How cute

The county speed camera is in a Jeep Patriot. At least, this one is. Don't they know they will get audited for using a Patriot?

Not pictured is the Suburban hiding with the real police in it. Today it is parked in a little 45 mph zone on the shortcut from Ankeny to 65/330. This is the free month, so on the return trip I rolled up to the speed limit sign at 57 mph before slamming on the brakes just before the sign, to see where they were checking the speed. I see they parked it so no one could "break down" and park right in front of or behind the stupid thing. If I wuz smart, I would have plugged my Passport in and checked what band they are on.

Light blogging

Read Monster Hunter Vendetta yesterday. My wife is enjoying the books, too.

Might be light blogging all this week. I'll be changing my ISP. Not that they host the blog or anything. Just anticipate (more) reindeer games from my current provider. Took three times for them to even admit they had a lock on porting the phone number, let alone the pain in the anus stuff we will go through to cancel service. Irony is, we have never had trouble with them, and are only changing providers because they do not offer a decent cable package, period.

Caturday

Oswald and Ruby. Uh, short for Oz the Great and Powerful and Ruby Slippers. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Protip

When building AR lowers, scratch the blem lower, not the good lower.

I almost want to bitch about Palmetto State Armory having a poorly machined selector detent and no buffer retainer in one kit. Then, I remember one Armalite kit having an AR-10 bolt catch in it. Now that is a big mistake. The ALG QMS mil-spec triggers are nice, though. Even included a shorty pin to install the trigger and disconnector as one unit.

So Sharyl Attkisson was hacked

Confirmed by CBS News. So, what secret kangaroo court gave them the warrant?

Welcome Zimmerman Trial Jurors

Now is your last chance to find out what really happened behind the scenes. If you are sequestered you will have to rely on the facts selected for you by politicians prosecutors. A good resource is at Legal Insurrection. And remember, iced tea and skittles are actually combined with cough syrup to get high, but a high that makes the user irritable and violent!

Another war for oil?

I'd buy that excuse before I'd buy any ginned up reason for going to war with Syria. Is there a third side we could ally with in this mess?

How to win a console war before it starts

Game over.

Found in the wild

Jordanian military overruns? Federal in a plain white box usually means that, right?

Hmmm

These guys enforce ITAR

The State Department is in charge of treaty enforcement. Also, hoes and drug rings fall under their jurisdiction. Wait, those are charges against State department officials.

Zimmerman trial begins today

I hope this is the result.

Might lead to this.

Wow, when searching for images of Detroit or LA riots, google basically says "which one?"
