ZOMG WORSE PLOWING EVAR!!!eleventy

That was a theme on the radio yesterday. Now, it would help if Des Moines had not been bragging about their new snowplows that were supposed to "solve all the plowing problems in the past". And last seasons snow totals equaled this storm's amount (pretty close) with a helping of blizzard conditions to really pack it in. Doesn't seem much better or worse at this point- some storms do take days to dig out from.

Build your own Daniel Defense Rifle

Daniel Defense has a web based builder for their uppers/rifles, supposedly in advance of ordering DDM4 rifles on December 26. Kinda fun to play with. I did find out their 6.8 barrels will be 1-11" twist, at least on the 18" length. Also, the builder doesn't like the 300 Blackout, it wouldn't let me add a handguard.

Republican gun owner butt

No, not Scott Brown of Massachusetts, some random judge appointed by a Republican president. (his words) He did preside over the douche bag from Tucson's trial and let him plead away the death penalty, so he is pretty squishy on punishment, if you ask me. He also admits the only way to really make a dent in the problem he has with guns is shredding the constitution and cattle cars.

I like my tires

I've switched from dedicated snow tires on my Silverado 4x4 to Firestone Destination AT tires. I liked the Firestones when I had them on my Grand Cherokee. (POS otherwise) I would have bought them for the Silverado several years ago, but found a deal on snow tires mounted on take off rims that I could not pass up. Snow tires on a 4x4 are cheating. But they wear like an eraser on a belt sander. And they work best on ice, okay on snow. The Destination AT's work damn well on both, in my experience.

12 inches of global warming

This sucks. It is over the intake of my 26" snowblower. And a blizzard.

I never understood why

The Brady Bill banned cosmetic features on rifles and included magazine limits to 10 rounds. Brady was shot with a 22 revolver. By a mental patient. Guess in the hurry to ban guns in 1994, they forgot something.

Great. Joe's got this

On one hand, not sure if serious. But, it is Joe AWB Biden. Actually, it is more telling that Teh Won got grilled on taxes after the special "not a commission" was announced. Don't think he really expected that; maybe the natives are getting tired of his pissing match with Boner, or at least their polls are showing them that and are trying to give Obama a hint. Funnier still are all the antis worried that their rush to take away guns is less important than passing a bill of attainder on success taxes and spending cuts.

USA Today: ban the sun!

They run a headline saying Mass Killings Occur Every Two Weeks. Then they admit 1/3 of mass killings involve fire. Read further, the number of mass killings has gone DOWN in recent years. The kicker, you are more likely to die from a migrane,  falling out of a chair(!!!!11!) and are 3 times as likely to get sunstroke and die as be caught in a mass killing. Hence, they must support sun control. No word if Congress will be introducing a Sun Free Zone bill without a sunset provision in it. Maybe the Guam tipping over mental midget can introduce it.

Gun Free Zone Education

Some people just don't know history, so we are condemned to educate them on source of the blood they dance in.

Pop up polls

I really think they need an extra response, for example:

Are you going to use Product "X"

___Maybe

___Likely

___If it is on sale

___Because you wasted 5 seconds of my time and I had to click close, I will never use your product and go out of my way to avoid other products made by your company in the future.

Disgusting

CBS has special bumpers for the nightly news cast "Tune in for more coverage of Sandy hook." Bloodthirsty ghouls.

Hypocritical Mayors Against Illegal Guns

Bloomberg doesn't know what a gun would have done in the Sandyhook situation. So why does he have bodyguards? Shouldn't his people just talk down anyone who might get near the mayor? Besides, with the NYC's track record, innocent bystanders probably will get hurt. But, they can then stop and frisk them for contraband.
