Sophie the Lolcat

Bonnie of Squeaky Wheel Seeks Grease fame is the newly-minted Memphis Pets Examiner, and she's doing a great job. Her articles are thoughtful and well written, and are full of good information.

The most recent article is on the subject of declawing cats. Contained within the article is a picture of one of Bonnie's kitties, Sophie. Given the cat's apparent expression and the accompanying funny caption, I was struck with an inspiration.

Monster Hunter International

Here's the first few chapters online for free. Read them.

Then go buy the book, because I want the MHI:2 to get picked up so I can read it.

Here's a good explanation why.

If you're a Tolkien fan, and have any sense of humor at all, the elf bit will leave you in stitches.

I refuse, however, to "tweet." This is an excellent explanation of why.

Highway hijinks

To the driver of the white Corvette on I-55 this morning:

You are clearly intimidated by the power of your own vehicle. I know this because you took the turn onto the ramp at the breakneck speed of 1 mile per hour, and allowed the car to accelerate itself by going downhill, thereby causing those of us behind you to stack up and wish fervently for your demise.

I can help you. Allow me to suggest that you leave the keys to the Corvette with your wife, since she clearly has your balls in her purse already.

When you are driving a Corvette, and you're getting dirty looks from the guy passing you in a Corolla, you should seriously revisit your automotive purchasing decision.

Got a mouse-gun dilemma?


I came across this ad in this month's American Rifleman. Gee, to what could they be referring?

The man's hypocrisy knows no bounds

I just don't even have the words to describe the depth of the hypocrisy of Barack Obama. The man's actions speak for themselves.

Less than three months after signing the largest spending bill in United States history, the man has the audacity to speak about wasteful spending, as if he has no responsibility for it? I would very much like to vomit right now.

Update on Mississippi carry-permit bills

HB311, which reduced the permit issuance period from 120 to 45 days and allows for renewal by mail (every other renewal beginning with the first), passed both houses and was signed by the governor. It takes effect on July 1. Win.

SB2306, which removed the restriction on carry in public parks, was amended into HB311 by the Senate, but the House refused to concur. The public parks language was stripped out of HB311 in conference. So, there will still be no carrying in parks in Mississippi in the near future. Bummer.
