Kate and I have survived another grueling trip to the Caribbean. This time we spent a week in Jamaica at the Couples Resort at Tower Island. I had the opportunity to try SCUBA diving, sailing a Hobie Cat, water skiing, horseback riding and snorkeling. Loved all of it. We ate lots, [...]
Every citizens nightmare has happened in NY. A man holding a firearm in the open was shot by the cops. It is not clear if any orders were given to the man who was killed or even if the plain clothes cops identified themselves as police. Except this time the cops got one of their [...]

I have been hearing to rumors of a possible McCain/Liberman ticket today. I remember quite some time ago someone saying that if either candidate crossed the aisle and took a member of the other party as a VP they would win the Presidency. Now we are days away from the possibility becoming a reality. Being [...]
I have been getting email newsletters from a guy named Tim Schmidt from Jackson, Wisconsin who runs an organization called the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) for about a month now. At first I was interested in what the organization might offer to American citizens. I was especially enthused by Tim’s assertion [...]
