Our Keynesian President

Though I did attend and volunteer for an August 28th rally by The Mall, I most certainly did not attend to this one. But at least I'm glad that he's not Austrian. Boq

Now, as the grognards will attest (in case you still haven’t figured out how to tell just when I am and when I’m *not* pulling your leg), the Singer Sewing Machine Company *did*, in fact, produce a bunch of M1911A1 pistols for the Army in 1940. What the grognards sometimes overlook is that the Singer Sewing Machine Company manufactured more Singer Sewing Machine Company-manufactured Singer Sewing Machines than Singer Sewing Machine Company-manufactured M1911A1s.I will attempt to rectify...

Gun *** two days in a row!

Will the excitement *ever* cease? It's late 50's/early 60's week at the Arsenal.Replica M14E2 squad automatic. Made from a semi-auto M1A with a military stock (can't get those anymore, they're all gone), bipod and flash hider. Be warned however - do not do this to your M1A (or clone of same) unless you *know* it's a pre-ban or post-ban built receiver. If your receiver was built during the period of the "assault weapon ban" - it is illegal to dress it up so that it...

Today's Medal of Honor Moment for 20 September

There were 12 Medals awarded for actions on this day in history. Eight during the Civil War, one during WWII, two for Korea, and one earned in Vietnam. The Civil War opens with a Medal earned before there was a Medal (the Medal being authorized in July of 1863). It was earned just down the road from where I live, in Lexington, Missouri in 1861 at the Batte of the Hay (well, actually, Hemp) Bales, followed by one at Shepherdstown Ford in 1862. They are followed by 5 more Medals for Chickamauga in...

Have a nice break, Mr Obama...

Um, Pardon me, Mr. President - didn't you just recently aver that the soldiers in Afghanistan are "fighting for me." As in you, personally, because, like, well, you're the Commander in Chief and all. My simple caveman brain then reasons thusly - If they're fighting for you, they're dying for you, too. At your behest, by your order. I know, you have a tough job. You need the rest. So you're sending the Second Team to cover for you at Arlington , so that you can properly...

It is the disposition of the thought...

...that altereth the reality of the thing. John Lyly said that, in Euphues, The Anatomy of Wit, in1579. It came to mind (yes, snippets like that actually do come to mind at times) as I observed this bit of written buffoonery from Frank Rich, writing, where else, in the New York Times.This uptick in the radical right predates the health care debate that is supposedly inspiring all the gun waving. Nor can this movement be attributed to a stepped-up attack by Democrats on this crowd’s holy Second...

Wednesday, Bloody Wednesday

The MSM is reporting casualties in the hundreds from the VBIEDs, but two of the cadets with relatives in Baghdad say over a thousand people have been admitted to or treated and released from the local hospitals. One of them in particular should know -- his wife works in one of them.The small bright spot is that security forces stopped one of the car bombers before he and his fellow suicider could make it to their target -- the police at one particular checkpoint did everything by-the-book and captured...

Whatever happened...

...to standards? And pride? Much less leadership? From the WaPo: Secret Service agents on Obama detail sent home from Netherlands after night of drinking I don't really blame Obama on this (though he could fix it pretty quickly, should he want to exercise himself on it) - this is squarely on the shoulders of the leadership of the Secret Service. Who clearly have not cleaned up from the Colombia fiasco. Over on Facebook, someone basically said this was just Bush's fault - the SS developed...
