I would encourage you to go to the Starbucks on Pike Place at 10:30am where the loons of the Brady Bunch are planning on doina “lie in” (both in position and verisimilitude) protesting Starbuck’s decision to respect customers who carry guns legally.

Now, don’t engage in a confrontation, just go inside, order some coffee and sit down to read your favorite gun magazine. Make sure the magazine is visible to the loons, smile and excercise both your First and Second amendment rights. If addressed by the angry hippies, smile and wave.  Take pictures!

Hat Tip to Snowflakes In Hell.

Mayor Richard M. Daley wants the ban to remain in place. He says local officials need flexibility to decide how best to protect their communities.

“We have the right for health and safety to pass reasonable laws dealing with the protection and health of the people of the city of Chicago,” Daley said.

He also said the rollback of the city’s handgun ban could lead to further erosion of legislation having to do with guns.

No Papa Daley. Citizens have rights you have the duty of obeying and defending the Constitution.

Wash. teacher killed outside school before classes

“Jennifer Paulson, a 30-year-old special education teacher at a Tacoma elementary school, knew she was in danger this week when her alleged stalker was released from the Pierce County Jail, three days after she had him arrested. She started staying away from her home in an attempt to avoid him.

It didn’t work. When she showed up for work Friday morning, he was already there — and had been waiting for hours, according to reports neighbors gave police. Paulson was shot more than once as she walked into the school. Her body lay near the base of a large evergreen tree with blood seeping from her mouth.”

She did everything the “experts” tell us to do: Go to the cops, file a restraining order,got him arrested when he violated the order. Yet she is dead today and a family and a community grieves.

In the meantime her killer Jed R. Waits, is now occupying a slab at the local morgue while his accomplices are alive and well and still dispensing killer advice to many women out there.  Janet Paulson is dead but she died a moral death: she never resorted to violence, she didn’t have a gun, she never had a chance to defend herself.  This has to be one Sarah Brady’s proudest achievements.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley,
raped and strangled with her panty hose,  is somehow morally
superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker
got that fatal bullet wound.

My wife defines my taste in music as eclectic. Actually she uses other words but eclectic is much nicer and sound like I am somewhat intellectually gifted (Yep, camouflage.) She is amazed at the different stuff that pours from my iPod as I feel like listening too. So here is a sample in no particular order: 10 random songs in a shooter’s iPod.

Sugarland: Stay

Dino:Ain’t That A Kick In The Head

EL&P: Karn Evil 9, First Impression

Dave Brubeck: Take Five

Meatloaf: Bat Out Of Hell

Eagles: Hotel California from Hell Freezes Over (I have the album version and the live version too)

J.S. Bach: Toccata & Fugue in d minor

John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band: On the Dark Side.

Elvis: Are You Lonesome Tonight

ZZ Top: La Grange

While I am waiting for dearly beloved wife to finish get ready, I can’t help but envy my fellow Club Members in Clearwater, FL about to begin shooting in the 2010 IDPA  Florida State match. Being the new guy at work did not give me a whole lot of flexibility to ask for days off and my days off were totally out of whack with a weekend match so I gave it up for this year. But Destiny is a miserable bitch; suddenly not only my days off were reassigned and I was told I could take a day off  to attend the match but the same day I was told that there were none available and a long list of people waiting for a cancellation.  So even though I am not happy, I feel good for the Wyoming Antelop Club. Last year’s match was impeccable and I am sure they will outdo themselves.

In the meantime:

GO TSSA!

Oh hell NO! I tuned three times (two by accident) and that was it. The first time I saw some guy wearing more make up than a hooker on a Saturday night and call me old fashioned but Maybelline is not something that pops up immediately when somebody mentions the Olympics. The second time I swear I saw Jeff Spicoli about to go down some slope on a over sized tongue depressor. The third time I saw the the same made-up guy with even  more make up an wearing enough sequins & feathers as to overthrow Liberace from his Las Vegas Museum.

When I was a kid, I had a chance to read about the real Olympics. Not the summer games but the games as played among the kingdoms in Greece and I wouldn’t mind seeing a couple of bouts of that old style Olympic boxing. Instead of soft cushy gloves and head protection, the fighters wore gloves reinforced with metal (mostly lead), there were no 3 minute rounds and the fight was decided when either somebody called it quits or died.

And before some woman accuses me of being insensitive, I would like to point out that many athlete in the old times wore no uniform… hell didn’t wear much of anything. The Olympics back then were quite popular with the female population.

So, I’ll be rooting for this Canadian team:

Call me Oinker and fed me slop… I don’t care. Women should petition for Old Style Olympics.
