Damn damn damn damn DAMN!

Kim du Toit is dropping his Daily Rant. He'll still be doing a weekly rant, but the man has a lot on his plate, including working from home and home-schooling his kids, all while writing a novel (or two). Go wish him good luck.

On a happier note, our pals over at Random Nuclear Strikes have been working on a project site called The Bellicose Women's Brigade.

Following the events of September 11th, 2001, University of Tennessee Law Professor Glenn Reynolds coined the phrase "Bellicose Women's Brigade" in an attempt to describe the shift in attitude towards self defense that many of his female readers were experiencing. We have attempted to embrace that change in attitude here at BWB, and strive to provide information on self defense to women who are interested in learning how to protect themselves

Oh yeah. If you're a woman who wants to learn how to shoot a gun and protect yourself, it's well worth the time to go read through the site.

Also from RNS, Analog Kid has the lowdown on the homeless people sob stories. Just to warn you, do NOT go there if you don't want your pre-concieved notions shattered. I deal with homeless people on a daily basis, and I found myself nodding my head and going "Yep, that's it in a nutshell".

Whew... looks like Tim and I are on a roll here today!
