DUE TO BUDGET CUTS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATLEY! NEW OFFICE POLICY Dress Code: 1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary. 2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. 3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. 4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

A link here to a story about local municipalities fighting back against large internet providers. Even though I found this link from a Facebook friend (who is a fellow gun-owner), it is a small world. Mr. DePriest mentioned in the article was a co-worker of my Pops for over 30 years.

Thanks to this blog for linking to this story . Very good advice on teaching the ladies to shoot. Or anyone for that matter.

Per State Senator Stacey Campfield's blog: the red light camera bill passed through the House transportation committee. I just wish this bill had more teeth. These red light cameras are nothing but revenue generators, and that means they are a tax. As such, they are being used unconstitutionally.

Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl was fired yesterday. While I will not defend what he did, the fact is that Tennessee will be another 5+ years before they can get a coach of comparable abilities. Then add in the time factor to get the program back up to snuff, and it becomes apparent that the Tennessee mens' basketball program will be in the toilet for 10 years or more. --- I'll go on record as one of the first to go this way - Tennessee Athletic director Mike Hamilton has managed in the last few years to: - Fire the best head football coach the program has seen since General Neyland. - Hire Lane Kiffin (enough said?) - Cover for Lane Kiffin when he broke NCAA rules. - Not cover for Pearl when he broke NCAA rules (and let's face it, all the good teams bend the rules to great lengths). - Fire the best basketball coach the mens' program has ever had. I say we get rid of Athletic Director Mike Hamilton.

I hereby nominate this quote as the best 2A quote of the year: I hear a lot about "compromise" from your camp ... except, it's not compromise. Let's say I have this cake. It is a very nice cake, with "GUN RIGHTS" written across the top in lovely floral icing. Along you come and say, "Give me that cake." I say, "No, it's my cake." You say, "Let's compromise. Give me half." I respond by asking what I get out of this compromise, and you reply that I get to keep half of my cake. Okay, we compromise. Let us call this compromise The National Firearms Act of 1934. There I am with my half of the cake, and you walk back up and say, "Give me that cake." I say, "No, it's my cake." You say, "Let's compromise." What do I get out of this compromise? Why, I get to keep half of what's left of the cake I already own. So, we have your compromise -- let us call this ...

I came across this questionnaire , put out there by a gun-grabber, thanks in part to this blog , and this one . My answers: 1. Do you believe that criminals and domestic abusers should be able to buy guns without background checks? Premise of the question is faulty. Criminals should be behind bars. This would be more than sufficient to prevent them from buying guns. 2. What is your proposal for keeping guns away from criminals, domestic abusers, terrorists and dangerously mentally ill people? Again, a leading question with a faulty premise. Since it is impossible to tell who might become a criminal, we clearly cannot preclude those without a criminal record from purchasing any legal object. Those who have committed a crime should be punished. Persons in prison are not capable of purchasing firearms… or much else for that matter. 3. Do you believe that a background check infringes on your constitutional right to "keep and bear ar...
