But even historic and heirloom firearms were destroyed as part of the UK’s failed attempt to heal human …
This memorial at Crewe, England, is typical of memorials that served as cenotaphs for fallen soldiers whose names were not repatriated — like Drummer Hodge. We’ve been planning to write something about President-elect Trump’s selections for national security posts and how they compare to the incumbents and recently departed individuals who warmed those chairs during …
One last splash of empty-headed celebrity worship, then eternal silence from this failed human being. That would be a good thing. On second thought, use pills. We’re sure you have plenty.

He has a 20-round stripper clip that he thinks it’s for one of these: And there’s some discussion of this pistol in the thread at Forgotten Weapons. But the folks in the comments there, as well as Ian himself, seem to …
It’s all OTR’s fault. Last time he was here, he cut us to the quick: This place looks like a hoarder house. It stings because, well, it’s kind of true. It didn’t help when he grabbed up an armload of stuff and announced: I’ll throw this crap away! Only to induce what we barely had …
The answer has always been there, throughout history: top-down, central management-by-bureaucrat of an economy fails. Always it ends in a crater. The bigger the nation (think France under the Bourbons, or the Soviet Union), the bigger the crater when from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, as interpreted by bureaucrats, comes home.
