It’s time for the twice annual list of rich and famous people who can carry guns in NYC.

Via Glenn, comes this review of the new S60. The sportiest Volvo ever. Back when I was car shopping, the Volvo S60 was number two on my list except that for that model year, they weren’t making it because they were redesigning it. Looks sharp.

I’m quite happy with the G37. And the wife likes it because it doesn’t look like a Volvo.

This means the Magpul fan boys will busy for a few weeks.

Same reason your home lighting now sucks, your showers don’t feel as clean, and you have to flush your toilet twice. And the Paper of Making Up The Record apparently employs retards:

Yet now, with the content reduced, many consumers are finding the new formulas as appealing as low-flow showers, underscoring the tradeoffs that people often face today in a more environmentally conscious marketplace.

Federal mandates = environmentally conscious marketplace? Idiots.

Wednesday morning, my son was throwing up. The night before, we went through the usual fight about him not wanting dinner that we made and instead wanting something else that had more sugar in it. I put my foot down and he went to bed without dinner, though he could have had all the lasagna he wanted but not poptarts. He threw up a few times that morning and I wasn’t going to send him to school like that. So, I stayed home with him. And scheduled a pediatrician’s appointment.

He sat on the couch watching TV and drinking Sprite to settle his stomach. He sat there for about four hours. He finally got hungry and asked for Froot Loops. Having felt bad because he was sick and hadn’t eaten the night before, I gave in and let him have some. And I let him have another bowl. We get to the doctor’s office where they run tests and whatnot. The doc comes back, alarmed, and says that my son’s blood sugar is “over 300”. And they think he may have diabetes. I inform the doc that he had the Froot Loops so that was probably it. My son chimed in to say that, when I wasn’t looking, he snuck a cereal bar or maybe two. And, of course, the Sprite. Still, wanting to be safe rather than sorry, follow up tests were scheduled, as was a trip to an endocrinologist.

Just a bit ago, I got the final word that he does not have diabetes. His spike was caused by a combo of not eating dinner the night before, dehydration from vomiting, and a diet consisting almost entirely of sugary products because I felt sorry for him.

Several doctor visits, tests, vials of blood, screaming, and hundreds of dollars later, it’s because of poorly timed Froot Loops. The moral is no more FrootLoops before doctor appointments.

Paul Helmke to Jon Stewart:

Did you really suggest on the Oprah Show while promoting your Rally to Restore Sanity that when it comes to the horrific experience of school shootings that it’s not the guns that are the problem, but “crazy is the problem”?

Did you really say that if all the guns were gone that there would be “a 100,000 percent increase in school bludgeonings”? Did you, Jon Stewart, really say that?

Yes, he did. And he is correct. And that, Paul, is why you’re losing. You can’t even shore up the strident defenders of liberal policy who run fake news. Just like the real world.

In The City (My The City), the local authorities participated in a national effort to get prescription drugs off the streets:

More than 100 people came to the Blount County Justice Center Saturday to drop off unwanted prescription drugs Saturday as part of a nationwide effort to rid medicine cabinets of pills and other supplies that are easily abused.

They call it a drug take-back. Only it wasn’t theirs to begin with.

I decided I needed a large bug out knife. Not sure why but it sounded like a good idea. So, I ordered this large Kukri from Ka-bar. And because I liked that, Amazon suggested I would also like the FatMax Xtreme Fubar Functional Utility Bar. And how can I not get a tool like that?

I was going to check out the sitemeter and see who lucky visitor 5,000,000 was. But I missed. Sorry about that. So, let’s just say it was you. And you’re awesome.

John Richardson has all kinds of coverage.

From Joe Huffman. I think suppressors are the easier target for a few reasons. We do, for instance, use mufflers on heavy equipment and cars. And, of course, every so often we hear of a firing range being targeted by a nearby neighborhood because when people moved into the neighborhood, they didn’t realize guns were loud.

Just like the old one, only less believable.

Interesting mock jury research. Juries less sympathetic if you use an evil black rifle for defense. And weapon types influences police behavior. Via David, who has more.

Roberta:

I don’t debate commies, klansmen, nazis or anti-gunners, ‘cos there is no debate: they’re wrong and I don’t give a fig how many trains — or sheep — they make run on time.

The extent to which I engage anti-gunners these days is only if there is an article where the comments may sway an outside observer. Then, I’m commenting for their benefit and not that of the author.

Dick, the police in Chicago cannot be outgunned since guns are mostly illegal there.

A side by side comparison.
