Do not insult the wolves so.

Well... let's see what I wrote again:

So, what you guys want is a light, short, portable variable-warhead weapon that is effective against personnel and structure, can hard-kill a modern battle tank and has no recoil OR back blast? I am sure the brass also wants it to be inexpensive, has interminable storage life, requires no...

Uh, no. You are confusing two different things. Previous executive branch figures who testified for Congress did so for matters that are related to (IL)LEGAL and (UN)ETHICAL issues. They did NOT testify regarding advice they gave/received on POLICY issues. And the kind of questions that Dr...

If "realistic gunplay" is what you want, the best film is probably "The Way of the Gun" with Ryan Phillippe, Benicio del Toro, James Caan and Juliette Lewis. Of course, the unrealistic thing about that particular movies is that the two protagonists (of sorts) who are just thugs move like Navy...

Although Jean Reno has become a "French" actor, his birthname was Juan Moreno. He was born to Spanish (Spaniard, not Hispanic) parents in what was Spanish Morocco. I was somewhat angry that the American-cut of the film ("The Professional" in the US) was shorter by 30 minutes than the...

What is the crime rate -- both violent and perperty -- in Austin? How does it compare to the national average? Is crime fairly evenly spread across the city OR is it highly variable based on neighborhoods? Subjectively, is it a "safe-feeling" city in general?

What does that make you guys, "Mini-Acolytes"? We started with Capt. Yee and the next thing you know, it turns into a conversation about E-M theory and OODA loop! :)

In Wen Ho Lee's case, there is only circumstantial evidence that his prosecution had anything to do with his ethnic-national origin. My suspicion is that the truth lies somewhere between what the government and Lee respectively claimed. In other words, Lee probably had some poor...

That'd be an intriguing possibility. Richardson is considered centrist, has some foreign policy experience and is a governor of a southwestern state. He is also "Hispanic" to boot. Bush/Rice vs. Kerry/Richardson would be an interesting match...

However, if the the evidences were that secretive to begin with, one wonders why the government made the substantially more grave charges in the first place, fully knowing beforehand that much of the evidences would have to be kept from the proceedings. Things will clear up some more when the...

I wish! And the beautiful thing about that is... we get a good shot at 2008 as well! Any way you cut it, Condi is an inspiring choice. Just for the sheer value of sticking it to the race-baiting Democrats, I'd love to see it.

How does the P-01 compare dimensionally to, say, the Glock 19, particularly in the crucial (for IWB carry) area of thickness (slide & frame) as well as grip length?

Wonder what happened there... From AP: Charges Dropped Against Muslim Chaplain MIAMI - All charges have been dropped against the Army Muslim chaplain accused of mishandling classified documents at Guantanamo Bay, which houses suspected terrorists, the Army said Friday. Capt...

Just say "Your Kung Fu is weak. My Kung Fu is more powerful than your Kung Fu." With martial arts flicks being a big part of pop culture in Japan, he will get it. I must now sheepishly admit that I love guns AND I practice Yoga. Of course, I practice Ashtanga Yoga (sometimes known as...
