Pretty Cool
Arizona has now made it illegal in the state to be illegal in the country. This now gives state and local law enforcement the legal grounds to enforce what was previously only federal law. That's pretty cool in my estimation. The Feds have been falling down on the job for years, so the state has had enough and decided to do something about their situation themselves.
One of the very basic reasons to even have a federal government is to provide for the common defense of the country, including invasion. Hell, they can't even do that right.
So what's all the fuss about anyway? Is it asking too much that laws are actually enforced, especially since we don't have the money not to?

Well Duh !!
According to the local rag, an independent (not government) study has concluded that ObamaCare will in fact get more people health car coverage. It also concludes that the national cost will keep right on increasing despite the scheduled cuts in Medicare.
Well duh!!!
As I've said before the only way national and individual health care costs won't go up is to keep the percentage of elderly in the population constant or declining. Anyone thinking otherwise is a moron.

Not Alone
While stopped at a traffic light, on the way home tonight, a pick up next to me honked his horn and got my attention. When I looked over he gave me the thumbs up sign then pointed to the back of my truck. On the back is a small sign that says "FIRE THE FED GOV". Obviously I'm not alone in this ideal.

Loading The 380acp, For The First Time
I've now started loading the little 380acp for the Boss to have practice ammunition. Components are not exactly easy to find, and one needs to be a little careful because the brass is very weak and inconsistent in length. If you don't apply enough bell to the mouth the wall will collapse when seating the bullet. If too much bell is applied, then again the wall will collapse.
To make matters worse I made an error initially weighing the powder charge. Instead of 2.8 grains I loaded 1.8 grains. Now I have about 50 bullets to pull, cases to prepare once again.

A Citizen's Response
Making the e-mail rounds is this little gem.
Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's story."
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazis in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America .
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .
That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America.

Old Geezer Can Still Learn
I learned that if a computer has wireless capability, and the Ethernet cable is also attached, the computer gets confused. Hell, I thought it would automatically switch to the Ethernet connection. As suggested by the friendly computer guru, I disabled the wireless on the Bosses new computer and all became well with the world.
