Did you know?
That the guide rod to the recoil assembly in a 1911 can unscrew itself? Yep. It can. Guess what it does then.... Yep. It falls out. And once it falls out, the next time you fire a round, the recoil spring curls itself into a rather remarkable semblance of a pretzel.
This is bad. Springs should not look like pretzels.
The good news is that the major parts of the gun are fine. But I need a new recoil assembly. So, until I can find a parts store that carries Rock Island Armory parts, I've got the .38 Special revolver on my belt. But I am not happy.
Phil gets a beavertail safety to work on the damn gun, and the next day it breaks. Grrrrrrrrrrrr..............

Didya know that Tom Cruise is obese?
The gummint says so. And Bush and Michael Jordan are overweight.
Can we scrap this whole bullshit BMI now? This has got to be the biggest damn joke I've ever seen in terms of health. The government has taken the fact that it doesn't know it's own ass from it's elbow and multiplied it into gigantic proportions. Tom Cruise obese? Screw that. They've simply taken his height and weight and made a determination, without looking at body fat content, muscle amount, or ANY OTHER FACTOR that people with half a brain include.
Since when does the government have the right to tell us what our body type is. IT DOESN'T! And this is the perfect example why! BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS INCOMPETENT, AT BEST.
You wonder where your tax dollars go? Here's one place: To some poorly organized government office filled with idiotic fuckwits who couldn't survive in the real world. So they sit in some building and write completely worthless guides and standards, paid for by your dollar and mine.
What to lower the deficit? Let's start kicking fucknozzles like this out of their cushy government job and on to their flabby, pasty asses. There is no reason what so ever to have the government involved in fitness or health. This "guide" just underscores the reasons.
The Bitchgirls have put out some tips for protecting your 2nd Amendment Rights. People should be able to do at least one or two of them. If we don't work to protect what we have, we'll lose it, simple as that.
Take a gander, and see if you can do anything.
Hat tip to the Smallest Minority.
Microsoft has removed some offensive images from one of its fonts. You'll hardly believe what they are.
LGF showed me.
Check out these excerpts from a Philadelphia Daily News column about John Kerry's suspected infidelity:
"After being approached by a top news producer, the woman fled to Africa, where she remains, the Drudge Report can reveal," the Web site breathlessly reported...
"Breathlessly"
Haw!
But there's one huge problem with the story, which raced through newsrooms across the country like a computer virus: Nobody has been able to confirm that it was true.
So now allegations have to be true to be important. Won't the "Deserter in Chief" be pleased!!!
Oh, and Matt Drudge is termed a "conservative gossipmeister".
Nice.
Kerry sex scandal lurking?

Death is the only appropriate answer
For this son-of-a-bitch.
A Washington National Guardsman was arrested today in connection to trying to provide information to the al-Qaida terrorist network, the Army said.
Spc. Ryan G. Anderson, a member of the Guard's 81st Armor Division, faces charges of aiding the enemy by wrongfully attempting to communicate and give intelligence to the al-Qaida terrorist network, Army Lt. Col. Stephen Barger said at a news conference at Fort Lewis this afternoon.
It's time we bring back tarring and feathering, if you ask me. Or better yet, throw a rope over the barrel of an Abrahms tank and hang that fucker. Display the corpse while they're rolling through Iraq. And by the time the bones drop off, and his skull is all that's left, fill it with shit from the head and bury it in the desert.
Remember, for traitors like this, the knot in the noose goes at the base of the neck, not the side. We don't want a quick death for this bastard.
Anderson's alleged actions appeared to be motivated by ideology, not money, according to a defense official speaking on the condition of anonymity..
Anderson, 26, converted to the Muslim faith five years ago.
It's time to make an example out of traitors, since we have too many of them as of late. Johnny Taliban, the grenade attacks in Iraq, and this bastard all point to a disturbing trend. So here's what I propose.
Tie a rope to each of his limbs. Attach said ropes to the trailer hitch of a Hummvee. Have those Hummers head in the four points of the compass. If the torso stays connected to a limb, whoever is dragging the limb and torso continue for at least ten miles. A good modern drawing and quartering.
And bury the fucking piece of shit in an unmarked grave, right after the rest of his unit uses that grave as their unit latrine.

CARNIVAL!!!
Your humble (and not so humble) blog writers are going to be hosting the Carnival of the Vanities, Wednesday, February 18th.
MUAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAA! AT LAST THE POWER WILL BE MINE!
(crap. Use your inside voice Dave.... your inside voice)
Anyways, here's how the set up will go. Send in your best piece of writing, and both Tim and I will figure out which ones are so spectacular that we just have to post them. Now, it would be helpfull if you send the piece both to Tim and I, so that we don't get wires crossed and start sending already read pieces back and forth. My addy is wraithwulf-at-yahoo-dot-com, or you can just click on my name. Tim's addy is SlimyBill-at-yahoo-dot-com. Or, again, just click on his name.
We need the entries as soon as possible, preferably by Tuesday evening. Say.... 2000 hrs. (That's 8:00 PM for you civilians). That way we can work on getting them up in time for Wednesday.
So email us your best, and put "CotV" in the subject line. We'll see you all next week!

