  1. That's a big deal if it's true. It's morally reprehensible. Turns my stomach to think about it.
  2. For those who are keeping up with this, here's Week 06 and 07, both a Democratic and Republican perspective. While I appreciate each of these speakers, like their modern parties, they both kind of let me down. Maybe it's too much to expect. Maybe they were just trying to tee it up for this week's non-participant: Kingdom Politics - Week 06 - How my faith led me to vote for Democrats http://player.vimeo.com/video/51225033 Kingdom Politics - Week 07 - How my faith led me to vote for Republicans http://player.vimeo.com/video/52016118
  3. Nice looking rail.
  4. It's kind of hinky, but here's one that's super-light. And can be a fishing pole, to boot. http://packrifle.com/products.asp
  5. I've got a little Rossi Combo that fits the bill nicely. The AR-7 is also a great choice. Truth be told, my Ruger MKIII gets called up to service most often in this role. Lightweight, suppressed with a mini red dot, it's a game getter.
  6. I think Romney did what he needed to do in the debates collectively. He appeared credible and Presidential. In that regard, the first debate probably mattered more than the other two combined.
  7. If it does well with the MatchKings, it will likely do equally as well with the equivalent weight GameKings. I shoot a fair number of both out of my 700LTR. Why take the chance? Load for a bullet you know is going to perform.
  8. While they certainly have their ideal operating parameters, I think pistol caliber carbines have a pretty established history of usefulness. MP5, Uzi, etc... A pistol caliber AR is interesting to a lot of people because it has a manual of arms that they're already pretty familiar with.
  9. They were both pretty funny. Obama was much funnier than he was four years ago. I don't know if anyone in recent memory has been as funny as John McCain was four years ago.
  10. I love the Magpul BSA targets. They're not particularly cheap or terribly expensive. $70/100. They must print them in bulk and sell them until they're out, because they don't always have them in stock. http://cdn.magpul.com/downloads/Magpul-Newsfeed-BSA%20Targets.pdf
  11. Do your mags drop free?
  12. As a forum, I thought it would be interesting to discuss thoughts on this video: It's from a TEDx event. It's 16 minutes long, but I doubt anyone will watch it and want their time back. I'll hold my thoughts until a couple of people weigh in.
  13. I had to click on the link because I didn't believe it. I stopped subscribing when they raised the price to $0.35 because I no longer felt like it was worth the paper it was printed on. It was a hesitant endorsement at best, but I feel like that's kind of where a lot of our nation is.
  14. That's only one of the crazy parts of this story. As it stands right now, 20 of 21 people on the podium between the years of 1999 and 2005 have been tied to doping through admissions, sanctions or failing tests. And it's not like it stopped when Armstrong left. In 2006, Floyd Landis was stripped of his title. In 2010, Alberto Contador was stripped of his. I think you may have an event where they don't have reassign a winner for those years.I love cycling, but haven't watched a single stage of the tour since 2006. I don't know if even this will be a big enough event to clean it up. It's disgusting, really.
  15. I think TGO should pull together a write in candidate to replace Harwell. We ought to be able to muster a respectable showing.
  16. This was being caused by one of the pictures that someone posted. Removed now.
  17. Probably my favorite Dilbert of all time
  18. The problem is that we've not really had an honest conversation about what "green energy" looks like. And, that has to start by stepping back a bit. I don't care how you frame it, battery powered tech isn't terribly green, nor is it expandable to fit the broader needs of our economy. Despite the seeming coolness of it, the mining, processing and manufacturing of batteries is dirty. Really dirty. At every single step. The VOCs emitted by an internal combustion engine over it's life cycle don't come anywhere close to the environmental damage of making the batteries to run one hybrid. And, that doesn't even factor in demand. We can keep up so long as only hippies who don't understand the concept of fungible commodities are buying them. But, the supply chain isn't very deep for heavy metals. There simply aren't enough of them out there to fill a wider demand.
  19. It's always easy to question the moderator, but she deserves the criticism she's going to get on siding with Obama and curtailing the debate on Benghazi. She may ultimately do the President more harm than good, though as this gives an opening to talk about what really happened. They only allowed Hillary to take ownership of it this morning, and that's after dodging questions for two weeks. Offended? The American people should be offended.
  20. It didn't seem like it. If you had asked me right after I would have said Romney talked for longer than the President. That alone probably indicates a stronger performance. It might have seemed that way, though because the cameras seemed to position Romney in front of the clock a lot more.
  21. If there's one thing I care about, it's that. Government at its very core is incapable of creating value. Period. I want a president that understands that.
  22. "The government does not create jobs. The government does not create jobs" Despite all the stuff I've said about Romney being a mediocre candidate, he just earned my vote.
  23. Finally a foreign policy question.
  24. That's cool. Pretty innovative on behalf of the kydex guy!
  25. They're one of the best scopes made. Their H59 reticle is an awesome piece of tech.
