It seems one of the endless number hoplophobic groups of anti-gun bigots is proposing to hijack Valentines Day to boycott Starbucks for not discriminating against law-abiding gun-owning customers and shoving them to the back of, if not entirely off, the bus.I propose a rather different message - rather than a message of resentment, bigotry and hatred of those more petite, less able, more fragile

It's that time again. Time to contemplate the lessons of past years, combine them with hopes for the future, and distill a few resolutions from the mix - things to do or do better and perhaps a few new adventures to explore.On the personal side...Based on the last few years adventures, I need to adhere more closely to "if it makes me giggle, it's probably a bad idea".

Well, it's not the simple debate either side claims. To clarify, two questions:1) Under what circumstances and conditions is it justifiable to take a human life?2) When does human life begin?Traditionally, inconvenience/poor timing/negligence and "I don't wanna" have not been acceptable standards for killing someone.

There's a big stink on Fox as to why Media Matters remains a tax-exempt (501(c)3) organization seeing as they've "declared war" on Fox. The answer really isn't that complex, and I think it's fair to say Fox's coverage of this is a tad artful...but then again, Media Matters *has* declared war on Fox.One might say that if you declare war on the big kids, you've got to expect to take some lumps.For

It is so seldom, but when there is so much fallacy, before one can really begin one must pause to count the ways a single article can be wrong, and perhaps even duplicitous.

The history of "gun control" in New England is fraught with

You know, sometimes it's easier to read the tea leaves than others. When a nation is so very screwed up it engages in vendetta-style raids against those trying to tell the truth about that nations economy, and predict said nations credit-worthiness based on their best understanding? Yep, that nation is well and truly screwed, and merits immediate de-rating as force is now triumphing over law.

Oleg Volk, as usual, makes an insightful point or two, and the Financial Times offers an interesting viewpoint. And then we have Winston Smith, offering a view from the British common subject. I might as well chime in with my own oddball

Mordor (known to the less perceptive as Illinois), is the leading candidate for that distinction after years of not only being run as the personal fiefdom of the Daley clan and their assorted minions.

As discussed here previously, Officer Daniel Harless (with 16 Internal Affairs complaints since 2000 according to the local Canton rag) of the Canton, OH Police Department was very naughty indeed a few weeks back - and horror of horrors, not just word of the naughtiness leaked, but so did video. His partner, Mark Diels, was only marginally less naughty in failing to intervene when Harless went

For whatever reason, it seems that over-aggressive officers are turning up more and more often - whether this is simply because of new technology exposing a long-term problem or because there are more bad cops out there, or both...some of these REALLY need the light of day shined brightly upon them...in some instances followed by multiple legal air strikes.This, my friends, is one of THOSE cases.

You can even try and enforce it.You may, however, get unexpected results.See: CaliforniaIf you make things unpleasant enough, businesses move or shut down...or their vendors cut them off. They refuse to build new or expand operations in your region.Something about not being captives to be milked for cash. You can tax, but there exists a threshold beyond

The government of the State of California and its many subordinate jurisdictions and agencies CAN collapse in a heap of smoking rubble.When an entity (public or private) spends more than it takes in, makes every effort to drive revenue sources away, and is de-rated by every reputable credit agency - and then tries to pay its' debts with irredeemable promissory notes....soon or late, folks catch

Some days, it's easier to just shrug and assume our nation is spiraling towards fragmentation and civil war at best...and suffering our fundamental principals to go whimpering into the night without even the courtesy of a token resistance at worst.Seems the D.C. City Government isn't really hip on open meetings...or freedom of the press...or...And worse yet, D.C. Police are supporting this

I first wrote this in 2008 in this blog, and have written similar articles five or six times since 1996. I'm re-editing this a bit, and cutting out some dated material not relevant to the present...However, having staggered across a post in a blog I read fairly regularly (a now-vanished post) gently deriding Pride as counterproductive and continuing with the "why can't they just keep it in

Equality before the law, a funny sort of thing, grinds slowly forward - and to my associate on Facebook who asked "State by State? How's that gay marriage thing working out for you?" ...my answer is pretty damned well.It's not been all roses and sunshine, certainly, but beginning in the dark days of 1993 (well, more the light gray days, really...'93 was still a screaming improvement over

No matter the group you are involved with, there will be those that vastly disappoint. And those, having vastly disappointed, try and trumpet their twit-hood as some kind of bizarre virtue.A case in point, Breda-Gate.A blogger, gunmart (link intentionally not provided) decided he needed some traffic, or thought he was being funny, or both.

In Texas, legislators tried to take a stand during their regular session, criminalizing the searches without probable cause using either backscatter radiation devices or the enhanced "fondle-searches" where TSA agents are instructed to be especially offensive - apparently in order to "teach the proles a lesson".Such a bill, if passed, would obviously have national impact.The bill advanced, only

Founded on a idealistic dream (like most utter disasters), on July 5th of 1948 Britain's National Health Service launched a hugely ambitious plan to bring good healthcare to all at the cost of abolishing provider independence.Hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, opticians and dentists were brought together under a single bureaucratic empire to provide services without charge to all,

If you hate the country that much, you are more than welcome to get your goodies together and get out.For most of us, "that anybody can be President" is rather a point of national pride. If you can get enough folks to vote for you (and meet the other requirements) it doesn't matter if you're Dem/GOP/Differently Pigmented/Male/Female/Gay/Straight/etc - if you get those votes, you get to be

You know, it's oddly satisfying when you discover that someone you've long assumed was an unethical SOB (note, ethical standards may vary from person to person)...is, in fact, a demonstrably unethical SOB.Thank you, for that moment of satisfaction, American Entertainment Industry!

More and more, out there amongst the voters, the notion that the "War on Drugs" is a counter-productive tragi-comedy accomplishing only the massive over-funding of violent black-marketeers and the incremental obliteration of civil rights is becoming increasing obvious to all but the very most oblivious.A Craigslist ad like this might just be a hint to the electeds that they've ridden this

At this point, I think we've all heard of the killing of Jose Guerena (also here, from ABC News)by members of the Pima County Sheriff's SWAT team (under the top quality supervision of one Sheriff Joe Dupnik - here, here, here, etc).In light of the changing story (first Guerena fired a weapon, then he didn't; then the weapon was found feet away, on safe; next?) one is almost forced to wonder about

We hear a lot from the whole "guns are icky" crowd in the media, in the upper reaches of many large (and eastern, mostly) police departments, and from the deeply misguided anti-human-rights sorts over at the VPC and the Brady Crowd.It's a little more unusual to see a New York rag doing a mostly favorable story (if you cut through the patronizing terminology) on the increased involvement of women

I generally support the nice folks with the flashy lights, badges, and guns that in general make my little world a safer and better place at significant risk to themselves.That said, the very nature of the position is such that occasional lampooning is *also* to the benefit to society (if only so folks don't take themselves over-seriously and become over-serious robotic by-the-book rule-followers

Thomas Jefferson, one of the firmest proponents of the First Amendment amongst the founding fathers, has a wee memorial in Washington, D.C. This memorial is of some public note.From what I know of Adam Kokesh, I doubt I'd much like the man. I think it a fair bet that I'd disagree with him roughly as often as he opened his bone-headed yap. That said, our freedom of speech (and the implied freedom
