Hadn't washed a full-size pickup in a long time;

Damn, there's a lot of metal there!

Don't think I'd like hiking in this area; daughter ran across some info on it a while back and we both agreed it'd be a place to stay clear of.


I guess this counts as 'progress' in the Obama/Holder Hopey-Changey race mindset, as it has black socialist racists calling for blood and destruction of calitolism. But I don't think most other people will like it.
“And as the Scripture said, you gotta to cross it. We gon’ have to cross the Red Sea….I know y’all thought it was talking about some sea in some Middle Eastern part of the world- hell no. We’re talking about some blood. You’re gonna have to cross some blood, and go through some blood and some battles.

“And there are those who wish they could stand in this hour, to see the destruction of the devil‘s world and the devil’s society- and I‘m ain’t talking about no dude underneath the ground with a pitchfork and pantyhose. I’m talking about that blonde haired, blue-eyed, sometimes brown-eyed, Caucasian walkin around with a mindset, a demonistic mindset, and a nature to do evil and brutality.”
...
“I’m kinda pissed off right now that the state of Florida ain’t on fire. This could not have happened in L.A. because them brothers up there are not scared to riot. This could not have happened in St. Petersburg Florida, where the black man over there are ain’t scared to kill a cracker.”

Kweli: “This is real. We’re attacked anywhere in the world and we would defend ourselves by any means necessary…You starve capitalism, since this racism that‘s being perpetuated and this brutality that’s being perpetuated, and this murder that’s being perpetuated, is built on the table legs of capitalism, you’ve got to starve capitalism.



From Feral: somebody's not paying attention to that backblast area...


Tam has some comments on the 'locavore' movement and the "I must have only organically grown veggies! And eggs ONLY from free-range hens!" people. Personally, I wonder if those folks have any real idea what all chickens eat when left to roam about...


On Gunwalker: Obama now says "I don't want you to talk to him, so go away."

From the Daily Caller -- Chaffetz: White House blocking access to ‘Fast and Furious’ witness who wants to testify.

From Dave Workman -- White House thumbs nose at Grassley, Issa over F&F request.

So I guess the question is will Issa and Grassley do something, or will Boehner & Co. stand in the way? Again?


Also found through Sipsey: Ah, Philadelphia Only Ones: some don't even have a legal right to carry a gun, but do anyway(but don't you peasants do it, or else!)
“He carries a gun, he displays a badge, he wears a uniform, but Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey is not a certified police officer, technically speaking, and shouldn't be armed, badged and uniformed,” Stu Bykofsky reported last month on Philly.com.


Speaking of politicians who prefer unarmed peasants,
The state is not only pushing to enact laws against shall-issue, but also laws to require you to pay for training for every regulated firearm you buy.

That's right – they want to change the current law to let them create a new training requirement just to buy a firearm. Nothing in law will stop them from forcing you to attend a live session or pay for training for every purchase. This is their goal – to make it so hard to exercise your rights that you will not bother.
It shouldn't be a surprise that this is in the People's Republic of Maryland.


I'm thinking less of Bill Cosby than I used to.


About that DHS ammo buy,
...the purchase of up to 450 million rounds of .40-caliber S&W 180-grain pistol ammunition. It's "the quantity projected to be used over the next five years" by DHS, excluding the Coast Guard, which gets its ammunition through the Department of Defense.
...
(For a scale comparison, the Army in 2010 ordered 200 million rounds of its improved M855A1 5.56 round for use in Afghanistan, describing that amount as a 12- to 15-month supply.)

The department was also soliciting April bids for a new supply of .233 Remington rifle ammunition -- the stuff the Army uses in its M-16s. Various Internet reports -- including one from Business Insider -- contend that order could be in the range of 125 million to 175 million rounds, though in response to repeated email inquiries, a DHS spokesman in late March would confirm only that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be seeking bids by April 12 for 90,000 rounds.

And now I need to go prune roses; they're blossoming all over
