Yay! I’m always reloading opinionjournal.com in the late afternoon waiting for Best of the Web to appear (as I’ve been doing even before I started my own blog), and I find today myself cited (look for ‘9/11’ Is No. 2) among their other useful wisdom of the day! Hooray! (it’s my second time to be cited by them, actually). I had thought my scoop on claims of Michael Moore’s film not actually breaking any records was worth e-mailing other blogs about (none of whom posted it) but I hadn’t even thought of trying Best of the Web. You know my last correspondence to them.
One of those I e-mailed who gave no response (that’s right; actually ignored an e-mail from me!) was Glenn Reynolds, who for the record, said that he thinks Michael Moore is the greatest person ever and would love to share a puppy shake with him… or something to that effect.
Plus, is Glenn now going to kill Mike Tyson?
Kim du Toit has a great post on accuracy in shooting, which leads to the question: How should I approach shooting at the shooting range if my goals are good self-defense shooting and icing my rival drug dealers? (hat tip to Barking Moonbat… though I really should be reading du Toit on my own).
This cartoonist seems to be implying that Rumsfeld is Chomps. Shades of Fight Club?
Finally, Laurence Simon thinks more rally bombings are needed. Sounds like a start, though I still want my S.M.I.T.E.
Frank, You’re best of the web every day!!
Just trying to kiss up and be first at the same time. 🙂
Congrats on the Best of the Web mention!! Now keep an eye out for those durn homonyms (c:
What gives? I’ve got the orangest blog on the web, and you didn’t link to me? IMAO is the first blog I ever read, and the first one on my site’s blogroll. While I usually think you’re pretty cool, not linking to Farewell Peace is about as uncool as Bill Clinton’s boobies.
Frank J.: I don’tmean to sound like a smart-aleck, but you can subscribe to Best of the Web, and they will send it directly to you every day. I have, and it is so much easier than going there over and over. It would save you so much time, you could probably check out some other new blogs, like mine for instance.
I am subscribed (to it and their Political Diary) but it appears on the web before I get it e-mailed.
I linked to you & that entry and you didn’t even have to ask…
Frank, if you want to get good enough at shooting the answer is simple, you can save a lot of time by going to one of the many good schools or you can practice.
The Church of the Pistolero is founded on the rock of the front sight. The Holy Tinity is grip, trigger control and sight picture.
There are lesser saints, stance, breathing and so on but those are not quite as important.
All it takes to get a hit is to squeeze the trigger while the sights are aligned on the target. Of course that’s just like saying that all it takes to be a concert pianist is hitting the right note at the right time.
Next time there’s a gun show near you, see if you can find a copy of Massad Ayoob’s ‘Stressfire’. We used it, and the techniques in it, on my Department’s training.
