Well, this is really encouraging. I'm down at the gunshop putting some guns on Gunsamerica. It was high end gun day; I was listing a $3195 Caesar Guerini 12 gauge and really beautiful SigArms X5 9mm for $2195. A guy was in the shop picking up a Beretta 92F 9mm and a stainless Super Nova 12 gauge(must be getting ready for the revolution.) We started to talk about guns and calibers. Read More

Many of the decisions being made today are responsible for the deaths of many Americans and other innocents around the world. Iraq and New Orleans are glaring examples, but lowering emissions standards for mercury as well as a plethora of other decisions will result in the injury and death of many others across the country and the world. These government policies violate the most basic rules of society and seemingly there is very little anyone can do about it. Modern society is at a crossroads. Do we continue to kill many who do not even see it coming or do we actually start letting our leaders take real responsibility for their actions. Read More

It looks like Marilyn Musgave is in real trouble in CD-4 in Colorado. According to Angie Paccione's campaign, they are in a virtual dead heat in the latest poll. This is simply amazing in CD-4. This is one of the reddest parts of the state. Paccione is goign to follow John Salazar to DC. Colorado is going to deliver in '06. How's it coming in your neck of the woods?

My diary the other day motivated a really positive discussion about the midterms, the gun toting crowd and how Bush has lost the libertarian, gun toting vote. The Republicans have relied on the gun toting vote for the 5% that puts them over the top in close elections. For the forseeable future the Republicans have potentially lost this vote because of the accumulated effect of the last five years. The NSA eavesdropping finally broke the camels back for the guys at the gun shop. These guys will NEVER be Democrats, but that is not the point. They won't vote for Republicans either unless we give them an excuse. After about 100 posts, a lot of Kossacks couldn't resist giving the gun nuts an excuse. Read More

I post gun listings for my local gun shop on Gunsamerica. I head down, take some photos, collect descriptions, and hang out at the gun shop for a hour or two shooting the shit with whoever happens to come in to shop or talk. I've never concealed my progressive tendencies and over the years the guys have come to respect my patriotism and passion for the United States. I can wear my "George Bush is a Punk Ass Chimp" T-shirt and everybody just laughs. Read More

My son explained to me tonight how his Xbox let's him talk to anyone in the world with an internet connection and an Xbox. It's free, he can use a WiFi access point or a wired network and he can talk about anything he wants in a private, invitation only gaming room. He also can set up private chats on the fly during gameplay. Then he showed me how you could use the guns in Call of Duty to send morse code messages without even talking. Read More

I make money as a real estate broker in Colorado. As part of my 2005 advertising budget, I bought a $500 ad on the AM 760 Blue List. I paid for the ad with the business I garnered, so I'll do it again next year. It was money well spent.

Unfortunately, some scum sucking repugs thought it would be fun to spread some fear uncertainty and doubt among the Blue List Advertisers. We all received the following email: Read More

It's time to emphasize the disgust hinted at in the most recent polls. It's time to use our numbers to influence the system and take Bush down. How?

We need to make sure the 30% or so of Republicans that blame Cheney and Bush for Traitorgate call their Republican representatives and their local news outlets. Now, I really don't think the disaffected Republicans will call, but ala Mike Stark it's time to make a real difference.

Inadvertence, Recklessness, and Maliciousness define the Crime

Fitzgerald has indicted Libby for obstructing justice, two counts of perjury, and two counts of lying to prosecutors. In the indictment, he also lays out the case for a violation of the 1917 Espionage Act and/or other statutes dealing with classified information, but he stops short of charging Libby. Why?

It boils down to his baseball analogy. For Fitzgerald, there is no doubt that the outing of Valerie Plame caused serious damage to national security. The batter got beaned, but was it through "inadvertence, recklessness, or maliciousness?" Once Fitzgerald answers this question, Fitzgerald will decide who gets charged with what. Read More

Fitzgerald is by all accounts a extremely intelligent pitbull of a prosecutor. It boils down to this: Fitzgerald thinks that "classified" and "security clearance" have simple,definitive legal meanings. He is going to prosecute based on the legal code and the case. BushCO believes there is CLASSIFIED and classified information and security clearances can be granted whenever you leak information to a reporter. This is legal "classified" vs political "classified." Read More

The results of BushCOs federal lands policy is bringing good paying jobs .... to the Chinese. When you read this jawdropping article from the Rocky Mountain News you will understand how Democrats can win in the West.

From the Rocky Mountain News:

The first wave of Chinese workers and their rigs are up and running in the Piceance Basin in Garfield County, the state's oil and natural gas hot spot.

Last week, a rig built in China's Sichuan province - set up by Chinese engineers and managed by a company run by Pakistani immigrants - began drilling its first well near Parachute, west of Rifle.

First, photograph all of the Operation Rescue protesters, their cars and license plates. Be really obvious what you are doing.

Second, call the property owners where their cars are parked and let the property owners know that they have twenty anti-abortion protesters trespassing on their property and assembling disgusting 6'x8' signs depicting dismembered fetuses on their property. This property owner calls in the tow trucks.

Third, call the police, so they can save your ass if things get too rough.

Fourth, wade into the crowd and start yelling "Jesus is love! Stop the Hate!" Don't stop until somebody hits you.

Fifth, hope the cops are there to stop the developing melee.

Sixth, yell "Help, they are assaulting me," when they lose it and start attacking you.

Watch with an incredible sense of satisfaction as the cops shut down the demonstration after only forty-five minutes and send everybody home whose car hasn't been towed.

Walk back to your car, buy a six pack, and enjoy a beautiful afternoon sitting on your deck watching the eagles hunt prairie dogs and rabbits behind your house.
