Quick Note

Friends and Family, The Gun Thing

I went to the Sooper-Seekrit mailbox on Saturday, and found several entries for the Parker-Hale drawing, in the form of papyrus checks, cuneiform tablets and some cash (sent by people who still trust the USPS[!]).

Fear not;  all of you were entered in the drawing, which I did the next day (Sunday).

One attached note was particularly touching:  “If I’m too late for the drawing, just send the money on to the Widow Irish anyway.”

I have the best Readers on the Internet.

And by the way:  I spoke to her yesterday and she sends her joyous thanks to everyone here.

We Have A Winner

Good Stuff, The Gun Thing

O Sage One, please call your office so that we may send you your “new” item of gunny goodness.

Congratulations to you, and many, many thanks to all who participated.  Thanks to your generosity, the Widow Irish will be getting $1,000 in her account tomorrow.

Nothing Wrong There

Conservatism, Good Stuff

Via Insty, this:

Two things to note here: firstly, Keith Self is my local guy and yes, I’m going to vote for him every chance I get.

Secondly, that fucking Muslim-only  EPCOT  EPIC City was planned to be built in Keith Self’s district (or very close to it — the maps are a little unclear).  Fortunately, that festering shithole was nuked by our worthy TxGov* but the assholes have renamed the thing and keep pushing it forward.  Self and Roy’s caucus would (I hope) stop it dead, forever.

Like I said, we need an asterisk in the First Amendment, and this is a good start.  It’s not enough just to trust the Constitution to protect our republic — see countless Second Amendment transgressions for examples — we need to start doing what the Texas constitution does and put in measures that actively resist and ban bullshit like shari’a.

*Yeah, Greg Abbott is also going to get my vote every time.

R.I.P.

Tragedy

…or not.  I see that both Jesse Jackson and Robert Duvall have recently died.

I deeply mourn the passing of one, and am dancing a jig of joy for the death of the other.  Feel free to guess which is which.

Unexpected Pleasure

Friends and Family

If blogging seems a trifle light today, it’s because most of yesterday was spent in the company of Longtime Reader UncleKenny — during which we had a fine session at my local range, followed by coffee and a long chat.

I should point out that most of the chatting was done by me, because as I seldom nowadays have any social contact with friends, I tend to jabber on endlessly when I do.  He didn’t fall asleep during said chat, and on occasion even prompted me to continue, which says much about his scholarliness and gentlemanliness.

I have without doubt the best damn Readers on the Internet.  Thanks, Ken, and it was a rare and special privilege to meet you in person.

Afterthought:  I should point out that nobody’s perfect:  he did bring a Glock to the range after all, but at least it was chambered for the manly .45 ACP and not the other rubbish.  And anyway, such lapses in taste can always be forgiven among friends.
