I ran across a picture of one of our loyal correspondents from his membership in a youth club.
I won’t say who it is, but we all know who

I think I remember taking the kid to pokeman trading card meet ups a couple times – at the Burger King in Tomball. Don’t remember any red headed he – devils there though.

I think it was really a scheme to meet 8 yr old wimminz from other schools though.

Good morning Hamsters. At last the front is here, and we have 66 with a light north breeze and dry air. Scattered clouds inhabit a clear ebony sky; Orion overhead heralds Fall. Everything should be perked up today.

Well I rolled into work at about 6:20 and my headlights shinned on mama doe and the twins, I got my flashlight and there were 4 does and 4 little ones in the front yard. The doe closest to the street didn’t have a little one so she must be on the Norplant drug.

Dang is it fall?! I wonder what the dew point was this morning, it’s cool and real dry here, 68 degrees on the old truck thermometer.
Oh and the OC picture doesn’t pass the Benzene test. -
I didn’t do anything wrong,…I’m no Jeffery Dahmer
Employers won’t hire her. She’s been berated with epithets like “dirty Jew.” Federal agents have guarded her house because of death threats. And she’s spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending herself against accusations she orchestrated a coverup in a scandal that has come to represent everything Americans hate about the IRS.
Lois Lerner is toxic — and she knows it. But she refuses to recede into anonymity or beg for forgiveness for her role in the IRS tea party-targeting scandal.
“I didn’t do anything wrong,” Lerner said in her first press interview since the scandal broke 16 months ago. “I’m proud of my career and the job I did for this country.”SPITS

Lois’ friends over at the CPSC have satellite photos of him on his ATV with his dog riding shotgun.
They’re coming after Super Dave now.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is looking into how to ban passengers from riding four wheelers in the name of public safety.
The agency issued a “request for information” on Monday to learn the feasibility of prohibiting more than one person from riding an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The notice will be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday.
“Since the 1980s, the CPSC has addressed ATV safety through various activities, including rulemaking, recalls, consumer education, media outreach following fatal incidents, and litigation,” Todd A. Stevenson, secretary of the CPSC wrote. “Despite these activities, ATV-related fatalities continue to be one of the largest categories of consumer product-related deaths. ATV safety, therefore, remains an ongoing Commission concern.”

Whee, temp dropped to 63 at 7 out here.
Politico is trying desperately to find something admirable about the despicable Lois Lerner, and their feverish efforts show clearly. What maroons. And goons.

It’s a dangerous world out there.
Israeli forces found and killed the two main Palestinian suspects behind the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens earlier in the summer, after a several month manhunt, Israeli officials said Tuesday morning
Marwan Kawasme and Amer Abu Aysha were both killed during an early Tuesday arrest attempt in Hebron, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

RE: ATV passengers
We let little kids fall down while they’re learning to walk. After that, no one is allowed to take risks, get hurt, learn hard lessons…
Again, if you haven’t read it, read “With Folded Hands”.

Foxnews reported this morning that Jugears authorized 45 tomahawk missiles last night. The budget for those missiles is 100 this year and fewer next year. So let me get this straight, Jugears guts the finances of the military then spends the assets with reckless abandon with no intention of replacement. Didn’t Slick Willie do precisely the same thing? What a bunch of scumbags the last 3 D presidents have been.

The IDF has it right—no quarter, no prisoners for kidnapping murderers.

Didn’t you say a week or so ago that a fawn had been killed by a car at NASA? Maybe that mom’s li’l Bambi.
-
Funny how the government chemtrail program ramps up when the weather cools off.
-
Does anyone believe that if the same scenario presented itself in March instead of Sept of a midterm election year that Jugears would decline to use force? If his poll numbers were higher can we even consider that he would act? This is naked partisan politics and Jugears is a gutless, clueless coward.

Sometimes I think the government fails to recognize the need for a little chlorine in the gene pool from time to time, what with all the regulations to protect us that we generally ignore anyway. If the started with a study of the data and then identified problems that needed work, it would be fine, but my experience has been that they start with someone’s pet peeve and then try to build a case to eliminate it. When they outlaw the automobile, which is the number one killer year in and year out, then we will know they are at least true to their ideals. But, you just can’t outlaw stupid – it will seep through no matter what.

Doctors Without Borders skeptical of Bronco’s Ebola plan:
“This is not going to work,” he said. “To move people in an epidemic is a big responsibility, and it requires huge logistical capabilities” that the affected countries simply don’t have.

#17m42: but we have to do something, even if it will not work. Even if we have no idea about how to efficiently proceed.
Remember what Rhambo said, don’t ever let a crisis go to waste. If you don’t have a crisis handy, create one like he did with ISIS -
you just can’t outlaw stupid
Stupid should hurt.

Just like his predecessor D, Jugears likes to keep people waiting on him.

Remember, the police are your friends.
Man calls cops to report vandals, cops kill him.

Remember, the government knows what it is doing. No need to worry.

Oh, morning all. A balmy 56 here today.

