You can get this T-shirt in a shop on Wilshire Blvd. in the People’s Republic of Santa Monica (CA).

Woo Hoo! I’ll bet that I’m the first kid on my block to have a nice new HELLER KITTY Tee shirt! (Image, right – click to maxify.)
We ordered it as soon as we saw it after the Heller/DC SCOTUS Decision in June. It showed up yesterday from Image In Media. I promptly washed it and took this picture (click to enlarge). I’m going to wear it to the range on Sunday when we go shooting.
Thanks to Michelle at Image In Media for the personal service and prompt delivery. I hope she sells a million of them! 🙂
I stated on our not-very-political personal blog that I was a daily reader of the on-line Dilbert cartoon. Recently, the folks at www.dilbert.com upgraded their site to a nice new interactive format. One of the many new features is an animated cartoon strip. Another feature challenges the reader to produce a better punch line than Scott Adams, the artist that produces Dilbert.
Which brings me to this little animation, “The Knack,” that pokes a little fun at some of us who are a bit on the nerdy side. I’m not sure where this originated, since I got it in an email from an associate. At any rate, I think it’s worth the one-minute run time to learn about little Dilbert’s “Knack.”
UPDATE: Moved to the top since our servers were messed up yesterday and folks may not have seen this.
Just move this window around until this cute li’l pug gets all of it.
Seriously – this just made us both go with big smiles and chuckles. Enjoy.
Listening to both the Democrats and Republicans is pretty boring stuff. It starts out with every candidate’s over use of the personal pronoun – me, me, me – I, I, I.
Especially boring is the empty rhetoric from the Obama campaign . . .
Paleeeeze, Barack – say something with some substance! You’re even boring my dog!
You remember the answer that Miss Teen South Carolina gave when she was asked why one-fifth of Americans can’t find the United States on a map. I couldn’t find a transcript of her incoherent ramblings but this is a synopsis of the event:
“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps,” she ventured.
During her meandering response, she also tossed in out-of-the-blue references to “the Iraq” and “Asian countries” and their need for the support of the American educational system in identifying the United States on the map.
Upton is described as a varsity athlete and student leader at Lexington High School, where she graduated in June with a 3.5 GPA.
Despite the on-camera gaffe, Upton finished as third runner-up.
And then there was this screed from Senator John F’n. Kerry in response to media questions about a recent tornado disaster:
[I] don’t want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms,” Kerry said. “And insurance companies are beginning to look at this issue and understand this is related to the intensity of storms that is related to the warming of the earth. And so it goes to global warming and larger issues that we’re not paying attention to. The fact is the hurricanes are more intensive, the storms are more intensive and the rainfall is more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed.
Maybe it’s just me, but that made less sense than Miss Teen SC’s response.
Miss TSC had the disadvantage of being in a high-stress situation, and did the best she could do given her state of mind.
Kerry, on the other hand, fights his way through to be in front of the media, and is certainly used to bloviating. I can’t cut him any slack for that, and he sounded like an idiot while trying to politicize the tornado disaster.
Despite his lack of articulation, however, Kerry finished second in his last big contest. Go figure.
Please don’t associate the “point ‘n’ click” terminology with computers – unless the *&^$@ computer dies and just might make a better target than a tool. Come to think of it, even though the hard disk died, it’s possible it could be recovered and read by unauthorized persons. Any personal data on the hard drive should be destroyed.
Hmmmmm – a remote area, the Glocks and this defunct laptop – it might be fun.
Naah – I’ll just remove and destroy the drive and take the rest to the recycler.
