A day that will live in infamy

Monday's Birthdays include:

President Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Dean, Dr. William O. Wrights, and S. R. Kidd.

The most notable being this English gentleman:

Several things to note based on the British healthcare system:

1- British Teeth
2- Access to prescription drugs (I said PRESCRIPTION drugs)

Not to mention, Riddick Bowe, and Antonio Bandares, but who is S. R. Kidd?

I knew a Kidd Brewer Jr, he was a local Bad Boy / Hero / movie diver and actor. But S.R. Kidd, I got nuttin



OT

bought a new toy yesterday, Ruger P95, 9mm. $325, 2 15 mags. we both liked the feel, weight, etc, Mrs Schteveo liked it better than the Kel-Tec .380 (ammo WAS available there limit 100 rounds from this same dealer) She said the .380 felt "funny or slick" n her hand, my hand swallowed it

Can't wait to make the Ruger go bang, bang.


Along those lines, Gun Show Topic,

guns, ammo, scopes, IR sights, accessories, etc, just FLYING out of the gun show. Been a couple of years since we hit a gun show, I'd forgotten how polite gun nuts are. Saw plenty of "collectable" pistols and rifles, but what was selling was reasonably priced weapons of Socialist Gub'ment Destruction.

Heads Up, Pelosi, Reid, BOHICA...

Look at the 10th, not the 9th

He is a lesser known, under appreciated patriot.

A very Happy Birthday to my bud BOW! ;) I owe you a drink.

Nice choice Steve. Remember, practice makes perfect.

anon,
what I wrote, IS from the 10th.

Bot, OK, I missed it because Mr. KidD doesn't usually use the second "D". Happy day Billy O, you've survived another year, despite the ministrations of a gub'ment gone mad. Many, many more to you.



Spider,
I intend to use it until I feel like it's an extension of my body, then do it as often s possible, until I'm too old to lift it.

(hmmm...I'm gonna practice with the pistol too)

Kids, if I was an elected worm, at any level, I'd be shaking in my boots, those people were pissed at that gun show.

We saw a number of young, middle-class, minivan driving, grade schoolers in tow & kids in strollers families, looking at and buying weapons. It was NOT the usual Mossy Oak, deer hunting, git-er-done crowd I’ve typically seen at Central NC gun shows before

Best bumper sticker of the day
(and many were sold and stuck to vehicles we saw in the parking lot)

“When SECONDS COUNT, the POLICE are only MINUTES AWAY”

There’s a change in the political and attitudinal air, concerning guns and young, middle-class, city dwelling families, when that sticker is on the back window of a Ford Aerostar, or Toyota Sienna, right above the magnetic soccer ball, and the “Jesus Fish”.

I'm pretty sure this is how the American Revolution, and probably, the Civil War started. A small shift in who has and is was willing to use guns to defend themselves. And be it, King George, those Damned Yankees or those Dumbasses in DC, the worm has turned. And I doubt the power hungry nuts will attempt to turn it back. History shows, they rarely if ever GIVE power back.

Power must be TAKEN, not given.

Spider said...

"Power must be TAKEN, not given."


APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE! And (if) the day comes when we do take the power back, we had better learn to be "far more" careful who we entrust with it in the future.

(the relavance is uncanny. Was this written in the 60's?)

Oh, lend me your ear
While I call you a fool
You were kissed by a witch
One night in the wood

And later insisted
Your feelings were true
The witches promise was coming
Believing he listened
While laughing you flew

Leaves falling, red, yellow, brown
All look the same
And the love you have found
Lay outside in the rain

Washed clean by the water
But nursing its pain
The witches promise was coming
And you're looking elsewhere
For your own selfish gain

Keep looking, keep looking
For somewhere to be
Well, you're wastin' your time
They're not stupid like he is

Meanwhile leaves are still falling
You're too blind to see
You won't find it easy now
It's only fair

But he was willing to give to you
But you didn't care
You're waiting for more
But you've already had your share

The witches promise is turning
So don't wait up for him
He's going to be late

.F.Y.I.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. (net worth: $19 million). She’s the daughter of “Old Tommy” d’Alesandro, whose “parking garage” connections forced him out of the Maryland gubernatorial race in 1953, and the sister of Franklin D. Roosevelt “Roosey” d’Alesandro, arrested in 1954 along with 15 other youths, as Time magazine reported at the time, for “taking two girls, ages 13 and 11, on an all night joy ride and keeping them in a furnished flat for a week. He was acquitted of the rape charge, but out of the investigation of this case grew a perjury indictment against 21-year-old Roosey.” Nancy’s mama, Anunciata, got into trouble that same year when she admitted on the witness stand to receiving $11,000 from a contractor named Dominic Piracci, who was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the city. Oddly enough, Piracci’s daughter married Tommy d’Alesandro III, who later followed his father into the Baltimore mayoralty. All in the family!

Now you know the rest of the story.
