W not convincing many

For all that many left-wing people think that the Economist should be renamed World Fascist Daily (oh Irony...), if even the Brits think he's off his twig, then perhaps the NeoCons will finally get shovelled into the shallow roadside graves they deserve.

Sadly, given the lack of conservatives among the Republican "front-runners", I won't be holding my breath....

New Burglar in Town

I know a guy who says that criminals are stupid, and that's why they chose to be criminals -- I'm not sure I completely agree with that across all spectra of crime, but surely if you are a burglar, in order not to be seen or heard at 3am, wouldn't you choose to walk in all the fallen leaves and to fiddle with all the jingly things on your keyring? And when you ducked behind a shed when someone flips on the backdoor light, would you leave the tip of your boot hanging outside of the shadowed zone?

After hearing the slide on my .270 racked, at least he was smart enough to bug out in the provided time-frame before Buster, Mr. Mag-light and I did our sweep. Given the rapidity with which the seemingly random pickup-truck blasted out of our neighborhood at 3:30 during said sweep, I assume he'll be looking for greener pastures....

Supporting Ron Paul

As everyone knows, I rather like Ron Paul, since he's the only libertarian running right now (the Libertarians, as in the Libertarian party, are a sad joke and look like they'll remain so for decades to come).

If you want to support Paul, but don't want to throw away your cash too soon, there's a new online Pledge you can sign up for that states:

"I will donate $100 but only if 1,000,000 other people will do the same."

If you're interested in signing up, the link is here.
