That chaos would prevent damn near anyone from being able to effectively make a shot to stop the bad guy, and given how so many people are gung-ho about their firearms, it might well lead to more casualties as innocent people could get accidentally shot. Werf. I don't suppose it would be easy to di...

I”m watching MSNBC and the narrative is already playing out as “radical Islamic ideology” instead of why the fuck can people own military grade weapons.

Taking bets on whether & when the FC(n) or ideological compadres will 1st mention this morning's massacre of about 20 people at a gay bar by a person said to be Afghani-American & (radical) Muslim.

You bunch of Trump lovers.

My favorite version of English is the Ohio Valley Dialect, which is marked by the use of the past tense for the gerund form of verbs, as in "car needs washed" (instead of "car needs washing"). I look forward to the day when the Steersman Dialect is up there next to the Ohio Valley Dialect, marked b...

Our old friend 78 cents on the dollar shows up, but I really liked number 5 -- poor women have to pay higher lifetime health costs in large part due to living longer. Yes, they found a way to make more life be a downside.

I decided to have a look at what the Pitters were saying about the new blogs, but all they are talking about is violating people with corn cobs. No wonder Trump is on his way to the White House.

I vomit when I remember folks that thought they were "above" monogamy dabbling in polyamory. Maybe 1% can deal with it. 99% don't. It's ugly town. New age bullshit.

I thought recoil would be greater the longer the barrel. Generally a longer barrel equals greater weight. The greater weight keeps the weapon from rising as much. Less perceived recoil as well. The longer barrel gives more time/space for propellant to burn off and moves the *poof* of combustion gas...

Heh. While Googling for an eloquent way to phrase my position that some attempts at satire are neither good satire nor good cinema, I found an odd happenstance.

They do? <anecdotal mode> I see gay guys with rat dogs faaaaarrrrr more than with cats. Although that is primarily from public observation where w...

I can't find any reference to Coyne's wife, so I wonder if it was another writer there that I mistook for Coyne. I just have to say that I really don't know about Coyne, marriage, orientation, now, even though I thought I did. And that is why I like the Slymepit. Someone makes a statement, and is t...

Are folks really that bad at math?
