Toward a badder Constitution
I would take a stab at Ruth Bader-Ginsberg's lust to simply scrap the Constitutuon and replace it with one like, for instance, Mexico's. But ASM826 -- Random Acts of Patriotism -- has pretty well nailed it. Recommended reading.
Heckler and Kock malfs
Maybe the H&K geniuses sold too many plastic P30s to Greece, nothing down, pay as you shoot.
Or maybe something else made Moody's cut the HK credit rating to to Caa2/negative outlook. In English, that means buying into HK is about as safe as loaning money to your brother-in-law who plans to get rich with a Peoria worm farm.

The same link gets you to the latest on Smith& Wesson's most recent rifle recall.
Any wonder some of us still prefer steel weapons built before Doris Day became a virgin?

What a sexy night it was
Santorum won big on purity platform. "God tells me that you must never wear a condom."
He was running against an Obama position. "Rubber it up, sucka. Don't sweat the money. Your homies gonna pay the drug store."
It's the battle of the Trojan Whores.

Geeky Malevolent Vampires
If you need someone to troubleshoot an SPS-10 radar, I'm you're man. Filament voltages checked and six-pound capicitors cheerfully replaced. I'll even climb the mast for preventive maintenance on the antenna and wave guide.
More lately, I have determined that modern electronic malfunctions are best thought of as supernatural phenomena.
When my iBook came home from the shop, the fresh hard drive corrected most problems, I assume because Rick's Computers down in Danbury has a pretty good -- but not perfect -- voodoo kit. The old gal was smokin' hot on the web, but the Safari email program was still croaked.
After a week of messing with it to no avail I dripped a little fresh chicken blood on the keyboard and the GMVs fled. All is well, and I am serene. Some might argue that downloading the latest Safari "fix" from Apple contributed to the solution. Maybe, but I remain skeptical.

I don't expect anyone to be very interested in Cold-War era radar, but it's almost worth clicking the link just for an example of perfectly true but quite meaningless statements:
"The SPS-10 surface search radar had a shorter range than other shipboard radars."
Duhhh. The only other common ship radar was for air search, aimed higher and looking for higher targets.
