 2 p.m., was home-schooled at the time of her disappearance, and she previously attended Caldwell County Schools.
CHARLOTTE (AP) — Though Zahra Clare Baker was battling cancer that forced her to wear hearing aids and a prosthetic leg, friends who knew her in Australia say she was an outgoing, caring, happy girl.
Then her lonely single father moved her halfway around the world to North Carolina so he could live with a woman he met on the Internet. Now the 10-year-old with the freckles and wide smile is missing and presumed dead, and friends and family thousands of miles away are waiting anxiously for word about her fate.

Fire Bruce Arians, Steelers Offensive Coordinator
This petition is designed to address the issue that is the Pittsburgh Steelers Offense, directly related to the play calling seen since the 07-08 season, and more notibly in the 08-09 season. There has been a lack of production on the offense, and few corrective actions taken through the course of a game. Offensive production has been minimal at best, and the offense is arguably in its worst state for many years. Steelers fans will note the lack of a solid running game, the non-development of an offensive line, the poor pass protection for ben Rothlisburger, and the forcing of Ben to become a pocket passer. We wish to find a new coordinator for the offense to compliment our solid Defense.

Congress has left Washington for the July 4th holiday after failing to pass a measure to stop a 100 percent increase in subsidized student loan rates.
Roughly seven million college students are taking subsidized federal loans this year. Subsidized loans are interest-free while a student is in school. After the College Cost Reduction and Access Act passed in 2007, subsidized loans also had lower interest rates than unsubsidized federal loans.
That act expires July first, so any loans taken out after Monday will be subject to a 6.8 percent interest rate instead of the current 3.4 percent.
Subsidized loans are intended to help middle and lower income families attend college. Friday's failed legislation means many students are facing an uncertain future.
"It's really unfortunate because I'm already thinking I'm probably going to have to be paying those loans until I'm like 40," said college senior Maddisen Mosser.
Mosser already has about $50,000 in student loans, but she knows it's a necessary investment.
"You pretty much don't have an option put to go to school and it's impossible to pay for it; you can't pay for it yourself," said Mosser.
"So many people try to differentiate themselves now that I almost think you need to have a degree in this day and age," said student Cody Malik, finishing up his Master's degree in Accounting.
Even with that in mind, most students still fear the day they have to start paying those student loans.
"I know some people that have to pay 4 or 500 a month for it and its kind of like, wow, that's a lot," said Mosser.
"It's definitely going to decrease my discretionary spending once I do have to start paying them back," said Malik.
It's why the thought of having even larger monthly payments is so troubling.
"It's about another $2500 hit over a 10 year period…it definitely has an impact, but its not such an impact that you're going to look at this change in interest rates and suddenly say college isn't worth it," said Augustana's Financial Aid Director Brenda Murtha.
"I'm developing a good set of skills that no one can take away from me, so I'm willing to pay that extra bit of loan interest or whatever I have to sacrifice to do it because I know down the road I'm going to benefit from it tremendously," said Malik.
Other students are hoping Congress will be able to come to some kind of agreement soon.
"My need to look at what's the better good for everybody and not, o this is not the democratic way, this is not the republican belief, and lets just argue and not agree on anything," said Malik.
When Congress returns from their July 4th break, they could make a retroactive deal that would temporarily bring back the lower interest rates this year. It's why Murtha says students should wait to make any major loan decisions until August.

Episiotomy vs Tearing: Which Is Better?
OMG! Just the thought of an episiotomy vs tearing is enough to make me cross my legs!
But sadly, this is something many women are faced with during childbirth.
Obviously, as an organisation that is passionate about the possibility and benefits of natural childbirth our message to expecting mothers is … with the proper education, preparation and support you CAN increase your changes of giving you and your baby the gift of a natural childbirth. The various natural childbirth techniques covered on this website will help to decrease the likelihood of you experiencing tearing or having to be cut during labor.
However, as we all know, life does not always work out exactly as we want it to. Your labor might play out where you HAVE to choose between an episiotomy or tearing. If that is the case, here are the pros and cons of episiotomy vs tearing to help you make an informed decision for yourself.
(EPISIOTOMY: When a cut is made between the vagina & anus before delivery)
Years ago, episiotomies were done routinely, because obstetricians believed that having a "clean" cut would heal better than natural tearing following labor – they were especially conducted on first time mothers. Experts also believed it could help other complications after birth such as incontinence.
But the number of routine episitomies has dropped dramatically because studies have found no basis for them. Actually, research has shown the procedure could cause problems instead. As a result, experts, including the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, now state episiotomies should NOT be done routinely.
But let's ask some experts in NATURAL BIRTH what they think? … And … that comes to our QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Episiotomy vs Tearing: Which Is Better?
This video is a clear explanation of an Episiotomy
Tracey Rose is a journalist, natural childbirth educator and mother of two. Her story of safe, natural and pain-free birthing has inspired thousands of women all around the world to get educated about ALL the options in childbirth.

