On travel. So, some random stuff that was actually typed last night. Blogging from the past, spooky, eh? Quote of the day: If a meteorologist can’t get the weather forecast right 3 days from now, why should I EVER put any stock in what someone says the weather will be like in 100 years? He […]

Tam: Also, it seems that the Norks are busy finding out the hard way that, if it comes to choosing which is the more important trading partner, Beijing is going to pick Bentonville, Arkansas over Pyongyang any day of the week. Les Jones (in comments): Tennessee is an amazing place, isn’t it? Here, even liberal […]

Kevin and Robb point out their surprise that I wrote a post longer than two lines. Ya know, I used to write longer posts. But once I started writing shorter aggregating type posts, traffic shot up. I think my readers have short attention span. Less is more, and all that. And if you think ab […]

Bernd Debusmann writing at Reuters notes that gun culture in the US is fading. And by notes I mean re-prints Violence Policy Center propaganda. In fact, here’s a link to their study. And by study, I mean a reprint of data from other sources. But it beats their usual method of calling Google searches studies. […]

So, it looks as though WKRN gave AC his boys back. You’d have never seen this two weeks a go. Update: Ya know, on second reading, it would seem the post is less the balls out editorializing of the past than a relatively tame “news analysis.” Still though, more thinky less linky is always a […]

I haven’t been myself for a couple of weeks. You may have noticed. I went from irrationally harsh (I think the point stands, but I was a dick about it) to all linky, no thinky on the blog. And the reason why is quitting smoking. I tried. I tried again. I stopped blogging about it […]

Tennessee blogs reacted to the news that Bill Hobbs was shutting down with disbelief and accolades. Except A.C.: It has always amazed me how Hobbs has managed to hold the position he does in the Nashville Blogosphere — most specifically the conservative side of it. He is considered “The” conservative blog in Nashville. Why? His […]

[AKA All Linky, No Thinky: Tgirsch Edition, AKA “What I’m reading today.”] Since Uncle’s on the beach enjoying his vacation, I figured I’d give you folks some blog fodder to get you all worked up: I voted today. Spoiler alert! I voted Democrat. *gasp!* The Guardian (UK): All the screaming you’re hearing about “voter fraud” […]

I’ve made fun of me over the lack of content here lately. And so have others. I’ve written longer posts that are more thinky than linky. Lately, it’s more linky than thinky. But I’ve been doing this a while. Frankly, I’m out of shit to say. Want to talk about issues? I have. Pick one. […]

Here’s a presser on why gun nuts aren’t important because there are so few of us. It says: Contrary to public claims by the gun industry and the gun lobby, firearms ownership has declined dramatically over the past 35 years according to new survey data from the General Social Survey (GSS) released today by the […]

Sorry but thems the breaks. Meanwhile, some linky and no thinky: The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership and math. The first pro-gun candidate for president is in, Bill Richardson. Funny that the first pro-gunnie is a Democrat. I’m not sure how pro-gun he is since he voted for the assault weapons, though rumors are […]

To proprietors of link farms and sites that just re-post feeds: I don’t care that you copy entire posts from me but please stop sending trackbacks and pingbacks. You’re just noise on Al Gore’s Internets and I have no use for you. Buy an ad if you want a link back. Glenn Reynolds: Dude, every […]

Brittney G. drops the linky and breaks out the thinky: Corker spent all his time, effort, money and energy cementing in the minds of Tennesseans that he is a far-right Republican. Ford, the known Democratic contender for some time, has been running as a moderate Democrat, with ads that place emphasis on immigration, national security […]

All linky, no thinky. Busy today but here’s some stuff: Gunner has a link to a nifty looking AK scope mount. I dig the Ultimak. Looks like the one gunner likes bolts to the gun to eliminate rocking and travel, which is a problem with most AK receiver mounts. The gun buyback in Memphis nets […]

Well, sort of: On March 1, 2006, WKRN-2 in Nashville, Tennessee ran a short news feature on the best ways to deduct charitable donations on your income tax report. The segment, which was introduced and read by afternoon anchors Bob Mueller and Anne Holt, featured numerous tax deduction tips and a lengthy soundbite from an […]

So, my days consist of getting up early and getting home late. Minimal blogging from the client site since I’m busy and, well, they actually pay by the hour (yeah, someone actually does that these days – I’m used to flat fees). S0, I check email and address a few comments from the job but […]

Parenting will win, of course. That’s the point of this peice: Really, it all comes down to education. Guns, the NRA and the Second Amendment are not the enemy. They don’t advocate murder or school shootings. And, again, sorry for the light blogging and all the linky-no-thinky posts. Busy.

Michael Silence has some. And, given the propensity for other bloggers to ask me for links, I’ll give you the top reasons why I don’t read your blog: All linky, no thinky. Would it kill you to actually, you know, write something? If you’re just parroting, set up a link farm. You tilt at windmills […]
