Liberals and guns

I think I've figured out part of the disconnect between liberals and guns.   They say they just want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.  However, they think everyone with a gun is a criminal.  So what they are really saying is that want to keep guns out of the hands of everyone.

Hammer's Jackpot meme

When your only tool is a hammer...: Hammer's Jackpot meme.

You just won the mega powerball jackpot to the tune of 150 million dollars (after taxes)

1. What would be the very first thing you would do? Pay off all my debts.

2. Where would you choose to live? I like Phoenix a lot, but might consider a summer home back in Western New York.

3. What kind of house would you live in? Nice little (4-6br) ranch.  Very very large yard.  No, lot.  No, acerage.   Yea a lot of acreage.  Big garage.  LARGE pool.

4. What kind of car would you buy? 1967 Camaro

5. Where would you vacation? I like Hammer's idea of traveling the US in motor home.  Other than that I'd probably just stay home.

6. Would you have anything on your body fixed? Yea, my missing tooth. :(  Implants are freaking expensive.  Oh and maybe a new left knee.

7. What kind of hobbies would you engage in? This is a tough one.  My interests in things kind of comes and goes.  Right now I'd like to learn gun smithing.  I've done the ham radio thing.  Might even go back to that with some money to put in it.

8. What charities would you donate to? Ones that give a hand up, not a hand out.  Sponsor some Olympic athletes.

9. Would you give money to your relatives? I'd set up college trust funds for kids that aren't of college age yet.  And maybe buy some gifts.

10.Would you run away from your current life? No.  Just adjust a few things.

11. Would you continue to work? I'd find something useful to do.  But this job would be history.

12. Would the money change you in any way? Probably, but I hope it would be in good ways.

First woman constable wins with just a single vote

Finally I can start blogging regularly

The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator.

Far Out I just climbed out from under my rock and realized I have not updated this since Hammertime was in the charts... You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!.

I am hopped up on caffeine with setting fire to people wearing Crocs, watching the grass grow, just generally being of great concern to various lawyers I met recently, my day is filled with fluorescent light from crawling out of bed at 6.30 to I run out of alcohol. I am beyond drunk most of the time. but who cares.

I probably I will update you with my nefarious activities as soon as I get a chance. No, really! Don't hold your breath though, you're likely to turn blue..

Monsoon is the season, not the storm!

This petty little piece of information seems to have the ability to drive me freakin' insane.� Monsoon is the name of the season.� It's an approx. 2 month period of increased humidity in Arizona,� often accompanied by some thunderstorms.� When such a thunderstorm occurs it is NOT called a monsoon.� It's just a freakin' thunderstorm.� Or if you really feel the need, a monsoon storm.

thank you.� please go back to what you were doing.

Windfall profits for Exxon? Not so much

CARPE DIEM: Exxon Posts Record $32.36 Billion Tax Payment.

Exxon paid almost 3 times as much in taxes as they made in profits.

Coyote Blog has this to say

"ExxonMobil (XOM) is a cyclical company that is following on 20 years of middling prices for their commodity and finally have a price spike, and they only manage to make 8.5% return on sales  ($11.68 billion profit on $138 billion of revenues).  At the top of their cycle they are barely making the same profit margin as the average industrial company.  This is not good.   Sure, the absolute dollars are large, but it is a large company, and the absolute dollars of revenues, expenses, and taxes are also large."
