I Want My Mini-Mags
Kim du Toit - Just Like Lileks - Kim and his Son&Heir go out to replenish the supply of CCI Mini-Mags. Hehe. My Son&Heir doesn't shoot the .22 any more. He prefers .308. [kimdutoit]
"Kin ah hep you?"
Aaaah that north Texas twang, the sound slower than cold molasses running off the kitchen counter (don't ask), and I restrain myself from holding Elmer upside down and shaking the words out of him.
"I need a brick of point-two-two long rifle CCI MinMags, the solids, not the hollowpoints," I say instead.
"Say Say Ah MiniMags," he says thoughtfully, as though I've just given him the Coptic translation of the new Cowboys passing play, and he's struggling to get the concept clear.
Now, I'm not asking for the moon here. I'm not asking for imported Lapua Match ammo, nor even the British-made Eley Supers. Just good old 'Murkin MiniMags, only one of the most popular brands of .22 ammo ever made.
Dale Lowdermilk at NOTSAFE - Could Senile Drivers Spawn A Police State? - taking the suggestions of the drunk driving nannies to their limits. Satire.
Jim Davidson at The Libertarian Enterprise - Nothing to Do with Patriots - The U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act is about as un-patriotic as you can get. So stop calling it the "Patriot Act". I suggest that we call it the way-past-time-to-refresh-the-tree-of-liberty act. [tle]
Joel Simon at The Libertarian Enterprise - But ... But ... We're the Good Guys! - if we're the good guys, what the hell are we doing in Iraq? Make sure to read at least the last few paragraphs. Well said! [tle]
Can I make a somewhat heretical suggestion? Please imagine you are a heavily-armed native of the United States, and somebody sends a whole bunch of troops into your country because they've decided that this 'rogue nation' needs a 'regime change.' Would you not at least be tempted to introduce some of them to Mssr. Springfield, Kalashnikov or Colt? Even if you agreed with them?
Permit for Kiddie Pool? - a Pennsylvania couple has been threatened with a fine if they don't get a permit for an 18-inch deep inflatable vinyl pool that they bought at Wal-Mart for $50. Sheesh. [smith2004]
Fred on Everything - American Airlines: Like Sinus Drainage, But With Wings - an account of Fred's recent trip via American Airlines. He's a bit upset about the service. Don't miss the photo at the end of the article. Hehe. [smith2004]
You've heard of air rage? I've got it. I'm building an invisible plastic chain-saw with a six-hundred horse motor to cut the wings off every airplane owned by American Airlines, before chopping the flight crews into runny gruel.
