Random Nuclear Strikes

Found at The View From North Central Idaho. Joe Huffman recieved this in his email box:

Greetings all,

Gun Owners Alliance

If you have never heard of Neal Knox, you surely have not read one of the best authors, columnists, idea men and fighters for our 2nd Amendment rights.

I was introduced to Mr. Knox’s writings when I was about 12 years old. Every ten dys, his latest column would appear in the arriving Shotgun News. After my Dad was through hunting for stuff in the SGN, I was allowed to go through it.

Let’s just say one thing, I don’t remember hardly any of the other authors or columnists that wrote for SGN, but I remember Mr. Knox.

I got a chance to meet him via my dad in 1988 during a lobbying meeting I was allowed to accompany with my dad. As Joe Huffman said, the guy was sharp as a tack and played a mean chess game. Not everything went the way he planned, but most folks don’t know the half of what Mr. Knox and his counterparts stomped out of the halls of Congress.

If you are the praying kind, please include Mr. Knox in your prayers. If you are not, just keep him in your thoughts and wish him well.

Thank you.

I found this story at the Kos IMC:

[Bush] plans to fulfill his pledge to halve the record $413 billion federal budget deficit by submitting a 2006 budget next month that includes nothing for some programs. He wouldn’t name them.

“We will present a budget that wisely spends the people’s money, that cuts the deficit in half, that will enable me to get up in front of the people and say those programs that aren’t working won’t be getting extra money, and some of the programs won’t be getting any money at all,” he said.

Sounds like a plan to slow down and/or stop the deficit spending to me, and it is about damn time.

Your task is to think of what you would like cut and put it in the comments section.

And I’ve got Bad News.

First, the Bad News:

Our pal, Brent from The Ville, is planning on hanging up his Bloggin Hat this Thursday.

Never one to hold back on the lonney lefite losers, his hand on the throat style of blogging will be missed. But while he won’t be doing any actual blogging, he still be around, lurking in the ether, waiting to strike.

Make sure you stop by The Ville on the Thursday for a 21 Key Salute to a good blog, a good blogger, a good musician and a good family man.

The Good News:

Is that JimK of Right Thoughts fame has started up a new site titled “South Park Conservatives.Com”

From JimK: My intent is to make this a true group community site, where members submit stories and editors (to be named later) pick the ones that end up on the front page. There are forums as well�and it�s PostNuke, so we can add features later to expand the community. I don�t want it to be driven by any one person or personality, but to truly reflect a community, so once it gets rolling I hope to take a back seat and let the site govern itself as much as is possible.

So head on over and, if you’re feeling up to it, sign up.
