A Few Thoughts

The news programs are simply overflowing with reports and comments regards the disaster in Haiti and the results of the election in the peoples republic of Mass. The former was by nature and helped by a corrupt government. The latter was the direct result of a corrupt government.

For the first time I'm seeing the talking heads on the TV say that The People are just sick of the self serving crap in Washington. The evil party and the stupid party need to take heed. The independents are growing by leaps and bounds. The time is ripe to elect candidates that have no or little affiliation with any group, but will actually serve The People.

I had plans to do some long gun shooting yesterday, but alas not enough time. The Boss had a house full of women for a baby shower most of the afternoon and into the evening. My help with the preparation and clean up was needed. I did manage to get away long enough to re-up my membership at the shooting range.

Today I have the time but not the interest in sloshing around in the cold rain. There's a roof over the firing line, but a muddy mess down range.
--------

I was going to take the Boss out shopping for her carry gun today, but that's been postponed. We've been waiting for her surgically repaired hand to heal, but the progress has slowed to a crawl, and she's been impatient to get on with it. Now the shopping is postponed again.

She got home from church in a depressed mood. She goes to an extremely small church that has become as an extended family, and that family took a big hit today. The pastor is calling it quits for some undisclosed personal reason. To the Boss this is like losing a brother. The chances are the church will not survive after this, and therefore this part of the Boss's family will not survive.
--------

For now I'll head into the workroom/armory and clean up the mess, with maybe a football game on the TV.

What Was It??

The Boss informed me that the eldest son stopped by today and borrowed something from the armory. All the guns seem to be where they belong, so it must've been a tool or reloading component. Oh well . . . . . if needed, I know where to find it.

Red Hats & Guns

Last Night the Boss and a friend had dinner with a group of the Red Hat Ladies. At least I think it's Red Hat. Anyway according to the Boss 2 of them have CCW licenses. I don't know how many didn't, or what the total attendance was, but I'm happy to hear that the number of women carrying guns is on the rise. Prime targets of the goblins need to protect themselves.

A few Thoughts

Sorry about the lack of posting. With the new job I also lose about another hour of my life each day driving. Not a whole lot of time left after eating dinner and cleaning the kitchen. The Boss cooks and I clean up afterwards. I sure miss coming home for lunch. I was spoiled for 3 years.

This weekend the Boss is having a baby shower here, so I'll probably be able to sneak away to the outdoor range for a couple hours. I prefer outside to inside shooting, besides I need some long gun practice. I've never heard of a 200 yard indoor range.

My great niece is pregnant. She's still in high school, single, and just turned 18. My Brother-in-law will be supporting his daughter, granddaughter, and soon to be great grand kid, all living in one house. I feel a little sorry for him, but without sympathy. He raised them to be dependant, not independent. My 2 sons both went to school and acquired skills that allow them to support themselves. They were raised to take responsibility. His daughter and granddaughter weren't.

Interesting Results

Last night's election results in the peoples republic of Mass was interesting. A Rep actually won a senate seat. Who woulda thought. For months the Dems have poo-pooed the TEA parties as being right wing extremists. Just MAYBE now they'll realize that The People, don't like what they've been doing.

They have government health care in Mass, and they still don't support Fed health care.

Politics is getting even more interesting.

Communists

Todays local paper had an interview with Senator Sharod Brown (D-Ohio). In the interview he's quoted as saying that he's disappointed that government run healthcare won't be in the final bill, but that he'll vote for the health care reform bill regardless what it contains. He believes that in a few years it all will be government run.

A POX on communists.

Denmark???

According to Fox last night, Oprah is very fond of the social/economic system of Denmark. I would be too if they could reverse the income tax rates. Apparently they pay something like 75% income tax in Denmark.
