The Granny What Big Eyes You Have Spotted spider

Many vets are coming home without arms, legs or the hope of good health care and the DoD is trying to decide if they should change their caps?  Not for nuthin', but ask the families of fallen heroes if they could use the $8 million more than the hatmakers. 

Dang!  But I'd rather wear a dunce cap than one of these lids.

If Obama gets his way, the Marine nickname of Jarhead is going to take on a new meaning. The prexy-in-chief has decided that the Leathernecks' dress hat should take on a unisex look. No word yet if the rifles will be pink.   http://nypost.com/2013/10/23/obama-wants-marines-to-wear-girly-hats/

Well, R.I.P. Mr. Adams.  You bought the old Houston Oilers in 1959 and got the first couple of AFL championships.  But then there was that long dry spell through the '60s waiting for big Super win, pumping Obamanian sums of money into a team that was always the bridesmaid and never the bride.  I was with you during the "Luv Ya, Blue" seasons when it looked like Bum Phillips and Dan Pastorini were finally going to take the Oilers all the way to the altar.  Alas,  it was not to be.  And after that horrible NFL title loss to Buffalo in 1993, when the Bills overcame a 32-point deficit to win  41–38 in the biggest comeback in NFL history, I certainly couldn't blame you for looking to the green hills of Tennessee for some fan comfort.  The Oilers had broken my heart too many times for me to protest.   You had to change the name and the colors to finally get into that Bowl against the Rams.  But dang,  who was the idiot who made the field 100 yards long, when 99 should be good enough?  But thanks again for the ride, Bud....you'll always be a Titan in my book.

Not only are powwows fun, they're very educational about the first nations people.  We used to visit friends of the Dakota tribe a few years back and learned that not only do they have a rich history, they are very patriotic.  Most Native Americans serve with honor in the armed forces since it appeals to their warrior traditions and their relationship to the land and its protection.  The regalia (don't call them costumes) the dancers wear have significance.  Your interest in the designs and decorations may earn you an explanation if you ask about their meaning respectfully.   On our very first South Dakota visit years ago, our friends invited us to join them at a memorial gathering for a member of a tribal family who had served in World War 2.  They danced and sang songs in the Dakota dialect about his exploits and honest character as a loving husband, father and devoted helper to the community.  It is the Dakota tradition to give gifts to those who attend the memorial as a token of their appreciation that you set aside time to come and honor their departed loved one.   Imagine our surprise when they called my wife and I to come forward and receive a handmade blanket and another expression of their gratefulness that we attended the service.  Through our friend, the family learned we were visiting and wanted to welcome us to their culture.  Their kindness was extremely significant because the family was not wealthy, but gave lavishly of what they had.  How many of us in the wasichu (white man) culture would do the same?

I've got a ways to go before I empty some powder cans, but I do want to work the stock down to about three basic powders.  I'm shooting Red Dot, Accurate No. 7 and Titegroup the most.  I did do a little organizing this weekend by installing shelves above my work bench in the man cave.  The wife's idea, of course.

Garufa's telling it like it is.  Bersa's .22 can be picky.  It shot CCI high velocity and Remy GBs with good consistency and occasionally I could get a magazine full Federal Auto Match through it.  As I recall, it liked Aguila high velocity, too.  Save your other .22 fodder for revolvers, lever and bolt actions, or semis that aren't that choosy.

Parts of this "Standing Up For Tennessee" campaign ad now needs a re-write:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POv8mvjfnds

  Well, somebody's gotta help the illegals with their luggage.       I've started composing my letter to these august Tennessee statesmen.  Something along the lines of, "You've now made your political bed, but remember it's in a hotel room, not a permanent home.  Checkout time won't come soon enough."