Analog Kid has an Idea. Readers of this blog know that I get together on about a monthly basis with other fellows from this corner of the country to have fun, meet new people, and shoot lots of holes in paper targets.
We want to go Nationwide.
No, we're not going to travel all over the country (because we're pretty broke, even though I'd love to do it). We want have other bloggers in other parts of the country organize their own meet, greet and shoot. Head on over to AK's and drop him a line if you're interested. This weekend is probably a little to soon to organize a group in other areas, but we can set up a time and date.
There have got to be a crap-load of shooting bloggers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. From Phoenix to Charleston, we should be able to get together on one day and blast targets to smithereens.
Just think about the ammo sales that day. Heh. You want to send a message? Buying billions of rounds will do it.
So, what do you think? Can it work? SHOULD it work? Is anyone interested?
Know anything about Theresa Heinz's business??? There's a neat tidbit at the end of this: TCS: Tech Central Station - Exporting Lou Dobbs and John Kerry.
Looking at it from a different angle
In politics, as in everything else, you have to choose your battles carefully. Pick the right ones, and you gain a larger following; pick the wrong ones, and people think you're nuts.Which brings me to this, which, in turn, makes me wonder... is everyone out of their damned mind?
Come on! What does this have to do with anything? Does it somehow diminish the love Bob1 has for Mary1 if some other guy in some other state loves some other guy who also is in some other state? Does it make Bob and Jane's marriage any less special, any less important? Of course not! So why the hell is everyone afraid of this? It makes no sense. Do people really stay awake at nights worried that two gay women (who, I might add, said people will likely never meet) will get married? That's insane -- that's like staring at a hurricane coming toward your house and suddenly realizing that you hate your neighbor's couch. It has no bearing on your life. None at all.
In the meantime, anti-gay-marriage advocates are looking like idiots. No, really. "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" Great. Pithy. Makes you sound like you have nothing better to do than to worry about the love lives of strangers. Let me ask you2 a question: what it were a man and a woman, but one was black and the other white? Would you still be against the marriage? Because like it or not, there are distinct similarities between the anti-gay movement and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The analogies are far from perfect -- there's no true segregation, for example -- but there are/were laws blocking both groups from doing things (get married, for instance) for no better reason than some arbitrary feature that someone didn't like. In the 60s, it was skin color; in the 2000s it's sexual orientation.
I'm not really a fan of anti-discrimination laws -- I don't think they work. Passing a law saying I have to like person X won't actually make me like the person; in fact it will probably make me resent the person for receiving special treatment. In the end, it'll be our children and our children's children who will make us get along with other people -- after all, when your child brings home a friend, and 20 years later that person (who is by now practically an adopted child to you and a sibling to your child) discovers that he/she is gay, are you really going to get that person out of your life? What if it means losing your child? For that matter, what if it was your child that is gay; would you really cut loose your own child?
But not being a fan of anti-discrimination laws does not by any means make me a fan of discrimination laws. Just because I don't think something should be made illegal does not mean that I believe that it should be made legal. Quite frankly, I don't think the government has any business dictating what should constitute a legal marriage within certain bounds3.
Quite frankly, we have better things to worry about. The left is steadily encroaching and turning us into a more socialist state every year, and we don't always help ourselves out by picking battles that a.) we can't win, and b.) don't really make any sense. Like it or not, gay marriage is, I believe, an inevitability. So let's accept it and move on to more important things. Pissing into the wind will help us not one whit.
1 Made up names; no basis in reality. I just needed an example.
2 And by "you" I mean "makers of the pithy slogans"
3 Specifically, I advocate marriage being defined as "any combination of consensual adults". Key words: "consensual" and "adults".

Slap, Slap, Slap
Bill Hobbs. RCP. Baldilocks. Three perfect examples of the sliminess, worthlessness, corruption, ignorance, slavish idiocy, and inaptitude of the Democrats and their hired minions in the Media.
Let's make this clear - Anyone with a passing knowledge of the military could have looked at the facts regarding Bush's service and figure out that this whole "Bush was AWOL" meme was bullshit. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have figured out that this was just an election year mud-slinging fest by the moonbats. Anyone supposedly capable of breathing could have figured out that these lies were just that: LIES.
But the Donks, blinded by their own hatred, smothered by their groupthink, lulled by their egos, and befuddled by their lack of any kind of cognitive thought, went ahead and brought it up, tried to make it a story. They tried to make a mountain out of a molehill. They attempted to blow this thing into a president toppling monster. And I hope they get nailed for it.
It's examples like this that make me think not only are the Democrats so stupid that they should be wearing crash helmets on a daily basis, but that they actively look for ways to purposely sink America. Anyone who attempts to say that Bush was AWOL should be reminded that they are nothing but unthinking asshats, stupid drones, idiotic fucknozzles, bloviating dipshits, disgusting zombies, and poster children for retro-active abortion.
In short, anyone stupid enough to actually believe that Bush was AWOL should not be wasting my precious oxygen.
Hat tip to Instapundit.

OUCH!
The G.O.C. is PISSED!
Then, Atrios implied that Kerry spent four years in Viet Nam. Sorry. The normal tour was one year. And Kerry even got to leave early. What's more, he even got out of the Navy early. Golly, this is the same bullshit that the left is accusing Bush of doing. But that's all right. Look at the difference between Bill Janklow, Republican from South Dakota found guilty of manslaughter who resigned from Congress and will serve time, and Senator Ted Kennedy, Dimocrat from Taxachusetts and noted swimmer, who should have been found guilty of manslaughter, but who is considered an elder statesman of the Dimocrat Party and keeps getting reelected every year. Or how about noted former Kleagle of the KKK Senator Robert Byrd who can use the word nigger twice on national TV and suffer no repercussions. I'd like to see a Republican get away with that. But I digress.
Did I mention that I love reading this guy when he's on a roll?
But Jane Fonda and John Kerry don't think of all the people who have suffered because we left and allowed North Viet Nam to conquer South Viet Nam. They don't care about all the people who died. Just like they don't care about all the people whom Saddam Hussein killed and all the people we saved by going to war in Iraq.
Jane Fonda owns her own vagina. John Kerry is a fucking hypocrite.
Yep.
