Solomonia is right on the money about why our actions in the Middle East are working.

By now you should know that Ohio has joined the ranks of the constituionally sane. Say Uncle reports that Kansas might be next. Here's a money quote:

Ruff, who is married to a Leavenworth police officer, said most law enforcement officials supported allowing law-abiding citizens to have concealed weapons.

She said safeguards would be built into the bill that would require Kansans to receive training and undergo background checks before they could be eligible for a gunholders' permit.

Ruff said she had no desire to carry a weapon and was not a member of the NRA. She said her support was based on what she said was the constitutional right to carry a gun and protect oneself.

One step at a time, we will reclaim our rights.

The Smallest Minority posts a link to a story with a surprise twist at the end. He also has a clock ticking down until the sunset of the "Assault" weapons ban. Faster, dammit! Faster!

Speaking of guns, I'm not the only person in the Puget Sound who picked up a great Christmas Present. Molbot, we're going to have to meet up at AK's meet, greet, and shoot.

Acidman has a post up about Boobs. This has nothing to do with guns or politics, but it's about BOOBS, so who cares.

Geek with a .45 has found a BBC article that forced him to pick his jaw up off the ground. I was doing the same.

And last but not least, Kim du Toit has another rant up. It's small by his standard but has just as much wisdom in it.
