Well Now
Whilst I absolutely deplore this heinous act…
…who among us hasn’t felt exactly the same way each and every time we submit our tax return?
All I can say is: “Put me on her jury.”

When Gammy Cuts Loose
Here’s a heartwarming story for y’all:
A grandmother who is using dating apps at the age of 70 said she looks and feels decades younger – and is having the best sex of her life.
Well, fine; and good for her. If you rediscover the fire at whatever the age, then go for it.
My simple question: Why do does she have to tell us all about it in the flipping newspaper?
Of all the things we’ve lost in recent times, I think the loss of personal modesty is one of the worst. Personally, I blame the Baby Boomers for starting it all — and at age 70 (my age), our proud shagger above is a perfect example.
Spread your wrinkled legs all you want, dearie. Just don’t feel you have to share your story with the world.
The Full Story
Sundance has a piece that everyone should read — Trump, Patel, Gabbard and Bondi most of all — concerning the whole disgusting political hit called “Crossfire Hurricane” (a.k.a. RussiaGate).
Using access to the NSA database, the U.S. Govt., specifically “FBI Contractors”, began doing political surveillance of Donald Trump’s campaign. This intel was then sent to the Clinton team. Clinton would benefit from knowing the communication inside the Trump campaign. All of that intel was in the metadata captured by the NSA and searched by the FBI contractors.
All of this activity was political surveillance, using govt resources to feed the Clinton team the info.
I know; “This is such ancient history, Trump’s president now, can’t we all just move onnnn?”
No. Now more than ever, the people culpable for the whole thing need to be rooted out, exposed and prosecuted — because if they aren’t, this bullshit is going to happen again, and this time, it might work.
Sundance, as usual, has the right of it.
That’s A Lorra Lorra Rounds
From this article about newcomers to the shotgun market:
Mossberg | 590M Standoff
Specifications
Gauge: 12; 2¾-inch chamber
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds
Barrel Length: 14.375 inches
Overall Length: 27 inches
Weight: 6 pounds, 5 ounces
MSRP: $1,050
Apart from my distaste for the sawn-off buttstock, I have to say I think this might be a leeeeetle too much — because 10 rounds of 12ga ammo is going to ad more than a few ounces to the 6.5lbs of the gun.
Speaking for myself, if I had to pick one of the guns in the above article, I’d rather go with the
Heritage | Coachwhip
Specifications
Gauge: 12; 3-inch chambers
Capacity: 2 rounds
Barrel Length: 18.5 inches
Overall Length: 35.43 inches
Weight: 6 pounds, 12 ounces
MSRP: $984.99
Yeah, it’s actually heavier than the Mossberg above — but that extra weight comes from the longer barrels — which is where it should be, to help with recoil and accuracy. And it looks lovely, where as the mag-fed Mossberg… ’nuff said.

And the rest of the guns listed… meh.
That said, if I were in the market for a self-defense pump shottie, it is and always will be the peerless Mossberg 590 Mariner:
Full stock, 20″ barrel, 8 rounds in the mag (same number as in my 1911, FYI), indestructible finish… pretty much all one might need, methinks. One day I might sell one of my spare guns to buy this one. If I had a spare gun to sell, that is.
