Her birthday is in June. I can’t wait.

After my car bleg (lots of excellent comments, thanks!), I’ve decided on either the Infiniti G37 or Volvo S60. Unfortunately, the 2010 Volvo is some concept model which isn’t available until 2011. So, pretty much limits me to used, which is fine. I usually buy used anyway. Thoughts?

Heh

Or we win because they’re still tilting at the same wind mill.

Alan Gura’s brief:

Unable to articulate the correct standard for substantive due process incorporation, or interpret the Privileges or Immunities Clause, Respondents offer irrelevant political arguments against application of the right to keep and bear arms against the States, failing to accept that the decision to secure the right in our Constitution has already been made.

Respondents being Chicago.

And now the scientific credibility of Jenny McCarthy is like that of Al Gore’s:

at the time he published his paper slamming vaccines and which started the antivax craze, he was developing an alternative to vaccinations, so he had a very large monetary incentive to make the public distrust vaccines.

This will come as a shock to no one:

As a matter of policy, I often link things and try (sometimes) to leave names out of the posts. Reason is that the one time I made a smart ass remark about someone dying because they did something stupid, one of their family members googled the deceased’s name. And found me. And they had some choice words. And, well, who wants to go through that? And I mean both them and me. I mean, imagine googling someone you care about and finding me saying that they were so stupid they couldn’t find their own ass with two hands and an ass map. Your objectivity about the stupidity of their actions is tainted. And I’m just some guy on the internet.

I do not remove names for criminals.

I’ve also gone back and removed names when people email me and say they found my post after they googled their names only to find me pointing out a bit of embarrassment or some such. I tend to oblige those requests too. After all, if you’re job searching, you don’t want them to find you saying something stupid on the internet.

Today, I got one from a Brit who was not breaking the law nor doing anything stupid and who I actually complimented. Out of country, they decided to shoot some guns. And the pics were causing some negative press at home. And it’s England and they pee their panties at the thought of guns.

I obliged as well.

A meme started by Marko and picked up on by Jay is what’s in your pockets. Well, here’s what’s in mine:

Clockwise from top left:

DOPP Regatta Magnetic Money Clip and Card Holder. I used to carry a decent wallet but it became uncomfortable. So, I went thin.

A Leatherman Skeletool, which I highly recommend.

KelTec P3AT with Crimson Trace Lasergrip. Both highly recommended as well.

Extra magazine.

My Droid, which I also happen to love and, apparently, can’t stop talking about.

And a Crimson Trace pocket holster made by Galco.

I pretty much carry that stuff every day. Can carry it all in just about any clothing I choose to wear.

In case you live in East Tennessee and haven’t heard: ZOMG!!!!111ONE WE”RE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE A BLIZZARD IS COMING.

Most area schools called a preemptive strike yesterday and announced their closure while it was still 55 degrees outside. Except our kids’ schools, who decided to be the only school system on this side of the state to stay open. But they just called and said they’re closing 2 hours early.

Still, I have yet to see any snow.

From a Presser:

STI International, a leading manufacturer of competition firearms for the Practical Shooting market, presented officials from the U.S. Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) with a check for $9,000 during the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The check brings the company’s total commitment to funding USPSA programs to $23,500.

I guess with this camouflage taser, you’re supposed to go in the woods and tase a deer into submission. Now that would be something to watch.

And by dead, I mean devoid of any real meaning when hurled as an accusation.

Bin Laden blasts US over global warming:

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
