Obama goes shooting all the time
The Dissident Frogman is at it again. Here’s his video take on the Obama shooting a shotgun picture. (You may have forgotten, but the Dissident Frogman was the guy that made the classic war correspondent’s guide to bullets a few years back.)

According to my WordPress dashboard, this is the 1000th post here at Ratlands since I moved to WordPress, so, I wanted it to be something memorable. Here is a post by LawDog that reminds those who need reminding that Gun Free ≠ Violence Free. Go read the post. Watch the video. When folks tell me [...]

Actually working for a living again has done a number on me. Part of it is that my new boss and I have been out and about setting up equipment and retrieving equipment. I’ve spent more time outdoors during the heat of the day in the last 72 hours than I have the entire rest [...]

Three posts I’ve been meaning to write about from guys who are more eloquent and coherent than I am: The ultimate “you didn’t build that” commentary from Iowahawk: Readings from the Book of Barack Borepatch has an explanation of why the “you didn’t build that” comment was not a “taken out of context” moment and [...]
