I Have the Best Daughter
We have a Christmas tradition – she always gives me a Dilbert desk calendar for Christmas. This year was no exception on that point, but she also gave me this T-shirt:
I’ll have to wear it to the next Central Arizona blog shoot!
Merry Christmas to All
A repost from a couple of years ago. Seemed appropriate.
Beauty
Christmas turkey No. 2, about 15 lbs. One hour and fifty minutes in a 475°F oven:
That’s a pretty bird, folks.
Christmas turkey No. 1, about 14 lbs. has been delivered to my in-laws. This one goes with us tomorrow to my parents’ house.
Still have quite a bit of cooking left to do today….
Good Marketing
Today in the mail I received two gifts from LuckyGunner.com, plus a nice Christmas card with a handwritten note from Anthony Welch. One gift was this coffee mug:
The other was a gift card.
Wow. The last thing I did with/for Lucky Gunner was review some of the Fiocchi primers they sell back in 2010, and I attended the machine gun shoot they sponsored in 2011. They’ve sponsored the last several Gun Blogger Rendezvous, but I haven’t been deeply involved in that until this year.
Whoever they’ve got doing their internet marketing is not slacking.
Thank you, y’all. And merry Christmas to you and yours.

Quote of the Day, from the end of the interview:
Peter Robinson: How’s my generation’s project of holding on to liberty coming along?
Thomas Sowell: Not well. One of the reasons I’m glad to be as old as I am is that it means I may be spared seeing what’s going to happen to this country, either internally or as the result of international complications.Robinson: You think that America’s greatest days are gone? Full stop? That it’s irreversible?
Sowell: Nothing is irreversible. But I think that we’re like a team that is coming to bat in the bottom of the ninth, five runs behind. We can win it, but this is not… I wouldn’t bet the rent money on it.
Robinson: Last question. What would you say – talking about Milton (Friedman) talking to my generation – what would you say to the next generation, to your grandchildren’s generation about the America for which they should be preparing themselves?
Sowell: Since I don’t know what that America is going to be, I don’t want to say anything to them. By the time they get here I think the issue will have been settled one way or the other.
Robinson: By then it will be irreversible.
Sowell: Either we will have pulled out of the dive, as it were, or else it will be all over.
Yes, We on the Right are a Monolithic Group of Racists & Brainwashed Zombies
At least, that’s what the Left keeps telling themselves.
Right Wing News has published its 7th annual Poll of Conservative Websites Most Loved and Hated People on the Right. Check out the results.
Non Sequitur of the Day
Non sequitur – (Latin) a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.
See if you can spot it in the following excerpt from this Modern Farmer article, Salad, Inc.:
After an earthquake and tsunami decimated northeast Japan in 2011 — an unexpected weather incident that scientists are still struggling to understand — the Japanese government built Sanriku Fukko National Park.
Quote of the Day, Tam Edition
The Empress of Snark does it again as only she can:
Meanwhile, we have Michael Tomasky, whose entire career arc has been one long angry atonement for the sin of having to move to Manhattan instead of being born there…
Were there any justice in the world, Tam’s snark would leave scars.
