CNN totally in the tank

…and just straight up kissing ass now.

Hollywood Goes To Iran To Make Nice

February 28, 2009

How stupid are these people? Or should I say, willfully ignorant?
 
Hollywood Group Visits Iran for ‘Creative Exchange’
Saturday, February 28, 2009 
With the world still wary of Iran’s plans for its nuclear program, the country is welcoming a band of unofficial cultural ambassadors from the U.S.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed to AFP [...]

It’s getting hard to find ammo these days

February 28, 2009

I just did a quick inventory of what I have on hand:

250x .40 S&W FMJ
75x .40 S&W JHP
150x .45 ACP FMJ
40x .45 ACP JHP
50x .38 Spl FMJ
20x .38 Spl JHP
20x .357 magnum JHP

I used to get my ammo- no problem- from Sportman’s Warehouse in Littleton Colorado. The last time I went there, they didn’t have squat for ammo. I [...]

Here’s your ‘hope and change’, America

February 26, 2009

Crushing deficits and taxes forever:

Michelle Malkin points out that
…The Administration’s budget contains $1.4 trillion in tax increases – tax hikes that will impact everyone, from small businesses, charities, and seniors to everyone who owns a 401(k) and anyone who flips on a light switch.
…After promising that he will reduce taxes on 95 percent of Americans, [...]

Another Great Idea Whose Time Has Come

February 25, 2009

I’ve had some great ideas in the past, like having the outcome of the NFL Pro Bowl determine the site of the next Super Bowl; and transparent duct tape. But this newest idea, I think, is a real winner.
Bob Hope passed away six years ago. He was a legendary comedian and actor, appearing in vaudeville, [...]

Photography Out West

February 23, 2009

It’s getting near time to go back out on the road with cameras- I’m getting a little cabin fever. 3 months on the graveyard shelf hasn’t helped, but that ends with February. The most problematic thing about getting to destinations west of Denver Metro is mountain driving in winter. Crossing the Continental Divide in less than [...]

The Academy Awards Are Tonight!

February 22, 2009

Who cares. One of the best-grossing and well-reviewed movies of the year, Clint Eastwood’s Gran Tourino, received no nomination. Zip. Zero. None-point-none nominations. And the film made more money (thus proving its widespread popularity) than all five Best Picture nominees COMBINED.
Which tells me the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are [...]

Obama Raise Taxes? The Deuce, You Say!

February 22, 2009

Is there something I’m missing here, or is this guy a total retard? (Actually, I think the performance of our rookie President so far sullies the good name of retards.)
President Zero just signed away $787 BILLION dollars of our hard-earned money. But now, he claims, is the time to attack that fiendish national budget deficit!
In [...]

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) On The ‘Stimulus’

February 22, 2009

Ironically enough, the bill signed into law by President Obama does just about everything but focus on creating jobs.  A mere nine cents of every dollar in the package will actually put people back to work on shovel-ready projects.  Inside that sliver of stimulus spending, House Democrats stuffed all the pork their cronies had been [...]

Rookie President says no Fairness Doctrine

February 20, 2009

Here’s a story from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that says the amateur President has no plans to revive the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”:
“President Obama opposes any move to bring back the so-called Fairness Doctrine, a spokesman told FOXNews.com Wednesday.
The statement is the first definitive stance the administration has taken since an aide told an industry publication last [...]
