2008 Year In Review

2008 was an interesting, fun, and in some ways, idiotic year. So let’s recap.
 
WORLD NEWS
 
As usual, most of the world sucked and was run by morons. In 2008, Angry Muslim Terrorists blew stuff up, and we blew up Angry Muslim Terrorists, while people who should know better whined about violence and George Bush. Having finally [...]

THE CHRISTMAS NOUN

I’ve noticed a trend. Richard Paul Evans wrote The Christmas Box and The Christmas Letters.  Then there was the Christmas Jars by Jason Wright. Now we’ve got the Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck. Notice anything?  All best-selling novels.  All written by Mormons!
 
So as a novelist and a Mormon, I too am entitled to write a [...]

Eat Sushi or DIE

I’ve never promoted a restaurant before, but I totally have to talk up Sushi Ya.
 
Okay, now when somebody tells you that you’re going out to dinner after the Glenn Beck Christmas show to all-you-can-eat sushi, you don’t imagine it is going to be very good.  All you can eat sushi usually sucks.
 
Plus this was [...]

HOLY FREAKING CRAP! MHI German copy for $842.99!

http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1226644597&searchurl=kn%3Dmonster%2Bhunter%2Binternational%26sortby%3D1%26x%3D0%26y%3D0
Just… Wow.
$842.99. 
I’m betting that this one is a trap. It’s in Germany, so I’m guessing that it is being held hostage by H und K marketing staffers. They’re just waiting for me to show up so they can sacrifce me to their ineffectual Teutonic Gods.
Man, I can’t wrap my brain around that price.

I don’t know who made this, but they’re brilliant…

Don Gwinn on Illinois Gov. arrest

An Illinois resident’s take on their recent problems, from the Armed School Teacher: http://thearmedschoolteacher.blogspot.com/2008/12/blagojevich-i-im-sorry-i-cant-pretend.html
“But all the jubilation misses a sobering point: Rod Blagojevich is the Governor we deserved. We elected this guy. Twice. He wrecked us, he despised us, he choked our economy to death and humped the cold, lifeless corpse while he laughed at [...]

Fisking the University of Utah editorial page about guns… again.

I found this posted on www.wethearmed.com yesterday, and because it is from a local University paper, I couldn’t resist a good fisking.  Italics are from the original article. I’m not sure if this was a staff editorial, or just somebody who wrote in. If the former, that was pathetic, save your parent’s money and drop [...]

Cleared 300,000 hits.

I’ve had this blog for just over a year now, and we’ve cleared 300,000 hits.  That seems pretty good as far as I know.  Approximately half of those hits are from people who dislike me because I’m a gun guy, or because I dislike HK.  The other half came because I’m the #1 Google search [...]

Gordon Hutchinson is the guy that wrote The Great New Orleans Gun Grab. Check it out. This should be good stuff.

I’m a famous bigot on the internets

My favorite part is how “FBMG are a bunch of mormon racist ****ing assholes. **** them. I hope Obama sends them to the welfare line.”
Groovy. I wasn’t aware of my racist tendancies. My immediate family that checks the “Other” box on all of our government forms is going to be surprised by this development.  Only 1/3 [...]
