I broke down and bought some shotgun reloading stuff today. It was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. I'll post up some pictures in the next few days, after I get it sorted and cleaned up.
If you live in the Midwest neck of the woods, and you don't use it already, Midwest Gun Trader is a pretty awesome tool. It is more active in Kansas and Missouri than in the rest of the covered States, but some are starting to take off a little. If you pimp it around a little in your area, it probably wouldn't take long to grow.
Anyway, the stuff I got is Lee. It's supposed to be good stuff. It is used, which I don't mind. There are still parts and accessories available for it so that helps. And the guy threw in some extra goodies.
I think I will have everything I need to do 12ga, 20ga and 16ga shells.
Now I'm itching to pick up some primers, shot and powder. I need to separate out all of my hulls by gauge, and start de-priming. Woohoo!
I've kind of been looking forward to this for a while. Big Mullet is a huge reloading guy, but he doesn't do shotgun stuff. He sticks with rifle and pistol. But a lot of the knowledge he has on the hobby will really help me get off to a running start.
I have to say, I was expecting a little more out of a CANNON episode. It was a bit boring. Maybe it was just me. I don't know.
I think if the teams had been able to shoot all of their shots in a row, maybe with a time limit or something, it would have added a little edge to it.
The way the challenge was done... it was just slow.
I understand why it was done in a back and forth kind of contest. There were more gun movements and people involved in the aiming, etc.
I have to tell you though, the guy Kyle, on the red team, is one sharp cookie. The way he manipulated the elimination challenge was just about genius. He saw the rift and fixed it. He is running the team like a real TEAM.
The elimination challenge was pretty cool. The atlatl is an awesome weapon. Those guys actually picked it up quick and did a good job with it. Chris, of course, did a better job than Tim, but neither of them were horrible at it.
Next week looks like it will be fun. The trick shooting is always interesting.
Romney took the Illinois Primary in a pretty decisive fashion. He is up to 563 delegates. Compare that to the 263 that Santorum has and it's not hard to see that this is over. Romney is going to be the guy. At this point it's hard to imagine it turning out any other way.
So, with that in mind, all of the back and forth is doing nothing but further alienating people from one guy or another. I thinks it about time for us to start coming together behind one guy and start building a team.
Believe me, I wish we would have had some other options. We didn't. This is what we have. We have to play the cards we are dealt. Romney can beat obama. He needs to start gearing up for that battle.
Wow! This article talks about a video made by nancy pelosi's daughter. In it she is talking to welfare recipients that don't want a job. Imagine that. People who are perfectly happy taking everything the government is willing to give them.
If you also notice, there are still people trying to play up the slavery thing. Holy shit people! That was over a long time ago. We have to get past that in this Country.
This is what democrats refuse to understand, republicans want to help people, they really do. They want to help people stand on their own two feet, have some self respect, make their own way in this world. If that requires a short term HAND UP from our government, great. But generational welfare is bad, very bad. It's unsustainable, as the good people of Europe are finding out the hard way.
Sure, there will always be those that can't help themselves. They are the exception. I, and every other conservative I know, want those people to have whatever they need.
But the people who insist on a lifetime of living at someone else's expense is just wrong. If you are able to work and function, you should be responsible for yourself and your family.
Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, who courted conservative controversy with a video short showing the sometimes racist views of toothless Mississippi rednecks, has enraged liberals with a second video: New York welfare recipients.
But Alexandra Pelosi admits it wasn’t easy getting the video on television. “All the people I work with at HBO, all the people I grew up with, said, ‘You can’t put that on TV.’
“Somehow [I was] allowed to do it to the toothless rednecks, but when it was our neighbors, it was wait a second, they got defensive,” she told Bill Maher on his HBO show, “Real Time.”
The people Pelosi interviewed at a welfare office on New York City’s 14th Street, admit they don’t want a job, and support President Barack Obama “because he gives me stuff,” and “because he’s black.”
One man smokes and drinks Budweiser through a straw as he stands on line. He laughs as he admits to having five children by four different mothers. He tells Pelosi, “I’m here to get a check … whatever they’ve got to offer, it’s not like they’ve got a checklist … I’m just here to get what I can get.”
Pelosi was attacked by conservatives for being selective in the people she depicted in her video from Mississippi. One man in that video said, “This is America, our president should be American, not Muslim.”
Alexandra Pelosi, the youngest of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s five children, admitted to Maher that she didn’t have to go far to speak to the people she called “freeloading welfare queens,” as the office is “right downstairs from where I live.”
She asks one man, “Why should I help you? Why should my tax dollars be going to you?” He responds, “Only because my ancestors came here to help build this place – my ancestors, the slaves.”
He said the last time he worked was “half a decade” ago, and he wasn’t looking for a job – “maybe a career, but not a job.”
Another said he was on welfare “because of my background. Once you go to jail, it’s hard to get a job.”
The only white person she interviewed, a young woman, said she was there to get food stamps. “It’s just food,” she said.
Pelosi said the film showed the entitlement culture is causing problems for the party her mother leads in the House. “We have to address the fact that this is why Democrats are losing ground. And this is a problem in America. The entitlement culture has gotten so big that we are losing our own people,” she said.
The Emmy-nominated documentary maker also predicted outrage among her fellow liberals, saying she expected “a left-wing feeding frenzy” about her report.
Reaction to the video was swift.
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly said he would find a way to put the father-of-five in jail. He said Pelosi’s film showed “a subculture that says, ‘Look, I’m a victim, you owe me, and I’m going to support this president because he will deliver a bigger gift than the other guys will.’ ”
More blame. What else would you expect out of this group of cowardly thugs?
The unpopularity of obamacare couldn't have anything to do with the fact that it is a suck ass bunch of crap? A suck ass bunch of crap that is so bad it required blackmail, coersion and bribery to pass? It couldn't have anyting to do with the fact that it hands over 1/6 of our economy to the federal government? It couldn't be that it is a HUGE, MASSIVE violation of the Constitution?
Do you know how unpopular obamacare is? Let me tell you. The people in at least 26 States have forced the attorney general of their State to join the lawsuit against obamacare.
In my State, Missouri, our attorney general, chris koster has his head buried in obama's ass and doesn't care about the will of the people in this State. So instead we went to ballots and voted to throw obamacare out of our State by 71% of the vote.
And still, after all of the millions of TAX dollars spent by this administration in SUPPORT of this horrible legislation, 2/3 of the people in this Country support getting rid of all or part of obamacare.
But, as usual, it's someone else's fault, dumbasses...
The White House says the democrats’ health care is unpopular only because its opponents have spent “hundreds of millions of dollars” criticizing it.
More than two-thirds of Americans, or 67 percent, believe the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as obamacare, should either be repealed in its entirety or stripped of the individual mandate, which requires every American to buy insurance, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll.
Another poll published Monday in The Hill newspaper said 49 percent of Americans believe the U.S. Supreme Court will rule Obamacare unconstitutional. Only 29 percent predicted the court would uphold the law, and 22 percent were not sure.
At a press briefing on Monday, White House Press Secretary jay carney did not say whether President barack obama would mark the upcoming anniversary of the law he signed with such fanfare two years ago on March 23. But Republicans do plan to mark the anniversary by touting the law’s drawbacks.
In response to a reporter’s question about polls indicating a lack of support for the law, carney on Monday linked the poll data to the “hundreds of millions of dollars that was spent attacking” the law.
