So New York and Connecticut are thinking about forcing guns makers to put microstamp firing pins in their guns. And the gun manufacturers that exist in those states are therefore considering leaving those states rather than continue to pay taxes to a bunch of anti-rights thugs.
I'm going to say it again: microstamping is a de facto gun registration system, and that's all it is.

Well, how interesting. In order to keep raisin prices from cratering the government seizes 47% of a small farmer's crop, and then uses that seized property to pay for seizing other peoples' private property.

Gas went up precipitously while I wasn't looking. Sunday, gas in the Fungal Vale was $3.95 a gallon. Tuesday afternoon, it was $4.25 a gallon, which represents a $0.30 increase.
I was all, "Shit!"
...so I rode the motorcycle to Bible study on Tuesday night, since it's obvious that there isn't anyone letting air out of my tires. I don't know what the hell's going on with that thing.

...but I kept forgetting about them, only today I had occasion to check my junk e-mail folder and was reminded of this nonsense. Now that I've posted them here, I've deleted them.
This is progress.
