Shameless commercial plug....Being former military and a gunnie makes me acutely aware of how critical good reputable firearms training can be. Frontsight comes highly recommended.

Okay, so its yet another anniversary of Boots on the Ground in Iraq.It was 'too cold' in DC for ANSWER and their comrades to collect more than about 10,000 people in their protest. Meanwhile, The Gathering Of Eagles, who were there to make sure that these moonbats didn't desecrate any of out monuments, managed to send about 30,000. I guess the moonbats didn't wanna get their widdle toesies cold..

The original is here.Go read the whole thing, I'll wait.So basically, a suit in DC dealing with the DC gun ban is now in the DC Disctrict Court. The DC solicitor General's arguement against this unconstitutional ban is simply that the Second Amendment applies only to the militias.Well then, sir, I submit this for your perusal. Surely, as the DC solicitor General, you are familiar with United

For those not up on 'Net abbreviations, this little gem stands for "Ahhh Geez, not this shit again!"For those wondering what I'm babbling about, an hour or so ago a small plane smacked into an apartment building in New York City.The FBI says there is no indication of it being a terrorist attack, most of the people got out, but its still burning.And NORAD still scrambled some jets. As a note, if

I did some animation recently for a show for the History Channel called ArchiTECHS. Its sort of a' thinking man's Monster Garage'- they assemble a think tank for each episode, and the think tank is given 48 hours to come up with as many solutions to the problem as they can.This epsode is about ways to help firefighters fight fires in skyskrapers- or ways for people in burning skyskrapers to get

I've recieved a few comments asking why I haven't posted.I got an animation gig, doing some animations for a show that will air on cable TV in October. The work really picked up- oh, say, Sept 12.That, and school starts up next week.Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go register for classes. Haven't had time for that, either.

Many other people have written about it, but I haven't yet.On the morning of 9/11/2001, I had just finished a deadline project, and was sleeping late. My roommate had seen the tower collapse on television as he left for work. He left the TV on very loud and I came out into the living room ticked off the TV was left on so loud......And stood there and watched them replay the collapse of the

I've wanted an AR-15 for 16 years- ever since I was in Army Basic. I've decided top build a CA-legal AR-15 and to that end I did a trade for an AR upper.Got it from FedEx last night (FedEx delivered it at 8:36 PM) and looked at it a little.Today, I sat down and stripped and cleaned the upper. Still knew how to take it apart, still knews where all the 'dirty spots' are. Used mostly CLP, but needed

Sometime after 6:30 AM EST, on August 20, 2005, my father died.The phone rang at 7:30 AM PST. My wife was semi-awake and looked at the phone."Its your sister." she said.I buried my face in the pillow and almost started crying. There was only one reason my older sister would call me at that time of the morning.A few years ago, they had found a bit of cancer in one of my father's lungs- a bit the

Start by reading here and here.Or, I'll give you the short version...LAPD officer with 18 years on, and his rookie partner, pull over goblin in stolen car. Before they can get out, goblin hops out of his car and 'rakes their patrol car' with shots from an AK-47. Rookie partner takes a bullet to the hand- it was mangled, but he is expected to recover fully.(If you're curious, the newsie tapes from

I know, people assume that someone working in the entertainment industry, or working in the industry, must be a liberal. It is apparently a foregone conclusion.This perception comes from all of the high-profile liberals- liberal to the point of moonbattery, really- that are in the industry. My theory on these particular beasties is that many of them never really 'lived life' long enough to learn

I may live in a 'blue state' but politically, I still live in Virginia. I'm not going to play this game with incumbents who want to keep their jobs. The government, at all levels, needs to be reminded that they serve at our leisure, especially in Calofornia, but just as critically at Federal levels. The congressweasels that passed this tripe should be, at least, looking for another job come

After hanging out on other people's blogs for two years (you know who you are) I decided to start my own. Here it is.Yes, I'm using ads. Clicking on ads will pay for necessary expendables- primarily, Mountain Dew.