Time Mag's Scherer Hails 'Incredibly Eloquent' Lugar Manifesto, Compares It to Eisenhower's Warning
The Washington press corps always love it when establishment Republicans scold conservatives for trying to "purify" the party, and Time magazine's Michael Scherer did not disappoint. "Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar did not go quietly, after losing his primary contest Tuesday in Indiana to a Tea Party-backed challenger, Richard Mourdock," Scherer wrote the next day in a Time "Swampland" blog titled "The Importance of Dick Lugar's Farewell Warning."
"If there is one thing the American people need to read today," the former writer for the far-left Mother Jones directed, "it is his farewell missive, which may prove to be as prescient and long lasting as Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 exit speech warning of the coming military industrial
Thursday morning on MSNBC's Daily Rundown, Scherer trumpeted Lugar's words as "an incredibly eloquent manifesto," asserting "there have been a number of people who've been chased out of the party now," but none had the "courage" Lugar displayed.
MSNBC host Chuck Todd, NBC's chief political correspondent, had rued the lack of attention to Lugar's rebuke of his fellow Republicans.
From MSNBC's 9 AM EDT The Daily Rundown on Thursday, May 10:
CHUCK TODD: The story that got over-shadowed by all of this, to me, that we would have been talking about – and I think if you're the Republican Party you're oddly happy, Michael Scherer, is the Dick Lugar manifesto that basically said he was chased out of his party.
MICHAEL SCHERER: Not only was it a manifesto, but it was an incredibly eloquent manifesto. There have been a number of people who've been chased out of the party now and none have either had the courage or the position-
TODD: They sort of wait until they leave office completely.
SCHERER: And it sounds like sour grapes. Here he was, like the way Lugar phrased that was as an appeal to the country saying, look, we're electing positions now we're not people and the long-term country is in trouble.

I have never in my life read anything that has "sore loser" stamped all over it like Lugar's "incredibly eloquent manifesto."

LIberals measure partisanship
Submitted by rbosque on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 9:53am.
LIberals measure partisanship when Conservatives suck up to them, not the other way around. Piss on them, they should be fearful that Conservatives are pissed and not going to take any more of the business-as-usual from these dolts in Washington including RINOS.

Scherer just proved why
Submitted by ohio granny on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 9:56am.
Scherer just proved exactly why it is a good thing Lugar was defeated. The republican party does not need democrats masquerading as republicans. These RINO's should all be on notice. They can no longer lie about their true intentions and get away with it.
Call us the great unwashed masses or whatever derogatory term the libs want, we are purging the party of RINO's and will become the party of fiscal responsibility, small government and strong national defense.
All the caterwalling from democrats just proves the point that Lugar needed to go. There are others that need to pay close attention. Their time is coming. The survival of the USA as a strong, free country is at stake. We will not lose it without a fight.

Lugar was chased by a 61/39 whooping, not by 2 or 3 points, if it was just purity, it would have been close, we were fed up with a guy who lives in the DC area, did not have a home here, and charged us for his hotel stays when he came back. People across the GOP spectrum were just fed up with him.

In 09 it was becoming very clear Lugar was going to be a goner, when die hard R's in Porter county (very conservative) wanted him gone.
the crescendo built upward from there, by 2011 even mentioning Lugar's name would get a fight brewing.

I seem to recall that it was Democrats who held congress solidly until Reagan's presidency. It certainly was not Republicans.

Just a hunch, but I expect

Just a hunch, but I expect that the farewell comments of the Honorable Zell Miller, former Georgia Governor and US Senator, in his reflections and warnings about where his Democratic party was going, chasing he and others out, were not viewed as "an incredibly eloquent manifesto" and treated with such respectful reverence and awe byTodd & Scherer

As our current President proves...

