“Political ad TV party: Obama loves ‘2 Broke Girls.’ Romney? ‘Andy Griffith.'”

Well, Obama does keep saying Romney wants to take us back to the 50s. Of course, that kind of indictment loses its sting when your own advertising is seemingly aimed at the product of your first four years — and further serves as a kind of metaphor for your entire administration. War on women? Pshaw. I mean, they may be broke, but I suspect they’re getting plenty of dick thanks

DENY! DENY! DENY! [Darleen Click]

Ladies and gentlemen, The Obama Administration: For much of the past four years, the Obama administration’s propensity for asserting views of reality wildly at odds with those evident to most rational citizens has looked increasingly like a page from that film script. All administrations conceal, falsify and tell lies—this is understood—but there’s no missing the distinctive quality of the prevaricating issuing from the White House in these four years. It’s

Groupings are getting tighter.  I used the same swivel bipod set-up for the SCAR-17 @ 100 yards, using 145 gr. .308.  On some of the attempts I was unable to see the exact target @ 6x illumination, which is the highest magnification on my scope.  Generally on a head-sized target you aren’t worried much about anything but hitting the head, but at 100 yards I’d like to be able to

One Term to Serve: Home to Roost [McGehee]

Scene: The Oval Office. Barack Obama, TOTUS and Carney are present. Barack: “So what should I say if Schieffer brings up this thing about talks with Iran?” TOTUS: “Don’t say anything. Just let the Secret Service snipers take care of it.” Carney: (to TOTUS) “Are you out of your mind?” (to Barack) “You just say the report was inaccurate, and then you accuse Romney of planning to take us into

Odds, ends

1. My football picks this year have been so abysmal that I’m not certain I should continue.  We’ll see.  Apparently, a lot of people are having a tough time.  Which I mention only in passing because why not. 2. How are Romney’s chances in Ohio? Doug Ross takes a closer look.  I took a look at Doug Ross’s closer look and I hope to Christ Doug Ross is looking well

Apparently, there are quite a few steps involved.  Who knew? (thanks to palaeomerus)

“Whistle-blower audio: Sen. Claire McCaskill’s husband cut business deals in Senate Dining Room”

My. How dubious the ethics.  How “Clairogant,” the presumptuousness: Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill’s husband used the U.S. Senate Dining Room to cut business deals selling tax credits tied to stimulus money, a whistle-blowing executive inside his company alleged on an audio recording exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller. “The thing that irritated me about this was he [McCaskill’s husband Joseph Shepard] entertained these outside investors in the Senate Dining Room,”

Most transparent administration ever stonewalls chairman of the House Armed Services Committee

Washington Free Beacon: The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee is demanding answers from four senior United States military officers about whether there was advance warning of terrorist threats and the need for greater security prior to last month’s terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. However, an aide to the chairman, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, (R., Calif.), said the office of secretary of defense Leon Panetta blocked

BE THERE! [McGehee]

Good morning. It’s a Saturday in October and you know what that means: the Halloween candy aisle at your local supermarket is mobbed. It also means it’s time for college football. I don’t mean to step on Darleen’s open thread thing, I just want to announce that there’s a game on this afternoon/evening (depending on your local time zone) that most PWers might be interested in. It seems that Middle

Feel like I’m really getting good with the SCAR-17.  Today I tried several drills.  With the hostage drill, I first tried grouping shots in the eyes and forehead, saving one last shot for an attempt at the mouth.
