Hope and change.

Paul Ryan hands Obama's ass to him

Paul Ryan continues to impress!

I'm waiting to hear that he eat babies, because once they start attacking him personally, we'll all know he has become a viable candidate.

From Know Your Meme, which is a great site to go to if you're not at work, and don't want to stifle laughter for hours at a time until everyone looks at you, and asks what you're looking at, and I have to make something up because I know they won't get it.

Personal day

One of those days where there are specific reasons why you need to go to work, and you know that not going in will only cause more work for your later, but some part of me completely refused to go, no matter the consequences.

One of those days.


I'll probably just wind up running errands today, but I just can't go in today.

FEMA instructor says founding fathers were terrorists

Or, so the video says.

Can't find anything else about this, or any indication that this guy is from FEMA, but that's what the video title says.

Don't terrorists need to attack civilian targets to be called terrorists? The point is to terrorize the populus, right? Legitimate military targets do not a terrorist make.

This video shows a severe misunderstanding of the word "terrorist."

But that wouldn't be the first time, would it?

Business paperwork reveals the idiocy of California's management

Since California is running out of money, they've started furloughing state workers from many agencies. Usually closing down the agency or office two Fridays a month.

While the furloughs are necessary as a cost-cutting measure, there are still some politics to be played with the furloughs.

By purposely making the furloughs take place on services the tax-paying public uses (park management, DMV, etc) they can make the furloughs more visible to the public, in order to remind them that if they want to continue using these services unfettered, they should approve the tax increases they failed to pass previously.

But true to California form, there had to be a way to mess this up.

They furloughed the state franchise tax board.

The arm of the state government that processes a large amount of the income that comes into the state has to be closed twice a month because they're not getting enough income in.

I swear, if California was in charge of providing the state with fresh air, we'd all have suffocated long ago.


Well, we ARE running out of water...

DIY Cardboard Rabbit Toy

It's a few strips and squares of cardboard assembled so it is a rough sphere on the edges. The result is a cardboard assembly that can roll roughly, and easily be moved around by your rabbit, while being a toy it can safely chew on.

Be sure to remove any tape or other materials from the cardboard before you use it.

Tweet your Starbucks support

I just Tweeted my Starbucks support.

http://twitpic.com/13jgf7 Starbucks BUYcot for open carry support! +$9.15

I just came back from Starbucks, showing my support, and realized that companies like Starbucks track social networking sites like Twitter. So Tweet your support of Starbucks with your receipt!

If you choose not to participate in this social networking silliness, save your receipt, and e-mail a picture/scan of it, or snail mail the actual receipt to them with a note of support!

Give them some actual dollars and cents of value for their support of Open Carry!

Feb 21st is Starbucks Appreciation Day for gun rights supporters!

I said earlier that we need to support Starbucks' refusal to bend to the will of the Brady Campaign with our money, but this idea is even better!

Therefore I would like to announce that one week from today on Sunday February 21 gun owners should have a Starbucks Appreciation Day.

I would like to suggest we do this without an overt display of firearms. Our message of Starbucks Appreciation will be overshadowed by the known presence of firearms if we make having a firearm on our person the point of the message. Let's keep it simple and let the barista and manager know why we're making a purchase that day.

You can get the message across just as well by saying something like:

Please know I'm here because firearm owners across the country want to show Starbucks our appreciation for your decision not to ostracize customers who own and carry guns.

I'm going to be consuming Starbucks products on a regular basis now and would like for other gun rights supporters to do the same. But next Sunday we should make a point of telling them why and explicitly telling them thank you.

I think it's important that you tell the manager if you can.

Get the word out!

I'll be there! Will you?

Some Tombstone memories

I was digging through cold storage, and found some old pics from Tombstone Paintball.

I like this shot because it looks like I'm in a third-person shooter.


These kinds of hits are acceptable. It's the hits in the areas you are not supposed to expose for a shot (chest, stomach, knee, shin, ass) that are bad.

Me and the wife. I was watching the last row of bunkers for an opening. When I saw one, she gave me covering fire while I ran up and bunkered the last bunch of players. I took out four before I got shot out.
