The 2021 Academy Awards weren't exactly a big hit with audiences. In fact, they recorded their lowest ratings in the show's history. This is my response to Hollywood.

Star and estranged wife continue to squabble over how much money De Niro should have to pay her until 2004 prenup kicks in

Ecologist Jeremy Fox at the University of Calgary offers a list of scientific frauds, with Piltdown Man at the top of the list. Writing at his blog Dynamic Ecology, he remarks, “Gonna be hard to top this one, I think.” Is it? From, “What’s the ‘greatest’ scientific fraud of all time?”

Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin Guzman “El Chapo” Loera may be going on trial tomorrow in Brooklyn federal court, but the billion dollar cartel he founded is still flourishing under the direction of his two favorite sons. “… The defendant’s sons remain in charge of his vast drug trafficking empire,” reads a recent letter from the US Attorneys preparing to try Guzman’s case.

I just finished the last Longmire episode. It ended cleverly. I thought it was a decent series ruined by stupid things. For example they talk about guns being registered.... In Wyoming! Then there's the town mayor threatening to fire the County Sheriff. Lol! There was a bunch of other dumb stuff of that sort like the lawsuit against the Sheriff with an adversarial judge. The case would have easily been tossed on appeal. Not to mention that all the jurors personally knew the Sheriff. I found it hard to believe that accusing a Sheriff of being bloodthirsty because he was...

Well, I think it's just great that today the NYT and CNN and the WashCompost and all these other liberal commentators are so solicitous to conservatives! Look how they are unanimously warning us that it would be disastrous to run Trump. But never fear they assure us that we will win if we run Kasich. Or Cruz! But not Trump of course. Oh no. We would lose! They want us to win! Lol!

I'm sick of talking about politics today. I was wondering if anyone has been watching House of Cards and noticed that it looks like the show is jumping the shark. The original Brit version was only 12 one hour episodes and was nice and succinct. The new one is 4 seasons of 13 episodes now. I was hoping they would end it this season but apparently the show has fallen into the "milk it for all it's worth" mode. From the blurb on the last episode it's obvious that they are going to do yet another season. Well, this year...

Three armed men in masks forced their way into a Los Angeles home owned by Chris Brown, locked the R&B singer's aunt in a closet and then ransacked the place for valuables, police said.

After years of being a sucker and buying magazines off of the tables at gun shows, I'm done. I'm looking at my mags and I have about a dozen gun show mags and only maybe two or three are reliable and quiet. Most jam or don't activate the slide stop when empty or just plain rattle when loaded. I've spent an average of $15 each. For the same $ I could have bought 6 factory mags and have 6 good mags instead of 2 or 3. As an experiment I loaded a factory 7rd Ruger .45 mag with 7 rds...

I've been scanning old slides and thought some freepers might find a few interesting. #1 WWII era wooden gunboat we used. Twin 6-71 diesel engines.(Thank God. At least the Navy had the sense to stay away from gasoline power.) 18 Knot max speed. Unless it had a forward-throw mortar and then maybe it had a 14knot top speed. The mortar wasn't worth the trouble. One twin .50 mount armament, plus an M-79 (my favorite) and some M-16s and a shotgun. Nothing but the best for our boys! The .50s aren't installed because this particular shot was taken after a refit....

Huntsman's a jerk, but any attack on MItt is welcome. Maybe they'll chew each other up.

I Don't often post vanities. However it's been almost a couple of years since BushII left the White House and I think it's time for me to give the devil his due. I never cared much for BushII. Like his Dad he was a big social spender. One of his first acts was to double the funding for the Dept of Education, for example. I thought that going into the Middle East with ground troops to be a boneheaded move, mainly from a historical perspective in that every foreign occupier in that area got savaged endlessly. On the plus he...

Several years ago, Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty transmission business. They were getting ready to tape a first introduction video, and as a warm up, the professional narrator began what has become a legend within the trucking industry. This man should have won an academy award for his stellar performance. Now remember this is strictly off the cuff, nothing is written down, this became the biggest talk in the industry, vs the new product which they were introducing.

La Verkin amends U.N. law Watered-down measure not much better, critics say By Nancy Perkins Deseret News correspondent LA VERKIN, Washington County — "What's next? That's the scary part," LaVerkin resident Ann Blackburn said after the City Council amended its anti-U.N. ordinance Wednesday. "I am tired of people putting their opinion out as if all of us in this community feel that way," Blackburn said. Once again in a 3-2 vote, council members approved an anti-U.N. ordinance, this one a neutered version of its predecessor. The amended ordinance is stripped of much of the language Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff ...