Like all of you, I'm worried that this will happen if we don't get government back open and raise the debt ceiling: [url=http://s20.photobucket.com/user/norsseman/media/Humor__%20etc/jj___WH_zpsa1abcc45.jpg.html][/URL]

Love this photo.   http://weaselzippers.us/2013/10/13/developing-veterans-storm-washington-d-c-vetmarch/

  Dang!  Ya mean it's faked?  I guess the only show left on TV that's for real is WWE rasslin'.  God help us if that ever goes phoney.

Maybe it's not so far-fetched after all.   http://weaselzippers.us/2013/10/09/dem-rep-sheila-jackson-lee-says-martial-law-is-needed-to-reopen-the-government/

Old folks like me shit ourselves without seeing anything in particular.

Major tinfoil hat time......according to this European online newspaper, the stakes are about to be raised.   http://www.eutimes.net/2013/10/pentagon-warns-to-expect-radical-change-in-us-government-soon/?fb_action_ids=10201085422110348&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map={%2210201085422110348%22%3A201485813369535}&action_type_map={%2210201085422110348%22%3A%22og.likes%22}&action_ref_map=[]

As usual, feel bad story is sure to follow the feel good story. According to some bastard at the Parks Service, an Ohio veterans' honor flight group will face arrest if they visit the memorial:   http://www.northwestohio.com/news/story.aspx?id=953619#.UkuNqxbw6xJ   And, as usual, the regime is all about control--not safety.   http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/01/obama-admin-knew-about-wwii-veterans-request-and-rejected-it/

I don't normally listen to or quote Sarah Palin, but this gem fell out of her mouth last night on Hannity: “President Obama, a couple of weeks ago when he was hell-bent on dropping bombs on Syria, he said America doesn’t do pinpricks. Well, we don’t do pinpricks, but sometimes we elect them.”

If I hear, "Obamacare is the Law of the Land..." just one more time!  So is immigration enforcement, the national budget, the Second Amendment, and the safeguard of taxpayers' money.  And by the way, just because Prez Zero "won the election," he still is only one-third of the republic--for which he doesn't stand.

  I blame the wife.....if it wasn't for those blasted bran muffins of hers, I might have been there years ago.  :waiting:

  Oh, but He has!  More like billions, since Calvary.

There are only two spiritual positions in the Bible:  You either belong to God or you belong to the devil,  just as you are either alive or you are dead.  Where you spend eternity is based upon that relationship at the time of your death.  There is no neutral ground.  God offers grace to everyone to come to Him through the covenant He made with mankind by His Son, Jesus Christ.  You may take it or leave it, but keep in mind that this is the only choice one has.  You belong to the devil by default and your only option is the one which God offers.    Keep in mind that God by definition is sovereign.  He does as He pleases and decides what will happen and when.  We can wonder why God does things or even accuse Him for the things he allows, but he is not looking for our counsel, unless of course we are members of His family and He hears our prayer requests.  He is under no obligation to to bless those outside of His covenant relationship, just as anyone would not be responsible to look out for anyone outside of his family.  But because "God is love," as it says in the Bible, He extends mercy and grace to draw people into relationship with Him, by far the most rewarding association you will ever have or experience.   I'm betting that God has given this perp another opportunity to wise up.  I hope for his sake he takes it.

  Trouble is, a lot of Democrats might be thinking of helping them out.  What we need is a closed primary law between now and then.

  Not too bad.  Fortunately it was fresh water.  I estimate it had been submerged only a couple of months.  After the trade, the dive master cleaned it up and said it shot pretty well.  He was only going to shoot .38s through it as a precaution.

A punk walks in to a McDonalds and asks for a cup of water. But then he whips out a pistol and pulls the trigger several times at customers and employees. No bangs. He walks outside and successfully fires a few rounds into the air and at a passing car. Back inside, the gun fails to fire again. His mother tells cops later that she was praying for him. You decide.   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/09/26/prayer-credited-for-preventing-mass-shooting-after-would-be-robbers-gun-behaved-in-very-mysterious-ways-at-mcdonalds/
