Hillary a cunning linguist?

Yes, dear readers, the Hildabeast has stated that she slips into jive whenever she's speaking to black audiences because she's qualified to be the nation's first "mulilingual" president.

I shouldn't have to remind you what the penalty for a white Republican man talking in jive would be....

Natural pearls sell for $7.1 million

$7.1M for a pearl necklace? Wonder what a Cleveland Steamer or a Brown Clown goes for?

Attacked by beans?

Typically around these parts, when someone attacks someone else with beans it's a chemical attack, why would anyone want to actually throw the beans? I mean, it's common to order a coupla extra sides of refried beans as a means of self defense.

Depending on which of my dear friends it is, I think I'd much rather be hit by the flying beans than the chemical version.

By the way, Hugh Grant is a ninny.

let you know when there will be the summer - SUMMERMETER.COM

A new Internet meme. Let you know when there will be the summer.

Gun Control is Bullshit

I cannot believe that this was produced and shown on Showtime TV. Utterly stunned.

Watch all three segments, and make sure to pay extra close attention to the first coupla of minutes on #3, in light of recent events it's rather prophetic.

Rated R for language.

Miami Vice

One of the best ever quick draws on TV. Jim Zubiena was a big time shooter back in the day and his draw is for real. Compare this to the pathetically slow Tom Cruise draw in Collateral and you'll see a draw from someone who knows what he's doing and someone who's acting...

Now THAT's Tactical

Porta's Cat wrote last week about things that just aren't true. As usual, he made a lot of sense.

In my perusing of the Internet, I came back across a website which shall go largely un-named because I would hate like hell for anyone to actually go there and think this fellow was some sort of expert.

Enter this clip:

Now, if you paid attention, you'll notice the fellow pulling the trigger barely gets his hit ON PAPER (but not ON TARGET) with his first round, and from all appearances, yanked his second round off and to the left of the entire freaking target. At about 2 yards. I'll tell you right now - that's pathetic. This fellow takes the position that if you LOOK tactical - then you must know how to shoot. He's got two guns on his body. He's wearing BDUs. But he can't shoot.

For more learning, let's observe this clip:

A few points of interest here.

First, anyone who is teaching defensive shooting that tells you to just stand there and blow rounds downrange is going to get you killed. Period. You damn well better be able to shoot and move, preferably laterally.

Second, do you really think in an urban environment, surrounded by houses, children, neighbors, etc that you want to do this sort of shooting? As proven in clip 1, he's not hitting jack sheeeit. Where do you think all those rounds going downrange are going to impact? You'd damn well better be able to account for every stinking shot that leaves your weapon. And the only way to do that is to actually be watching the little bump on the front of the barrel or have the muzzle pressed right up against the bad guy.

Third, the tactical scan. Next to the tactical reload, that has to be one of the all time stupidest, dumb assed thing I've seen the tactical trainers teach. That works great when you're scanning PAPER targets to see if you've hit it or not. I mean, really, let's think about this for a second... if you are shooting at someone who means you bodily harm and they're still coming at you, what are you going to do, stop and scan or keep shooting?

The other problem I've seen with about 99.9% of shooters who do the tactical scan in practice or at matches is that THEY DON'T ACTUALLY SEE! I have seen shooters scan targets that are completely missing holes, or scan steel that's still standing up - without re-engaging the target! What's the point, I wonder, except it looks like you're a tactical MoFo. If you're going to look, freaking SEE!

So, just because it's on the internets doesn't mean it's true! And if you figure out how to get to this bozo's website, buyer beware!

Two Secret Service officers injured at White House

Here's a little story from last week that I found entertaining....

"It appears that at approximately 2:10 p.m. (1810 GMT) there was an accidental discharge of a service issued weapon, which occurred inside the Southwest Gate at a security post near the White House," Blackford said.

I wonder how that new job in BFE, Alaska is going for the individual responsible for the ND....
