I want one.

For $20K? I'd buy a truck that comes on a pallet and needs to be assembled.

2.2 L diesel engine, front wheel drive, 2.2 tons capacity.....able to ford 30 inches of water?

I doubt if the EPA and NTSB would let me buy one though.....

question:

I wasn't there, and I don't have all the videos....So this may not be fair.

But apparently, while the 2 black Muslims were killing the British Soldier, lots of people were "filming" their actions.

I realize that the men were armed with knives and/or cleavers/axes.

No one could find something to hit them with? I understand that law abiding Brits are unable to possess or carry firearms, but surely people could have found a way to distract these men. Surely the men passing by could find a tree limb, or a chair, or a large tone to ....discourage these animals?

Or am I missing something?



ETA: Apparently some folks "remonstrated" with the attackers AFTER the fact. Maybe there are some guts left in the British city dwellers after all.

Shades of Jack Ruby....

So, somehow, the friend of one of the brothers Kablamov Tsarnev brothers (the Boston Marathon Bombers) was involved in an investigation for murder...

And somehow, while being investigated (and, according to some reports, just before he signed a confession to a murder) he shot at an FBI agent.... and subsequently assumed ambient temperature.

Interesting.

Odd though. Lots of questions loom.

I am sure that the conspiracy theorists will make something of it. I know that I find it....convenient.

This is what happens

When you allow immigration without assimilation.

Warning: This is gruesome.

It'll happen here, if we don't change the way we handle those who want to move here from other countries. It has happened here...see also the Tsarnevs and Major Hassan...and countless Mexicans in the southwest on a smaller scale.

If we don't do something about the situation soon, it'll get worse.

Notice that it took armed police to stop them.  No bystanders were, of course, armed.

You should

Read this

Then call your Representatives and ask them to do it.

Stop it all until this gets worked out, and we have assurances that the guilty are punished, those associated are out of government service, and that it will never happen again. 

As I said below. if each of us who called, wrote or emailed out elected officials over gun control would do the same for these scandals, we might just inject some steel into their spines.

So call, write, and email.

And no lube

You CAN bet it'll happen.

Does anyone really believe?

You can take the politician out of Chicago, but you can't take the "Chicago" out of the politician. Intimidation is the Chicago Way. It works, as long as everyone lets it. As long as everyone accepts it as a way of doing business.

Lets look at a few things:

When the Obama administration revamped the dealer network for GM during the Auto bailout, the overwhelming percentage of closed dealers were conservative. Most of them were donors to the GOP or to conservative causes. No one really said anything, but we all noticed it.

Companies like Gibson guitars got hassled by, and shut down by the Justice Department. To this day, no one has stated exactly how Gibson ran afoul of the law. It has cost them millions of dollars and many jobs. Interestingly enough, they too are big contributors to conservatives.

The latest scandal is, of course, the IRS and their treatment of Tea Party and other conservative groups in their quest to follow the law regarding 501 tax exemption.

Now, I have no doubt that Obama can truthfully state that he gave no orders regarding the treatment of these (and other) conservative supporters by any of the arms of our government. I am sure that he never gave orders requiring that conservatives be hassled or held up to special scrutiny.

Remember though: King Henry II of England never gave any orders to have Thomas Beckett killed by his four knights either. While he may not have uttered the phrase "Will no one rid me of this meddling priest", Historians do say that he questioned "What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born cleric?". Four knights took this as an order and killed Beckett with swords and knives.

The knights were not arrested by the king....their actions were, instead, ignored.

Notice any parallels with todays actions by the government, with Obama as the head?

We need to pressure the Republicans to MAKE THIS STOP. They are, at this time, making a lot of noise and spending a lot of our money with their "investigation". At the least, people need to be in jail.

We need to pressure them to not, as they have in the past, made a lot of noise but , at the end, done nothing, but rather convene not only an investigation, but file charges and prosecute to the fullext extent of the law..

The persecution of conservative groups may well have had an impact on the election (and then again, with Romney running, maybe not). But squelching of dissent by the government, the damage to the political process, the stifling of free speech MUST STOP.

And while you, and I and all of our friends may lack the power to stop this, our elected officials do have the power. Sadly, I think that they lack the backbone.

If each of us that called them over gun control would call them over this debacle, we could inspire them to grow enough spine to stop this. If the response was as impressive as it was over gun control, they'd grow some backbone, just like they grew backbones over gun control when they heard from their constituents then. IF each of us took enough time, and called and wrote and emailed our representatives and Senators, we can make a difference. They like their jobs, and when we hold their feet to the fire, they do the right thing. We can make it happen.

It's better than the alternative.

Muslim Terrorists=Good, Religious Christian refugees=Bad

So our govenment gave asylum to the Tsarnev family....who turned on the country which gave them shelter, gave them money, and gave them freedom. They responded by hurting 200+ fellow citizens in an act of terror. They were granted political asylum, yet they have made frequent trips back to their homeland....Despite needing welfare to survive, they had the money for trips back to Chechnya.

Yet a peaceful family who merely wanted to teach their children in the way that they choose to, we are kicking out of the country.

Muslim terrorists are held to a different standard than religious Christians, apparently, when it comes to asylum. 

Odd.


Why? Peaceful people coming to the US for a chance at religious freedoms....Isn't there some history there? Didn't the Plymouth colonists come for that reason?

Yet we give sanctuary to people who hate us instead.....

Mind the dust

Hats off to the Elks for stepping up.

