Wife and I have gotten drawn into watching ABC's "The Nine". Comes on Wednesday after "Groundhog Day", er, uh, I mean "Daybreak". Premise is a group of strangers become hostages in a bank robbery/hostage standoff dealing in the aftermath. Lots of flashback sequences to the standoff. Two...

Mayor Bloomberg was recently touting how wonderfully safe the Big Apple is with all it's restrictive gun laws. However, things ain't exactly paradise. Methinks I've spotted a bit of trouble that most of us probably already suspected. NYC is divided into 5 Boroughs: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan...

I got called for Jury Duty in July, but timing was bad for the project I'm working on. Boss asked me to reschedule for September, and King County (Seattle, Washington) will automatically reschedule (at least once) within a year of being called. Just pick a week. I said the week of 9/11. My own...

One of the most potent references on the Second Amendment is, IMHO, The Second Amendment Primer. It was written by an attorney, Les Adams, commissioned by the NRA, and published by Palladium Press. It has perhaps the best bibliography I've seen to date on the subject, the index is quite good...

The thread about a Beslan scenario here in the U.S. got me thinking. Beslan was very extreme--one hopes so extreme that it would NEVER happen here. However, an awful lot of carnage could be inflicted by a group of even modestly trained and skilled terrorists--of any skin color, ethnic background...

I recently rented The Life of David Gale from Netflix. Everything with Kevin Spacey I've seen to date is great, and this one was no exception. One caveat. Watching the extra material on the DVD, I think Director Alan Parker was VERY disingenuous when he tried to sell the movie as taking a...
