They have a bunch of nice choices, right now. AK variants in .223 and 7.62×39, a lovely Yugo SKS, and small group of others.
If you have been shopping or window shopping lately, you know that this is quite the Christmas gift because most of the cupboards are bare. Don’t delay.

Evangelical megachurch pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, will deliver the invocation at Barack Obama’s inauguration next month…
Rick Warren represents a large demographic which represents people willing to give the incoming president the benefit of the doubt.
Despite all the fear that has been expressed here (by me) and elsewhere, it may just be [...]

Climate change, indeed.
As a learned proponent of the global warming concept once explained to me: part of the phenomenon is, the temperature getting colder.

I spent a few hours with Ben Dover and Loudoun Insider tonight. We hashed out the great issues of the day over buffalo wings, sliders, quesadillas and towering vessels of mead. The obscure local establishment, nomenclatured oddly enough after my favorite day of the week, provided a convivial atmosphere for debate and argumentation.
What I provided [...]

Look, it’s kind of a shame they had to break this out on GW Bush, because Bush is a decent guy, but all things considered I think it might be a positive contribution to global political culture.
Somewhere between the namby-pamby bow-tied Western punditry, and blazing carbines, there has to be an outlet for speech with [...]

The scam is now officially unraveling: Man-made global warming is a crock of shaving cream.
The evidence is now cascading down from the rooftops (for a good summary, read David Deming from today) that “global warming” has gone the way of nuclear winter.
There are a lot of good rationales and strategies for conserving energy, but taxing [...]

I’d like to say we were painting it silver and blue, but sadly, alas, many of those present were not Cowboys fans. This is the burden I bear. So let’s just say we were painting it purple and gold in honor of the respective beverages being implemented.

L to R: No Relation, G. Stone, Joe Budzinski, [...]

I have not weighed in on this apparent raging controversy over whether Barack Obama is eligible to be U.S. president, since he has not been able to produce a birth certificate, because right now I have bigger fish to fry. Like the fish which is my life. And I just have not seen any reason [...]

…and it looks like I’m buying.
Damn it all anyway.
Well, it was a very good contest, and the Steelers’ defense was all it has been cracked up to be, but jeez someone must have put something in Witten’s and Romo’s water: Those guys just were not on the same page for some very significant moments in [...]

This was pretty controversial in 2003, within a couple years I think it will be the new consensus opinion:

Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he [...]

This, my friends, demonstrates why the work of professional academics is so essential to understanding the world we live in.

Middle-aged men want younger women, often touting their intelligence and their high income. This is shown in research at Gothenburg University and Oxford University that studied 400 lonely hearts ads to see how men and women [...]

…just like the rotation of the Earth could play a role in tomorrow’s sunrise.
This came up in the lively thread at Too Conservative and also at Operative Word (well worth reading them both): Ya think anyone might be gearing up to use today’s vote as a campaign issue?
I’m gonna say … probably.
Check that: What I [...]

It’s looking very good for Saxby Chambliss to become the 41st Republican senator in the upcoming session.
Click here to follow the results at the AJC blog. Just keep hitting F5.
He’s running much stronger than he did in the general election.
If Chambliss does win in a landslide, let me be the first to say: Thanks, Sarah.
UPDATE: [...]

Some of our readers have gotten their wish: Five members of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors told the Washington Redskins to f— off, and are instead sending the marketing dollars for “hospitality training” to support the Journey Through Hallowed Grounds.
I’m sure that is going to pay off in spades, because all sorts of people [...]

Firearm quick hits:
Not too shabby. Go over to Classic Arms right now and you’ll see that freedom is alive and well in America.
Of particular note, in my view, are the AR-15s for $719.95 - I got to shoot ACTivist’s (which he purchased for a tad better price about two months ago, but that’s life in [...]

Another quick-hit potential conversation starter:
If President Obama overreaches, we should pummel him for it and march on Washington if necessary. But he is our QB now, so as Americans we must allow him to begin his presidency with assurance that we have his back.
Prior to the 2008 elections, progressives projected onto Barack Obama their hopes [...]

Jeez Louise, fresh content is going to be a serious struggle here for the next few weeks because I have a real-world project taking up all my time.

In the greater Washington DC metropolitan area there is no more potent brand name than the Washington Redskins. But it goes further than that. For decades in our nation’s history, through the Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations - before most of the Baby Boomers had entered kindergarten - the Redskins were the preeminent “local” [...]