Eloquence does not matter in the long run. What matters is actions and the knowledge of reality that lets you see things as they are and not as you wish them to be.
Speaking well about fiction and fantasy will not help turn the country around and put us back on course. For the most part it is the eloquent Marxists who have gotten us in the predicament that we are in. We could do with some less eloquent speakers and more understanding do-ers, ESPECIALLY in the Seante who have not passed a budget (which they are Constitutionally mandated to do) in over 3 years.
To Luger, I say good ridence. You have lived off the tax payers for far far too long while helping to steer the ship toward the reef, because you thought that the view was ncer. I am only saddended by the knowledge that you will now collect a pension that is better than 99% of your constituents whom you have put in harms way because of your compromises.

I love the sound of RINO's whining in the morning
Submitted by Blonde on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 11:33am.
.....it smells like VICTORY! (to coin a phrase).
Lugar chose to move further to the left, even though his constituency is moving the opposite direction. Rather than choosing to become part of the solution, he chose to remain a cause of the problem, by going along with liberal policies in order to "get along".
To those who choose to get along, I have two words. Get Out! Now, while you still have your dignity....else you'll be whining in the morning after-election.

Any time a liberal starts on
Submitted by Kenny Bunkport on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 11:56am.
Any time a liberal starts on about lack of bi-partisanship, just remind them that Obamacare was jammed down Americans throats without a single Republican vote. Not only that, but Republicans were locked out of the writing of the bill as well. No Republican input, no Republican support. The Democrats didn't want any. (Even though they still had to heavily bribe six of their own to get it through). It doesn't get any more partisan than that. There isn't anything remotely similar on the Republican side in living memory.

A "Manifesto?"
Submitted by CobraMan on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 12:40pm.
Humm. Lugar writes a "manifesto," and Time Mag is "impressed" with how "eloquent" it was. Well, The Unibomber's Manifesto was also "eloquent" and dealt with things like the Military-Industrail complex. It was also far more recent than anything Eisenhower ever wrote about. So, one would think this it's far more relevant. But, alas, no reverences to THAT in the liberal Time Mag. No, they have to go decades back and reference a Republican and his "manifesto" written in the early 60's.
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution
Unless you're a fetus. The US Supreme Court
Or Anwar al-Awlaki.

you abandoned the Republican party a long time ago. It just took a while for a good conservative to come along and put you to the curb. We can only hope that you will have a lot of company very soon.

Curious analogy, and farewell to the Lugarsaurus Rex
Submitted by Galvanic on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 1:27pm.
As he finished his second term, President Eisenhower warned the nation of a "military-industrial complex," and he was right.
But today we might more properly call it a "military-industrial-Congressional complex," of which Lugar was a longtime active member.
Such a complex does deliver security (some of the best in the world), but at an unnecessarily great expense, making it nearly impossible to make optimum investment decisions for our forces. It focuses on profits and home district jobs rather than results, and our men and women in uniform pay the price when it fails.
Beneath the surface of Lugar's sour-grapes "manifesto" is his warning that there exists a threat to the Ancien Regime in the Beltway, which will destroy the fossilized legislators and institutes that have driven up the national debt. This guy was so welded to Washington that he no longer had a residence in the state he represented, living in Virginia close to the culture that nourished him.
Indiana residents voted for change in their GOP primary and all this dinosaur can do is cry the blues and warn that the world will come to an end. He is angry because he has been fired from the job that he believed he was entitled to.
Well, goodbye, Mr. Lugar. No need to go back to Indiana anymore. Be a lobbyist for the complex.

Worst legacy that old Ike
Submitted by Kenny Bunkport on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 3:10pm.
Worst legacy that old Ike left. The communists have ran with that ball for 50 years. Instead of warning about the military-industrial complex, he should of warned us about the academic-media conspiracy.
Of course, if he had done that, his bit of prognostication would just be a forgotten line in a forgotten speech in his library somewhere. The academic-media conspiracists would have made sure of that.

Just a quick teaser image. You might notice that there's something a little different about these rounds.
Keep an eye peeled for a full report in the not too distant future.

