Got a question for you. I wasn't familiar with the Kershaw Tremor, so I had to look it up. That is a fairly heavy knife. I also noticed it has the same G10 scaling as the 350 and has a spring assist. You participated in the 350 pass-around. How does the speed assist compare on the Tremor to the ZT? A few of the guys in the plant where I work like the 350 I showed them, but $90 - 110 is still a lot of money for a knife for most people.

It looks like gun owners will be the losers in 2012

That would be a really s****y ticket. I hate to say that I would vote for it, but lets hope it never comes to fruition. -
I thought this was going to be some kind of joke. Wow.

I think it all depends on what knives you are looking at. Most of the knives I fool with have not dropped. In fact, some have skyrocketed in price. Some of the knives I bought early last year I can now make an excellent profit. For example, I bought my brand new CR Shadow IV from a CR authorized dealer and paid full retail, which was a little under $300. I would now have no problem getting over $400 for it.

Hey AR, I just ran across this article by Erick Erickson over at RedState. It is a great read on Santorum. What A Big Government Conservative Looks Like | RedState I would like to point out that Erickson hates Paul, and he doesn't like Romney either. I am glad Erickson wrote this article. I am by no means telling people they shouldn't vote for Santorum. If people like him, then by all means vote for him. However, people shouldn't claim he is something he is not. As I have stated in the past, I don't see a lot of difference between Santorum and Romney outside of Santorum being more socially conservative and more hawkish.

Get real. Your POTUS analogy is "way off base." Nice try though. As I stated in my post, the word "chief" is very common nomenclature when referring to heads of departments within the CIA. The head of the CIA is most commonly referred to as the CIA Director or just Director. For example, I pulled this job posting from the CIA's website The acronym "POTUS" refers to the President of the United States and in common usage it is never used for any other person. The reason I stated it is a little misleading is not everybody realizes that a CIA chief doesn't necessarily refer to the director. However, we have a video right below the title showing who the endorsee is and provides some of his background. Now, because we have video showing who it is and why he is endorsing Paul right below the title and as the original post, it is a "little" misleading. If this was a text transcript offering no additional information on the background of the endorsee then it would have been highly misleading even though it would not have been inaccurate. I know this hurts a lot of people who do not like Paul and think he is nuts on foreign policy. The only thing I can say is, sorry.

It is a little misleading, but it is not way off base. Michael Scheuer was indeed Chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station. There are many station chiefs within the CIA, and the use of the word chief is very common nomenclature. A more accurate title would have been, "Former Bin Laden Issue Station Chief endorses Ron Paul."

I am for multiple parties. However, multiple parties need to start and achieve success at the local and state level and then move to the federal level. That is the only way I can see how an effective multiple party system can be established. Trying to start at the very top and work your way down is the exact opposite of what is needed, and has the least probablity of success.

Lets set aside that argument. One thing that we do know Paul will do and doesn't need any approval from congress is dramatically reduce the overreach of the executive branch. Getting control of one branch of government is a positive move. I don't see any of the other candidates willing to reduce the power of the executive branch back to its constitutional limits.

You have listed just 5 of the original 17 you posted. Some of those are false, but for argument's sake let's say they are true. That is less than 30%. If you went down the original list you posted and see how Obama fairs on all of those points, I believe you would come up with 94%. I know I am not very intelligent since I am a Paul supporter, but I don't see how Soros could support a guy like Paul, who he is in agreement with on less than 30% of the issues, over Obama who he agrees with on 94% of the issues. 30 vs 94, hmmm. I am gonna have to really think about that one.

Yeah, neither of my Startacs have the disc. I think it ruins the appearance of the knife. I somewhat understand CRK's reasoning for the disc, but you would think they would have come up with something better than that. I say somewhat because I still don't understand why some people have trouble opening their Umnumzaan. I think it is way easier than the Sebe.

This is what I broke my resolution on. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Everyone has already seen my other Startac, so this is nothing new to post. The Starbenza is super sweet. If anyone is ever looking at getting a plain Sebenza 21, I would really consider looking at the Starbenza. It is double-lugged, and I like the pattern on the frame. It helps give you a really good grip on the knife. I did have one success though. One of the salesmen I work with offered to sell me his Breitling LE Skyland Avenger because he knew I wanted a black DLC watch. It was a very nice watch, but thankfully I passed. I would have enjoyed it, but then bitched for months about spending the money.

I can understand why some might not like Paul, but geeze, have you actually looked at what Paul has proposed under his domestic agenda? Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn't make such statements. There is not a single candidate running, outside of Johnson (who is running on the libertarian ticket), that comes even close to the aggressiveness of Paul's domestic agenda. Even Rush Limbaugh, who is no fan of Paul, said that Paul's plan is the type Republicans should be promoting. Let's see: 1. Paul proposes to cut $1 trillion the first year in office. 2. Paul proposes balancing the budget within the first three years of his presidency. The only other candidate even considering it is Perry, and his proposal is for having it done by 2020. 3. Paul proposes cuting the federal workforce by 10%. 4. Paul proposes repealing Obamacar, Sarbanes/Oxley, Dodd/Frank. 5. Paul proposes eliminating five cabinet level agencies. 6. Paul proposes lowering the coporate tax rate to 15%, abolish the death tax, end taxes on personal savings, no additional taxation on repatriated capital, etc... 7. Paul proposes canceling all previous executive orders which lead to ridiculous new regulations. If those aren't ideas for keeping the ship afloat, I don't know what is. Sarah Palin was talking the other day about how good Paul's fiscal proposals are, and how the GOP needs to take them serious. If Paul was more hawkish, the talk show media would be orgasmic over having such a good candidate. By making such statements you are insulting the intelligence of a lot of people who do support Paul and are not Paulbots or whatever they are called. All you end up doing is showing that an anti-Paulbot is just as bad as a Paulbot.

Congratulations. While it is very simple, I love the first pic. The expression of love and pride on your face is very warming.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps, you can pull up a video transcript on O'Reilly. I happened to catch a few minutes of his show last night, and this sniper was on there giving the same story to O'Reilly. One thing I found interesting was he told O'Reilly that he knocked Ventura to the ground and then ran off because cops were present. Now I am quite certain that everybody is going to disagree with me, but if I am going to punch someone in defense of another person's honor, sacrifice, and/or dignity, I am certainly not going to run off. I will stay put and let it be known why I did it and suffer any consequences that may follow.

The only downside to that is we are left with Mr. Gaffetastic.

I don't know about this one. Maybe. Tomorrow while I am at work I will get a Mt. Dew and titrate it for the amount of citric acid. While I wouldn't think it would be a lot, I am curious to know how much is in there. If there is enough citric acid, I could see it dissolving the bones of the rat, but I don't really think it would touch the tissue all that much. Citric acid just really isn't all that corrosive. I wonder how many grams of calcium are present in a small rodent. The reason I ask is as the citric acid is reacting with the calcium, the overall solution becomes less acidic thereby make a less corrosive environment.

$100,000,000 Mac, but yes, I would agree.

I will take as many brain dead voters as necessary to get BHO out of office.

If that is indeed true, that makes an excellent point for Paul being able to bring disgruntled voters from the other side. If that is the case, I would say that makes Paul the more electable of the other candidates running, which is eactly the opposite of what the right wing blogosphere and talk show mafia are saying. It is good to see you coming around.

Tiger Woods It appears that Tiger Wood's ex-wife bought a new $12 million dollar house and didn't like it for some reason, so she had it demolished. It is her money and she can do whatever she wants with it, but geeze.
