Stripper Scanners at Airports.

I recently flew from Denver to Lynchburg and was chosen by TSA to experience the naked person scanner.  Out of curiosity I went ahead and went into the machine. They had me take everything out of my pockets and hold it in my hands over my head.  Then they yelled at me because my feet weren't in the little feet pictures on the floor.. The machine swirled around me and they told me to step out and stand on some more stupid looking feet things on the floor.  They then stared out into space, not a word to me about what was going on, and then asked if I had something in my pocket.  I checked and did not.  He said there was a piece of paper in there...why would a piece of paper be a concern anyway...I thought they were looking for guns and explosives!  So then he felt me up in my groin and on my leg.  After he was satisfied there was nothing in my pocket, duh, he let me go.  What a waste of the taxpayers money.

I heard that the guy who sells this salted gold mine of a security device used to run some government agency and has friends in high places.  Good work if you can get it, i.e. selling unnecessary and nonworking very expensive machines that annoy the flying public!

My wife doesn't want to fly anywhere that uses the machine so we will definitely be reducing our flying by at least 1/2.  I'm not sure I want to go through that again myself.

Everyone should write their congressperson and senators to get rid of this crap!

People of Murray Street now raise their ugly head.

Just got a letter from the people of Murray Street...guess they moved from Roanoke Street. The letter said I should trim my bushes, That seems a bit personal, my bushes and the amount they are trimmed is best left to me. Also that I should clean up the mess. We recently put the house on the market so the mess was pretty much tidied up. One one have to assume that the person or creature writing these missives must be a clean and tidy freak of some sort, beyond the obvious matter that they are frigging' crazy! I was starting to take these personal but after showing the letter to some of my neighbors, they allowed as to the fact they had received some as well. So I guess psycho letter writer has several targets. So just to be clear, we won't be making any changes to our bush trimming.

Butt headed people who make everything political!

Both sides do it. Conservatives and liberals like to jump to conclusions that they think makes some stupid point of their political agenda.  Today lots of crass liberals are basically saying that Sarah Palin killed the congresswoman in Arizona because there's a web site with the congresswoman's head in gun sites.  These are the same liberals who laughed at this: Or this: These are ok but Palin's cause deaths!  Somehow they missed the report that the shooter's my space page states that he was a big fan of the communist manifesto which would align him more with Obama than Palin.

Gun haters with non-logical arguments

So one of my friends went off today on the Virginia law to allow concealed weapons permit holders to go to a restaurant that serves alcohol with their weapon as long as they don't drink. He smirked as he comment that people only go to bars to drink...therefore it's a stupid law. Right now in Virginia people can open carry in a bar and drink...that seems stupider. He just doesn't get that there are lots of people carrying guns in bars right now, most of them bad and he has no idea that they are carrying guns. The main reason this is a good idea is that people, myself included, sometimes want to have lunch or dinner in a place that serves alcohol and not have a drink, but not give up our right to protect ourselves. Some may say that that is what the police are for. Well, I'm not sure who said it, but, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away! We would also rather not leave our firearms in our vehicles while we eat as they could be stolen. The second amendment...
