Buyer Beware : Motorcyclist

DO NOT BUY:

The January issue of Motorcyclist magazine.

These sorry asses have put together one of the most heart wrenching winter issues in memory. I hate 'em. I hate 'em. I hate 'em.

In one issue there is an article about a lighter faster ZX6R, the wicked F800GS in Moab, motorcycle touring in Costa Rica (GS's of course), a hollywood motorcycle stuntman who traded his 'busa in on an 1150GS and never looked back, and a way cool scooter rider's club.

There is some of the best riding centric prose I have ever read on fallen brethren and also, by a middle aged fella (Jack Lewis) on his BMW R1200S, about the choices those of us with worn carcasses must make to pursue our two wheeled passions;

"Nice guys don't finish last. They take extra laps while the cool guys blow up and crash out of the game. Lead thee not into temptation. Into the valley of death rode nobody sane. Take a step back from the edge, ride home and kiss your family.
Sometimes I don't. The devil stands behind me wearing toe-cleavage pumps an designer decolletage. She strokes my hair while I bet, laughing at pot limits while I flop sweat, addled and hoopy and tracking like a scud.
Those are the times I have to push in the whole stack. On the day that I lose - and everybody loses, a chip at a time or the whole pile at a single throw - she'll laugh again and raise an eyebrow at the Dealer"

You have been warned.

A Nation Arms Itself

From Gun Test Magazine:

"We are seeing what I can Only describe as panic buying for civilian self-defense rifles, in particular, semiautomatic AR-15s, AK47s, SKSes, FALs, and so on."

This most celebrated president-elect in generations has spawned a somewhat curiously negative reaction.

Don't mind us, we're just ignorant folk out here in flyover country clinging to our guns and religion.

Cold there?

Nice here.

California Wildfires: Enlightened Progressive Culture at Work

Let's consider the predicament of reconciling observed reality with the utopian garbage the average kalifornian finds his empty brain pan attempting to process:



1) Logging is BAD! It kills trees and Gaea doesn't like it.
BUT! Logging removes timber in such a way as to make uncontrollable wildfires unlikely.

2) Carbon dioxide emissions are bad! It makes Global Warming and industry and evil industry and cars cause that. Kalifornians are all for anything draconian to reduce carbon dioxide up to and including holding their breath. Would that they would all continuously do the latter.

BUT! Bunny (ahem...) Tree Hugger policies have turned national and state forests into tinder boxes resulting frequent emission of hundreds of tons of evil (says they) carbon dioxide.

3) Diversity and Tolerance are everything! They worship at the Church of the Progressive Utopian every day.
BUT! Taxes, cost of living, general standard of living, violent crime get worse every day.

4) The Gub'mnt Knows Best and will take care of everything 'cause they are real smart and stuff.
BUT! The ignorant hillbillies have reliable electricity and Kalifornians often don't.

Weekend Project

Two brothers in my neighborhood trekked to Vicksburg the other day to pick up three 50's era Chevy pickups in various states of repair and rebuild. There's a couple good trucks in all that stuff they figure.

Post Election Analysis, America's Great Presidents or "Who is a white moron likely to vote for? "

The question is easily answered by considering who, exactly, Lenin was speaking of when he wrote of his "useful idiots".

A friend of mine, while fretting the possibility that a particular "some" of the people couldn't be fooled all of the time this time, postulated the above statement as the crux of the recent election. Referencing his central question, we now know who the "white moron" went for. In fact, it appears the Obama campaign made a special effort to recruit the "white moron" as evidenced by his sizable gap in the under-thirty demographic.

It is no secret our colleges and universities are harbouring infestation levels of leftists so it stands to reason that young folks, by and large, are gonna absorb in those institutions of over-priced indoctrination (administered during their biologically rebellious years - the better to have them reject the traditional values of their upbringing) collectivist thinking and outlook. The smart ones begin to wake up within a couple years of graduation after having run into enough reality that recurring dichotomy and contradiction to their adopted world view jiggles the synapses back into place function. The moron soldiers on without the reinforcement of reality to perpetuate his/her world view, relying only on the strength of his/her indoctrination and a death grip on self identification with what they perceive to be the intellectual elite or "intelligentsia" as leftists like to put it. Useful idiots is how Vladimir Ilyich Lenin described them.

Greatest Presidents




It is disturbing to see how desperate the Old Media is to have an Obama presidency portrayed as successful even before he takes office. The historic parallels are troubling.

The most commonly revered presidents viewed as having successful terms of office are as follows; Lincoln and FDR. The former was a tyrant whose orders and campaigns caused the deaths of nearly 700,000 Americans on the battlefield and countless others as an intentional result of the starvation and disease his various sieges and scorched earth marches brought about, the latter was a bumbling fool who prolonged through error and economic interventionist policy the most economically devastating business cycle in history and so stupid as to involve the US in WWII when it became apparent his interventions would not restore prosperity. What do they have in common that puts them in the same category? The belief in the supremacy of the state over all and a willing press to help them forward their goal of the ascension of the state to primacy over the individual person, lower order political, and God.

President elect Obama has signaled his willingness to abuse the power of the oval office through the use of Executive Orders, bypassing the houses of congress as a dictator might. Where is the outcry from the self described "watchdogs" in the old media who would "speak truth to power" are in reality "lap dogs" for a leftist president elect and "give homage to leftists in power".

Until it is actually seen how the man governs I will not place President-elect Obama in the same category as Lincoln and FDR. He doesn't yet deserve that defamation, but it ain't lookin' good.

The Right Way to Spend Election Day: Girls With Guns

As has been shown, the Brothers "C" know their way 'round firearms. Actually, the Ladies "C" are none to shabby on the trigger either. But what may come as news is that the Daughters "C" may outdo us all!

Note that some very basic instructions are being imparted, which should be a clue that this is the first time this cutie has handled a duty sized wheel gun. The only prior experience she had with a handgun was a few rounds through a Single Six in .22 Long Rifle just prior to trying on the 4-inch .357 Magnum (.38 Special wad cutters in the cylinder).


Those shots are taken at well past the CCW permit requirement on targets about 20% the size of the official silhouettes. Similar results were obtained by the elder Daughter "C", but she was wearin' out the plates with the Glock 9mm. No photographic or videographic evidence will be presented of the eldest as there were "short shorts" involved. I am a father first, a firearms instructor second.

Just for kicks: 25 yds at a munchkin sized silhouette plate:




I am not nearly as fretful about "dating" after today. A boot knife and a hideout "Lady Smith" should take care of any infractions on the part of overly amorous hormone addled teenaged boys.

The War; Redux

Blood in the Streets!

according to this Jane Fonda buddy.
It is a rare glimpse into the mind of a liberal to read the linked piece. There is nothing but the wallowing and reveling in emotion that is the hallmark of an accomplished drama queen. This wretch is, in fact, so wrapped up in a navel gazing fit she has convinced herself she is being physically injured by the prospect of Barack Hussein not becoming King of the World by sheer media acclamation.
