Bad tidings AKA What the hell have you people done?

First of all... ARE YOU FRELLING KIDDING ME?

February 26, 2009
Beijing, China -- Sources at the United States Embassy in Beijing China have just CONFIRMED to me that the United States of America has tendered to China a written agreement which grants to the People's Republic of China, an option to exercise Eminent Domain within the USA, as collateral for China's continued purchase of US Treasury Notes and existing US Currency reserves!

Read more fun news here and here

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

It would seem that our elected officials and their appointees have a devised way out of the oath they took. "to the best of my ability" a 10 year old could do a better job of not selling this country. What the hell have you people done?

Ammo prices

$220 for 1K rounds of 9mm isn't highway robbery but it sure does suck when it's all twice as much to buy as 1 year ago.

But then again 9mm is a lot cheaper than .45ACP.

Methinks I'll start shooting 22s more.

Range report

Dang I need to take some pictures.

in an hour we burned through
75 12Ga
200 45ACP
~300 22lr.

Conclusions reached:

Road flares do not ignite when shot.
45 ACP will not penetrate 1/4" mild steel (but will dent it and make a satisfying clang)
Shooting aerosol cans is uneventful
Shooting stuff is fun

People annoy me

I have a few music related items for sale on Craigslist.

Should I even respond to the people that are offering 150 for something I'm asking 275 for? The thing retails in used condition for $350 at a store. I counter offered $200 (just so I can pay down my new toy debt, and get some free space back). The schmuck got offended.

The same guy, who 4 weeks prior was trying to sell the same item for $375.

What the hell is wrong with people?
When I buy on C/L I find something I like at a price I like, offer 10% less than they ask and pay cash. No fuss no muss.
