Strictly personal: Sadly, a good dog has been taken from a loving family down Texas way. RIP, Pup.

"Just a piece of paper"
Do you suppose Bush II actually said that?
Never mind. He's gone, replaced by worse.
I wonder what His Obamaness will have to say in about three weeks -- on Sept. 17 -- in commemorating the signing of the Constitution of the United States. I'm pretty sure he regards it as a starting point for negotiating his ambitions, but of course he can't say that, can he?

A Republic, Sir, if you can keep it.

Save the MSM, keep pot illegal
1. Using pot is usually one of the stupid things people do, and I personally oppose it.
2. This does not mean sucking a joint should be a matter of concern to our elected masters.
3. However, I must withdraw my endorsement of de-criminalizing pot use on grounds that it would destroy the news operation of a nearby radio station. The penny-ante pot busts are about all that happens within the station's reporting competence and/or journalistic ambitions
4. It is tempting to wheel out a line at the expense of the cops who get off on issuing these breathless press releases every time they find a kid with a baggie of ditch weed, but they are, in fact, doing what they're paid to do.

One shot
 |
| You begin with a $30 junker, sound but showing the scud of a half-century living on spikes driven into the barn beams and rattling around in trunks. Who knows what meals it put on a plank table? What thugs it deterred? It has earned its makeover. |
 |
| Just a couple of hours later you have a nice, clean handigun with an ideal barrel -- just long enough to be legal, plenty short enough to annoy Senator Harkin. The stock finish is Johnson's Paste Wax over the steel-wooled original. The metal is tacticool, smoothed with 100 emery and coated with flat black Krylon. Okay, it is still a $30 gun, but it's a non-ugly $30 gun of greater usefulness than before. It will probably live semi-permanently in the F150, along with the Cattaraugus 2250, a handful of 00 buck, and a box of No. 4s. |