So will we

Require background checks on drivers (or purchasers) of automobiles?

Background checks for transfers?

Limits on horsepower (or cylinders)...Tire size or weight?

Guess I'll have to go to work on Monday.

My congratulations to the winners, whoever they are.

So the government made your Gas Can less than useful.....Updated at bottom

We all know that EPA regulations that went into effect in 2009 made gas cans harder to use. Easier to spill, and generally a pain in the ass. We all know that the intent was to reduce evaporation, but in reality it make the cans harder to use and promoted spills.


Strike back.

You have an alternative to buying older gas cans at garage sales to have some containers that are actually useful:

Buy this: EzPour Spout replacement kit.

This thing rocks. Fits nearly any gas can. No more waiting for the "vent"  in the nozzle to let air into the can, gurgling all the way...No more cursing the EPA as you wait for that 5 gallons of gas to slowly trickle out of the new style nozzle. No more sudden spills as your mower's tank fills up and you try to remove the spout before the tank overflows....resulting in even more spillage and subsequent evaporation.

Now, regulations would, of course, prevent you from retrofitting any gas can made after January of 2009. I would never, ever suggest that all you need to install the vent is a small drill and a half inch spade bit (fluted bits will make holes that aren't round in the plastic can)  to make the included vent replacement fit into a new can. YOU SHOULD NEVER DO THAT.  Never retrofit a vent onto a new can.

This is to replace your old spout and vent on your old can...Remember that. Not for use on newer cans. One wouldn't want to run afoul of the EPA you know.

You can find them via mail order HERE, or find your nearest retail outlet HERE.

Remember, you can't use these on newer gas cans even to make them less prone to spillage or to make them easier to use. While I am no attorney, I believe that that would be illegal. So don't. Srsly. That would be bad.




[no liberals (or Gaia worshipping hippies)were harmed in the writing of this post]

Update: I finally received a reply from the company (Ez-Pour) and their products are made is China. Likely no plastics molding company in the US wanted to possibly run afoul of the EPA....

So about that resignation::

Seems that he was leaving the IRS anyway....

Seems that Steve Miller's acting appointment was limited and was up in June anyway..

'It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June,' Miller wrote. 

So really, he's just leaving a few weeks early. 

Nicely done, Mr. Obama, you almost had me fooled there for a minute. 

Nuttin' to see here, move along....

Seems that some folks from the mideast were found trespassing AFTER MIDNIGHT in a restricted area around a reservoir.

But it's ok, they were just students on a sightseeing trip.....

Nothing suspicious.

Yeah, right

IRS scandal

SO the administration is claiming that the IRS targeting conservative groups (and, apparently, jews) is over, and steps have been taken to correct this oversight by management at the IRS.

Perhaps they are correct....

But until I see people fired for their actions, managers terminated for incompetence, people barred from government employment ever again for their complicity in this, and possibly jail time for these actions  and "oversights", I won't believe it.

Until we start coming down HARD on these sorts of actions, there will be more of them.
Until people go to jail and lose their comfy (and generous) government bennies and retirement, then there is no real reason for them not to do such things.

But you can bet that this will happen again....likely this was done at the behest of high government officials. Nothing was written down, I am sure, but you and I and most of the rest of the country believe that. 

I can't wait for the abuses ObamaCare will make possible.

Yes!

Now if they'll only put cheese and chili in the buns, life will be perfect.

One might ask:

If you were as cynical about your government (not the government itself, mind you, just the people who operate and run it) as I am, then you might begin to wonder....

Wonder about the timing of the whole apology from the IRS regarding poor treatment of any group affiliated in any way with anyone vaguely right wing (or at least perceived as right wing by the leftists at the IRS) when applying for 501-c status.

You might wonder if the whole IRS apology is an attempt to divert us from the whole Benghazi "investigation" that is currently playing out in the halls of congress. Where the lying, prevaricating and dissembling is major league levels of professionalism in a politician. Where the man who smiles has figured out who he can pin the blame on. Where the cover up is king.

How much of the IRS revelation is an attempt to make the media (and therefore the majority of left wing voters and a significant number of their brethren on the right) just plain forget about the whole mess somewhere "over there in one of them darkies countries" that was Benghazi. The failure in leadership that many of us have known about, but that the press (and now some of, but not all, of the "low information voters") are becoming aware of. The massive coverup by blaming a poorly known and distributed film that mocked Islam (sorta) all just before an election?

So ask yourself: Will we let them get away with it again? 

Depends on culture, and who raised them

But some are good, some less so, and some, sadly, are not good at all.

You'll find, here is the US, that the more rural, the nicer....the southerners are moreso than the northerners, and that east coasters and west coasters are less so than Misdwesterners.

But that isn't always the whole story.

Apparently, in Russia, it is the same.

Hint:

If you are in a service industry......:


Show the customer that you value his business....do what you promise to do.

Don't tell him after he has cancelled the contract due to non performance. Show him before he leaves.

Afterwards, don't apologize and tell him how much you value his business and want to make it up to him. Don't make promises to do better. He won't believe you.

Do better first, before you lose that customer. At least do your job.

When he calls you and tells you why he is unhappy, don't blow it off. Don't ignore him until he leaves, address his concerns before you get notice of cancellation of contract.


It is a LOT harder to fix things you should have dealt with after the customer gets mad and leaves.

And especially don't ask how you could have done better. He told you BEFORE he left.

Yes, I am pissed.  (Cintas)
