Last week when I made my decision I wrote a post & saved it, planning on editing it later. I'm scrapping it (save for a few select parts) & starting over. I've updated the Bloggers Firearm Instruction page & added...
Def Leppard. One of my favorite rock bands (no; not that kind of rock - & that'll be the last time I use that joke tyvm). No commentary this time. Just listen if you haven't before. Here's the vid. I've...
The last time I owned a pet I was about 10. I remember my grandfather telling me of his bird dog & showing me where he was buried in our back yard. Now this dog had died years before I...
There are two posts of mine I want to comment on. One was a stand alone post, the other - well others actually - was part of a series that I meant to finish but don't think I'll be able...
In a tax case from 1904 called McCray v. U.S. I found the following: "Let us concede that, if a case was presented where the abuse of the taxing power was so extreme as to be beyond the principles which...

I was thinking about local bands & realized that I've seen some of the best entertainers in the world, but odds are you wouldn't catch them unless you were looking for them. So here area few of my recommendations:...
Just some YouTube vids that I dig & wanted to access from one page. Mainly it's just for the song although occasionally the video itself will be cool....
I found this over at View From The Porch. It's a utility to keep your kitty from using your computer without your prior express consent. I'd almost think about trying it out but A: I don't have a cat &...
In an effort to clean out my bookmarks here are some non gun related links I thought were worth saving for one reason or a'tother....
Abigail Zsiga is not only cute as hell but she has some talent in her voice. I've only heard a handful of her tunes but it's enough for me to make a quick & dirty assessment that she has potential....
One of the best known tunes that Toto ever released & for good damn reason. It's well structured, well performed & gosh darn it, people like it. Here's the vid. David J (formerly Zombyboy) of Resurrection Song has always been...
Puddle of Mudd doesn't tune to A-440, or at least they didn't on this tune. Now contrary to popular misconception musical training (especially at the college level) does not merely consist of learning to play while drunk (though that's always...
Nope. Not a typo in the title (this time). I jokingly asked in Part One of the interview with Annika which Stacy Adams would go best with a retro 1911. Damned if she didn't answer (scroll down to question 12)....
Since I already listed the DVD's here's a list of the books on the shelf at Casa Publicola. These aren't all the books I own. A few are loaned out (for example a WW2 vet I know has most of...

Anachronista has a trailer up to Pirates of the Great Salt Lake. It's an indie film due out soon. Go to her place for the details. & Arrr, or something....
...but it got to me anyway. Probably due to the date today, as it's yet another anniversary that holds no joy. Or maybe it's just the insomnia catching up with me. But go read. It's Oscar Poppa's Mother Day post....
Just a reminder, Towel Day is May 25th. That is all....
I'm watching the debates & good Lord do I have a bad feeling about this - in a Star Wars kinda way of course. Rudy is trying to explain away his views on abortion, gun control, etc... & honestly it...
Friends, Romans, Countrymen; lend me your ears. I come not to praise the 1911 but to bury it. Okay, not bury it per se....
Back in the days when I was participating in that exercise in abstract & concrete rejection known as internet dating I saw a phrase used by several dozens of women in their profiles. I'm not talking about "Republicans/Conservatives/Libertarians/Gun nuts need...
The date is set: July 7th. Location to be determined. All that's certain about the location is that it will indeed be un-central. But check in with Resurrection Song for more details....

A Pearl Jam tune that for some reason I've always had a fondness for. It's a fairly simple tune but catchy as hell in parts. Same ol' subject; a lament from a broken hearted man who misses his lover. I...
It's a line from perhaps my favorite Van Morrison tune; Tupelo Honey from the 1971 album of the same name. Here's the tune set to some slideshow about some guy's family. & here are the lyrics. & for the helluvit...
Annika (of Annika's Journal) was kind enough to let me interview her. When I first met her she was living in Cali & had never fired a firearm before. Now she's still living in Cali but she's a gun owner,...

"Can the PlayStation 3 aid cancer research? An experimental science project reaches epic proportions courtesy of Sony's powerful processor." Interesting. As I am but a humble mostly gun blogger I recommend you read the article for yourself....
Damn. Just Damn. Take 6 doing the Star Spangled Banner. Now to be honest the Star Spangled Banner is not my favorite piece of music. Patriotism aside it's a dog. I can only think that the composers were really pissed...
Annika (of Annika's Journal) was kind enough to let me interview her. When I first met her she was living in Cali & had never fired a firearm before. Now she's still living in Cali but she's a gun owner,...

I've been looking for an excuse to post some reggae & to my surprise a Texan provided it. This isn't my favorite Marley tune, but it adheres to the title appropriate rule. Here's a vid of I Know A Place...

I've written about the song before. It's a sweet little tune by Sting that I always enjoyed listening to as much as playing but most importantly this time it's title appropriate. Here's another vid of the tune. For the next...

Being a stranger in a strange land I am sometimes looked at askance for my beverage preferences (among other things). This I hope will serve to show that we Southerners do, in fact, know what we're doing: "Tea drinkers may...
An old Stevie Wonder Tune. Not my favorite but a good one none the less. Vid Here. I found the following over at Freedomsight: "Delivery man fights gun charge It violates his rights, he says, in seeking case's dismissal" Needless...

Or maybe not. But if you buy your mom this t-shirt that'd be a good excuse to take her to the range (ammo on you of course - remember all those times she did your laundry?). Hat tip - or...
I was going to just watch the Republican Presidential Debate & see what I could gleem from it. I got about 4 minutes into it & decided to just go ahead & write down my impressions as they hit me....

Swamped. Rushed. Busy as hell. Etc. In the extended entry I offer you "metal kitty". No time to dig for the right tune (though I might try to update this post later). But my pal Anachronista has a cute little...

Natalie Imbruglia covered the tune in 1997. I thought it was a cute tune for what it was but I remember it most for a singer I dated very briefly in the late 90's. I was mildly heckling her at...
