I love how you'll be watching a movie that takes place in Chicago or NY City, and a cop pats down a thuggish citizen and finds a gun. The citizen says "I've got a permit for that", adn the cop lets them go. I always laugh because I know full well there is no way that could be true. I'm certain this is why most people think you have to have a permit for a gun.

AND, even if it did turn around after years or decades, the SCOTUS Judges rarely if ever overturn a ruling by a previous court. So any rulings that a left leaning court ruled on would likely remain forever.

I think the law says its illegal if you deface a bill with the intent to make it unusable, or alter it's value. A slogan or picture in an inconspicuous area would probably not break that law. That said, I don't know how effective it would be either. I mean really, how often have you received a $2 bill in change. So, you would get the bills from the bank, mark them, use them at the store, where the clerk doesn't have time to look at it, and probably puts it under the till because there is no slot in the register for the $2 bill, then the bills get bagged up and sent right back to the bank. The bank may reissue it to someone who requests it, or they may see the markings and send it back to the reserve to be destroyed. Regardless, it's not going to get much circulation.

My question is, why did the arm fall off? They used guns to kill all the Walkers. They didn't hack any of them up, except the Mom who got a sycle through the head, not the arms. The arm was attached to the Walker when it got shot. Maybe I'm over thinking it.

Seriously? You think I'm not smart enough to just buy two of the smaller ones? So now, instead of buying the 250 calorie big bar, I'll just get two of the 150 calorie bars, for a 50 calorie increase. Brilliant! I'm sure Mars thought of this too. They can now sell two bars, make more money, and blame it on Michelle.

If I find some big guy aggressively arguing with MY pregnant wife, I'm pushing him away too. Sorry, I side with and protect my wife every time. What really sucks is the husband got arrested for battery. If I was the cop and had time to cool down, I don't think I would have pressed those charges. If I was the cop's boss, I think I would have recommended he not press those charges. There's no way it can go good for him when a jury finds out the husband was protecting his wife who was expecting any day.

They've been talking about this guy on Fox News the last few days. Seems that several years ago, he was a staunch conservative, railing against the evil Clintons.Now he is a die hard liberal and Fox is the evil foe. He was straight, now he is gay. He did a stint in the looney bin (so he probably couldn't get a carry permit), and a lot of his ideas come from conspiracy theories. Sounds like he is seriously bi-polar, may even have a bit of schizophrenia.

Has anybody ever seen $1 bills marked with a Where's George stamp? They usually say something like "www.wheresgeorge.com currency tracking program", and the words are formed in a circle around the seal. If something like this were done to mark the $2 bill with some pro 2nd amendment phrase, it might be worthwhile. Otherwise people would just go "Huh, a $2 bill, neat"

Nope, clearly gun bans are working, as indicated by the fact that the robber didn't use one. It's quite obvious that we aren't doing enough to support the down-trodden, otherwise this poor misguided individual would not have been forced into a life of crime. It certainly was not his fault. </sarcasm>

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/guns/2012/feb/8/miller-emily-got-her-gun/ It only took several months and several hundred dollars, but Emily finally got her gun! All I can say is DC is messed up. Like she says in her article, a criminal can get a gun in a few minutes with no paperwork, but Law-abiding citizens have to take a five-hour class that is only taught outside of the District, pay $465 in fees, sign six forms, pass a written test on gun laws, get fingerprinted, be subject to a police ballistics test and take days off work. Here is the link to her blog site with all of the articles: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/guns/

First house I ever bought, we looked at the house, looked at it again, drove around the neighborhood a couple of times, and decided to buy it. We went to the Realtor's office and put down our earnest money, which was a lot for us at the time, then we decided to take one more drive past the house that was soon to become ours. That is when we realized that the airport was due east of the house, and the flight-path for the big 747's was directly over my next door neighbor's house. We could practically see the people looking out of the windows of the plane. It was a big disappointment, but we learned to live with it. We had fun with it sometimes. They were very loud, and sometimes set off peoples car alarms. Always made phone calls and watching TV interesting. Occasionally if the wind was wrong, the planes would take off in our direction instead of landing, which made it 10 times louder. We always joked that it was because Donald Trump was in town, and he lived on the other side of the airport from us.

Tax lien auctions are a great way to get real estate on the cheap, but there are some gotchas. First of all, the current owners, the ones who didn't pay the tax, have a whole year to try and wrangle up the money to pay you back and clear their name. They have to pay you back what you bought it for plus some percentage on top of that. Meanwhile, they get to live in or use the property for that whole year. So, even if you get paid back, you get interest on your money, and it's a win for you. For land, no problem, but if it's a house you want to use for rentals or for your own residence, they could pretty much destroy it before you legally get to take possession. Even so, if you paid $10,000 for the house, the land is probably going to be worth that, so, you'll probably come out ahead, but it could be frustrating. And getting them to actually move out may involve an officer. Still, it could be a great investment, if you have the year to wait.