If that isn't happiness in a box, I don't know what is.
I figured that running the press would be a good chore to get out of the way for the holiday.
Just a few minutes ago, the press suddenly stopped seating primers properly.
After stopping what I was doing, clearing the plate of rounds, and taking some time to investigate, I found a primer stuck to the bottom of the shell plate platform.
Seemingly in defiance of gravity, it wasn't even jammed on anything. Tapping it with my finger sent it scurrying off for some dusty corner of the basement.
Last Sunday, as has become a habit, I shot the monthly Blackwater 3-Gun match. This time, though, I brought my new HD camcorder along…
I ended up winning the match by just over half a second.
The Good:
Shotgun – I ran the shotgun better than I ever have. Loading, accuracy, and speed were all excellent. It's probably fair to say that I won this match on the shotgun.
Movement – Looking at some of my old match video from last year, my movement has been improving a great deal. I still have a lot of work to do on this part of my game, but my progress has been pretty significant.
The Bad:
Rifle – I don't know if I've just been getting faster with the other guns, but my rifle shooting seems really slow, especially offhand and supported offhand. It's probably well past time to break out the .22LR and do some serious position shooting practice.
Fun match as always. Next month, the season really begins to heat up, so expect to see more posts like this.
There were a couple of displays with movie guns at SHOT. Fans of Firefly ought to recognize this one…
And fans of Dirty Harry should recognize the next one.
Smith and Wesson actually had a pretty large display with about ten guns that had been used in various movies on display, including the revolver from XXX, the gun Sameul L. Jackson carried in The Spirit, and the S&W Model 76 that Heath Ledger used in The Dark Night.
One of the things at SHOT that I think will be of interest to a lot of 3 Gun shooters is the new modular receiver system that Lancer has released, the L15. It uses a pin and slot system so you can swap out mag wells on your rifle.
Swapping magazine wells with this system is just a matter of knocking out one pin, sliding the current mag well off, and replacing it with the one you want to use.
The other cool thing that Lancer had on display, and one that a lot of 3 Gun shooters will be interested in is their Quickmag system. While it looks like products that are already on the market that allow you to carry an additional magazine on the gun, the Quickmag is designed in such a way that when you press the button to release the spare magazine, it also activates the magazine release on your rifle. Basically, with the push of a single button, you can dump your empty and release a fresh magazine. It was extremely easy to use this product to execute a rifle reload in a second or less. It was cool enough that it's the one product I actually shot video of:
The Quickmag design is still being refined, and they're hoping to release it later this year.
I shot a two-stage local match last Monday night and managed to land slightly above middle of the pack in all divisions, 13th out of 29 shooters, and, surprisingly, first place in Production Division.
Not too shabby for as little range time as I've been getting lately.
On the gear side of things, I'm really, really liking the M&P Pro. After the match, I sent the gun off to get a trigger job on it. It's about the best M&P trigger I've ever felt, and I'll have more info on it once I get a chance to test fire it at the range.
Next up will be a couple of magazine extensions for shooting 3gun, and I should have all of my pistol bases covered.
Yeah, I know, as usual I'm late to the game, but here we go anyway:
SHOT was awesome. If you ever have the chance to attend the SHOT Show, I highly recommend it. Ok, so on to the good stuff…
Tactical Solutions
TacSol, they of the coolest rimfire kits and accessories known to man, did not disappoint:
They had their Glock rimfire conversion kits. Certainly not the first company to make a conversion kit, but the inclusion of a threaded barrel is certainly a plus, especially since sound suppressors seem to be going mainstream.
Speaking of which:
Also, TacSol will be selling the new Black Dog 50 round drum magazines. These have a couple of neat features, including a unique loading method that is very thumb-friendly, and the ability to swap out feed towers so that you can use the same drum for either a 10/22 or with a rimfire AR upper receiver:
Troy Industries
Troy industries makes some very cool stuff, and in the offing, they've got some unique AR products, and, while I didn't get a chance to take any photos, they've got some suppressors in the works that will be very cool.
But first…
Troy was also demoing this rifle float tube with an integrated flip-up front sight. Definitely a cool piece of kit with obvious functionality.
This might be helpful when my brain stops functioning and I get lost on one of those blasted memory stages…
Ok, that's all for now. I'll update periodically with more pics…
One thing that just can't really be conveyed about SHOT is how huge it is. No matter how many times someone says "It was so big, there was no way to see everything there." until you actually see it, there's no real way to comprehend the scale of the thing. There's literally something to appeal to everyone. On one end, you may find yourself rubbing elbows with the outdoor guys who run the Montana Canvas Tent Company (hint hint, f you want to get me something for Christmas) and the next thing you know, you're talking to the Milkor rep about the innovations of their revolving grenade launcher. (hint, hint, if you want to get me something for Hanukkuh*.)
If it has anything whatsoever to do with shooting, it's there.
So, here are the first round of highlights of the show for me.
Shooting Celebrities
-Getting to shake hands and shoot the bull for a couple of minutes with Jerry Miculek. Very nice guy.
-Getting to see Taran Butler again, and hearing the Jennifer Garner story. (You have to ask him about this story. I couldn't do it justice.)
-Running into Caleb Giddings of Gun Nuts Media and Top Shot fame and hanging out with him for a bit.
-Getting to see Larry Corriea and getting a signed copy of Monster Hunter Vendetta as well as the chance to handle the custom 10mm/40 S&W blaster STI built for him. (Also, some of my artwork will be appearing in his upcoming book, Hard Magic)
-Getting to speak with Rob Pincus for the first time in several years.
-Getting to meet Michael Bane again. He took top honors at this year's Outdoor Channel Golden Moose Awards. You know you've arrived when Larry Potterfield, owner of Midway USA does your intro.
Non-Celebrities who I've wanted to meet for a long time
-Derek Zeanah, who's been footing the bill for THR from day 1. He's a thoroughly nice guy.
-JShirley, another longtime mod on THR, and a man who's opinion I've respected for a good long while. He knows more about knives than I could ever hope for.
-hso, another staff member at THR. Dude should be hosting his own science show on TV.
-Owen, who's now been nominated to staff at THR. Great guy, has forgotten more about guns than I'll ever know.
But that's not what you read this site for. You read it for the gun stuff.
Oh, and was there ever gun stuff…
That'll be up next.
*Ok, not really.

