Are you doing it wrong?

As I told some of the eco-fools at a former employer, you may not know what you think you know about conserving energy. I'm all for efficiency, and conserving anything that I pay for, such as energy, is great as long as it doesn't adversely impact my life. (Example--you'll save a lot of money if you turn your thermostat down to 60 in the winter, but it's going to be darn cold in that house.)

However, as one person at the current employer has noted, it's perfectly possible to "save your way into mediocrity."

Not that eco-fools would believe that.

Interesting

A federal judge has dismissed a firearms industry association's lawsuit seeking to block the Obama administration from requiring gun store owners in Southwest border states to report when customers buy multiple high-powered rifles.

The judge, Rosemary M. Collyer, is a Bush (the younger) appointee. Tell me again how Republicans are so-o-o much better than Democrats on the whole freedom thing....

Anyone remember the Canton copy who habitually abused the public?

You know, Daniel Harless. The one who repeated threatened to murder a CCW licensee? Yeah, that's the one.

The assclown has been fired from Canton, OH PD.

However, he does plan to appeal on the account of his PTSD, which he claims came from someone trying to bite off his finger.

Poor baby. Why he hasn't been arrested still evades me. If I had threatened to pump 10 rounds into him, I have no doubt that I would still be in jail.

I love a happy ending

Another bad guy has a catastrophic failure in the victim selection process.

What! The IRS lied!?!

The Taxpayer Advocate Service, an oversight arm of the IRS, wrote in its annual report to Congress that a series of IRS voluntary disclosure programs allowing wealthy Americans to come forward and disclose their hidden accounts in exchange for reduced penalties had caused some taxpayers to pay more than they had been led to believe was required. Such taxpayers are typically those who have inherited accounts or work overseas.

"The IRS's offshore voluntary disclosure program bait and switch may undermine trust for the IRS and future compliance programs," Nina Olson, the national taxpayer advocate who heads the service, wrote in the report.

I'm sorry...I was going to show you my shocked face, but I guess it's at the cleaners.

Makes you wonder about that Big Brown Truck of Happiness

A UPS worker uses their database to target homes for home invasions.

A 1911 in .357 Magnum?

Oh hell yes!
