Thank You

I know that blogging has been light lately. While you're being patient and waiting for me to come up with something intelligent to say, please go and watch this video at youtube. H/T to the Rott.

Another new link

I have added Banagor, The Imperial Paladin to the blog roll. His is another thoughtful blog that I think you will enjoy.

Something New

I hope that you will notice a new link in the sidebar. I saw it over at Kim du Toit and I read it over and I like the thoughtfulness of the writings there so I added it. Please visit often.

What this country needs...

Is some commonsense shopping cart control. Read this. H/T to KABA

I saw this over at Kim du Toit. I happen to agree with it wholeheartedly.

The toughest thing you'll read today

This is a very unpleasant thought. It was really hard to read. Unfortunately, it happens to be true and it was necessary to write. It's a great essay that I got from Blackfive, written by Grim. Don't just go crazy when you read it, stop and think about it for a moment. He's right. It's a terrible thought, in the short term, but he's right. Americans are conditioned not to harm women and children. The thought of it makes us recoil in horror. That is exactly what the jihadi's want. That's why they hide behind the children. We don't like to think about it, but we're going to have to kill some children to finally, really stop the terrorists.

I know you don't like it. I didn't like it. But he's right.

For all the good it did

Here's a story about the "crime emergency" the Washington DC enacted last month (still in effect by the way). Yeah, big deal. I love this line:

Police statistics for last month, which tallied 3,042 crimes, are nearly identical to those for July 2005, which numbered 3,034 crime

You may notice that nearly identical is higher. Crime in the Nation's Capital is on the rise but, law abiding citizens can't own guns to protect themselves. Yeah, it's workin out real well isn't it? In my most humble opinion, and one that I am most certain that Emperor Misha would agree with, this nation needs to do 2 things very quickly.

1. National Concealed Carry and a universal castle doctrine so that law abiding citizens may protect themselves wherever they may roam.

2. We need to let Darwin have his way. The laws were written to protect the stupid people, if we can eliminate them, well, it's called survival of the fittest for a reason sweetheart. The gene pool needs a big shot of chlorine.

More North of the Border Fun

Apparently, this Canadian type person thinks he has an answer to the violence in the mideast. Here's his idea give it a read. Do take a moment to remember how well this idea is working in the rest of the world. H/T No Quarters.

Yep, Gun ban works just fine

NOT! Take a peek at this article and decide for yourself how much good gun bans do. Then, of course, feel free to write your congresscritter and demand an explination.