It is a regulatory requirement and part of the Good Manufacturing Practice adopted by the pharmaceutical industry that each container of a raw material is identified before it's used in any pharmaceutical preparation. The Infrared spectrometer is often the first instrument that analyses a sample. Traditionally all spectra of raw materials measured by a laboratory will be compared to its registered pharmacopeial monograph. In the simplest of terms an Infrared identification method is usually developed by constructing a spectral reference library. Essentially a collection of spectra that represent the variability that may be encountered between different batches of the materials which are included in the library.
16th October, 2012 - 10:00 - 10:30am CET
It is essential that once the infrared method has been validated the instrument maintains the same operating conditions. Therefore instrument component checks are required to certify the instrument sampling module is operating correctly, and often automated instrument performance testing can be employed to ensure regulatory IR criteria are met. Additional contamination checks should be implemented to test for sample carry over. During the lifetime of the infrared method it is essential that the results are evaluated to establish equivocal answers and confirm pharmacopieal requirements.

COPIAH COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - All Copiah County roads have re-opened after an EF2 tornado tore through the area. Authorities were busy clearing trees early this morning from Monticello Road, James Road, and Highway 472 at Perrit Road in Copiah County.
We had crews out on Monticello Road, who found damage just a few hours after the storm hit. We could see trees down on a house, and on vehicles at an auto body shop next door. The Copiah EOC director confirmed this was, in fact, a tornado. Many residents told us it certainly sounded like one.
The strong weather system wiped out power to hundreds of Entergy customers. But power has been restored to all but a handful of customers. Right now, there are no reports of any injuries.

Happy Friday, people!
I can't believe it's already the end of January, but I'm not too sad about it because I ended up with 80.7 miles for the month! First time I've hit the 80s since last March.
For a while, I didn't think I would ever get back to monthly mileage like this, but hey, what do you know, smart and slow training really helps.
I had to tell my dad first, as I do with every running feat I encounter, and I think it was first time I had higher monthly mileage than him. I was pretty proud of myself for a while, but then I showed my lack of math skillz and my confidence plummeted
Note to self: 80 – 77.5 = 2.5
(My confidence didn't actually plummet that much. I'm used to it. Show me numbers and I immediately clam up like a….clam.)
So, to get to 80.7 I decided to run 2 miles this morning. I usually (read: never) run the day after a long run, so this was new to me….. and also shows how vain I am in needing to hit that 80 mile milestone.
I know some people love to do shakeout runs after their long run, but I don't think I'm going to become one of them. It wasn't the best run and it wasn't the worst, but I definitely don't feel any benefits from it besides feeling a tiny bit less guilty after eating those tater tots at lunch.
Okay, I'm off to go begin enjoying this weekend.
By watching a movie and going to bed early :)
Do you track your mileage everyday?
Do you prefer math & science or english & history?
I think we all know my answer for this one.
Any fun plans for the weekend?!
