  • Michael Caine on how to save England

    Michael Caine has a new movie out called Harry Brown about a crusty old Brit who has had enough of the drugged-out violence and starts whacking bad guys. Unsurprisingly he has caught a fair ration of shite about that from the same weak-kneed, spineless...

  • Chicago cop & Iraq war vet killed....in Chicago

    This is just sad. A Chicago police officer who had just come back from a tour in Iraq gets shot and killed outside his own house. A 30-year-old Chicago police officer who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq was shot and killed when several people...

    Adding to the dogpile, I wrote this little piece for the American Security Council Foundation website a month or two ago. Representative Sestak's win in the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania for the senate seat up for grabs this November has brought...

  • The Battle of Another Gun...

    Let me start out this post by just saying this. Never, not once, dirty, clean, dusty, snowy, muddy, wet or dry did my M-4 fail to go "BOOM" when I pressed the "BOOM" switch. It never jammed, double fed, stove piped or just went "CLICK...

    RE: DHS Memo Veterans Are Right Wing Extremists RE: Unprovoked Discrimination Against Veterans While Mayor Bloomberg was looking for a Tea Party bomber, it turns out that the Times Square bomber was from the Religion of Peace. The New York Times reports...

  • The system did not work

    Let me be perfectly clear, the system did not work.....again. Shahzad was not stopped before he could try to blow up Times Square; he was simply to stupid to build a working bomb, even after receiving training. The only thing we have to be happy about...