I had a '72 Ford Pinto. My dad bought it for me for just a few hundred bucks, and thought that it would keep me out of trouble by keeping me in the garage. Backfired on him because other than an oil leak, the car ran great. I'd put oil in it when I put gas in it, and it kept on running. The car had an AM radio that someone had added some kind of FM receiver add on. You had to tune it to a certain AM channel and turn on the FM receiver. IT also had an 8-track player on a separate system, with separate speakers. You could play the radio and tapes at the same time. And this one never exploded

I made it too. Very nice. Pages seem to load very quickly.

Article says the ad will call for a crackdown on illegal sales of guns. Hmm, didn't Bloomberg have his guys go out an illegally buy a bunch of guns? Maybe he should start the crackdown by arresting himself. Also says the ad will only run regionally, not nationally. Probably didn't want to spend all that money on a national ad, when a bunch of people from places like Tennessee would just laugh at it.

Floyd would be my first pick to see live. I had an opportunity to see them after their last studio album. Money was tight back then and I didn't go. I kick myself all the time over that. I always thought Pink Floyd was "too big to fail" and would be around forever. I still have hopes that the band will patch it up with Waters and reunite (minus Richard Wright, of course). I know, I don't live in reality. I think I read an interview with Gilmour, who said the band is done. I've seen Rush several times too. they always put on a good show. Jethro Tull is another one that, while their albums were fantastic, the live shows were even better. Other groups I wish I had seen before they were gone: Led Zeppelin The Who Rolling Stones. I'm not a huge fan, I like them OK, but their live shows are great.

Thanks, PM inbound. It was a couple of recipes I found on the Web, and just used the 100% real, frozen grape juice concentrate containers from the grocery store. I think the first one was 2 containers of concentrate and 1 cup of sugar, the second recipe was 1 container of concentrate and 2 cups sugar. Both were done in 1 gallon water jugs, with enough water to fill it up after the juice and sugar were added. I used special wine making yeast from the wine making supply store in town. Of the two recipes, the one with more sugar went crazy, fermenting really fast for about a week, then slowed down to a slow bubble for another three weeks or so and then stopped. The other recipe bubbled at a steady pace for about 6 weeks. I really need to start again. I don't have a good place to keep it other than my unfinished basement, and it gets cold down there, which I understand is not good for the fermentation process. Once spring rolls around, I'll probably start up again. I went to the used book store and found a wine making book. It has several recipes in the back. Most of them are pretty involved, using real fruit, or other natural ingredients, like flowers, or honey. Right now I need to keep it simple. I may try some of the concentrate they sell at the wine making store. It's enough for 5 gallons I think.

I tried it a few months ago. Just made some HOBO wine from fruit juice concentrate. We bottled it up in November. I tasted a little bit of it while I was siphoning it into the bottles. It was not very tasty, and burned in my stomach. I'm hoping that after it sits for 6 months it will be better, but I have a feeling I will be disappointed. I have a buddy who is pretty good at it. He is going to have me come over the next time he makes a batch so I can learn from him. The whole process is pretty cool though. I love watching it bubble up during fermentation.

I was living and working in Boynton Beach, FL, which is just south of West Palm Beach. Even though we were 200 miles south of the launch, on a clear day we could easily see the rocket glare and the vapor trails. We almost always stepped outside to watch it live, so we knew what a normal launch looked like. I knew immediately that this was not a typical launch. I will never forget the way the vapor trail broke off into a Y shape. Very sad day in American history.

I got my renewal notice in the mail about three months before my permit expired. I mailed it right in and got it back about two weeks later. Best way to go.

MILLER: I bought a gun, but... - Washington Times Here's another entry in Emily's blog about her quest to get a gun in DC. She's jumped through all their hoops and done everything by the (not very well written) book, adn finally ordered her gun. But it's not over yet. There are more fees to pay, and tests to take before she can claim the gun she bought and paid for. Unbelievable!

To me, they always seem so amature-ish. Every week it's the same thing: We got this gun we're going to build, we got a strict timeline, and something goes wrong. It's always a last minute rig job at the range to get it working. I know that part of it is the drama factor, but if it were my company and I was trying to sell guns, I'd want to look like I absolutely knew what I was doing. Looks like this season we're going to have the love story angle too, what with the "Family arm band, made from Wil's own hands". Puleeeze.

If that had happened to my son, my new hobby would have been sitting in front of the store on weekends with a sign that said, "My son got fired for having cancer". Then once I was there, I call a news station or two. If the manager came out and said he could have his job back I'd tell him to get lost.

Go to the police department, which is where you have to pay and get a key. They have maps they can give you to get the rest of the way. Here is where the police station is: Google Maps