Now there’s a plan. If immigrants are busting out of Africa by boat across the Mediterranean, what’s to stop them coming across the Atlantic seeking a better life? Oh and anyone needing medical treatment, hop on board and go straight to the USA for a checkup. -
21..Recently, I had the same event at my house…911 operator was clear when
she informed me that if I went outside, to leave the gun inside the house (and I knew enough to do that anyway). I was also perfectly clear to her when I inadvertently told her ‘when seconds count; police are only minutes away’ – she didn’t appreciate it…but then again, I didn’t really appreciate someone trying beat the heck out of my front door…perp was caught and now at Rusk for a while -
Never seen this before and interesting take on the revolver.

I often wonder about what certain people do for excitement when their military careers are over. For instance, what does a fighter pilot do after retirement; a carrier Captain. What about a guy melting the barrel of a .50 cal? Everything else has got to be a let down.

I think that’s not a “real” gun. Looks like a prop gun.
Much like this one:

#29: Thanks for clearing that up. My first question when I saw the picture was Why?The grip and frame are vaguely familiar to me, but I can’t put my finger on the right .22 target pistol it comes from. The tip off for me was the ejection port above the barrel.
It looked a little too much like this P38

Dang.
Always ready to admit when I’m wrong:
http://world.guns.ru/handguns/double-action-revolvers/it/mateba-mtr–e.html
The Mateba MTR-8 revolver is one of most unusual weapons of its class, developed during early 1980s for sport shooting, especially for rapid fire events. To achieve minimum shot-to-shot time through minimized barrel rise, designer of this weapon, Emilio Ghisoni, decided to put the barrel as low as possible. To do so, he put the cylinder in front of the triggerguard, rather than above it. He also used a high-capacity cylinders, which contained 8 rounds of .357 or .38 caliber ammunition (model MTR-8), 12 rounds of .32 caliber ammunition (model MTR-12) or 14 rounds of .22LR (model MTR-14). Revolvers with capacity of up to 20 .22 caliber rounds were proposed in this lineup, but supposedly not built. Very limited manufacture of these finely made and unusual weapons was made by Macchine Termo Balistiche (Mateba) company in Italy. It is believed that MTR line of Mateba revolvers is no longer in production.
Obviously, these revolvers had limited use outside of shooting sport, as they were way too heavy and too long for everyday concealed or open carry, especially considering their relatively short barrels.Mateba MTR-8 revolver is a double / single action revolver of all-steel construction. 8-shot cylinder is located in the frame ahead of the triggerguard, and swings out to the left for reloading. Cylinder release latch is located at the front of the cylinder, on the cylinder crane. For faster reloading, special flat clips were developed for these revolvers. Trigger unit design was also unusual – hammer is fully concealed within the frame and is located in the grip, with the long firing pin passing above the trigger towards the rear of the cylinder. Hammer can be manually cocked and de-cocked using a thumb lever, located on the frame above the left grip panel.

Lois Lerner: I didn’t do anything wrong
It was the crashed hard drive’s fault.
In future hearings the crashed drive may be resurrected to testify but it will probably invoke the 5th amendment.

Lois Lerner (urine be upon her) needs to spend a long time in the hoosegow. She and many others connected with this admin.

BTW;
Speaking of .22 target pistols.
I’m looking for a Ruger MKIII, preferable the one with the 1911 style mag release and safety–
anybody know where I can get one?

#22: So the people are supposedly sick with malaria, right? Malaria is transmitted by mosquitos and the ship is in South Louisiana and the mosquito is the state bird of Louisiana, what could possibly go wrong?
-
The good news is that only certain species of mosquito are able to transmit malaria. Those may not live in Louisiana.

From an email from my sister:
PUNS FOR EDUCATED MINDS

25. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
26. There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

I don’t know if this has been posted yet. Yesterday was rough, today’s not much better.
Soulless evil. If we value human life only by its “contribution to society,” then we can rationalize the death of almost anyone. Mentally retarded? Here’s your needle. Too old? No more health care. Where do you draw the line? Third generation welfare and proud of it with no desire to change? Oh, wait, they can still vote. As long as you vote for the “correct” party, you can live… -
#38 M2: The Anopheles mosquito is the one that is the primary transmitter of malaria. See the Wiki page for its range, which includes the eastern 2/3 of the USA.

I felt that same way when Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs died within a year of each other a couple of years ago.

Wulp got back from my balance tests. I ain’t got Maneirs disease, i ain’t got no inner ear problems, I ain’t got no answers and I ain’t got no satisfaction.
So I am right back to square one. So next stop back to my cardio doc to see if a change in blood pressure pills is in order. Apparently one of my BP pills can cause dizziness like I am experiencing. I hate to mess with my BP pills because it took forever to find the right combination to get my BP under control. -

They had malaria in England until after the first world war.

#38 M2: The Anopheles mosquito is the one that is the primary transmitter of malaria. See the Wiki page for its range, which includes the eastern 2/3 of the USA.Malaria was once common in the US, particularly the Gulf Coast. Measures to control mosquito populations decades ago reduced the chances of transmission of the disease to nil. Today there is no chance of contracting malaria because the only skeeters around have never been exposed and thus do not carry the virus.
But I do doubt that this is the first ship from a malaria zone with infected folk on board. We had a much higher chance of the disease being transmitted to our skeeters when soldiers returned home from malaria zones after WW2 and Viet Nam.

Pick up your Bible and look at the two books that come after Colossians.

Hmmm. That’s probably why there is some incidence of sickle cell anemia in Greece, since having one gene for that disease protects the carrier from malaria. Same situation as in sub-Saharan Africa. -
