West Point Cadet, only 5 months from Graduation, quits because West Point has too much Religion.
I smell some serious bullshit here.
Let’s read the Article… West Point is a tough school… people wash out all the time. This kid is just pissed he couldn’t hack it and is making a stink. West Point is a fantastic asset to our Nation, and this snot nosed brat wants to take it down? Not going to happen. Ah, there it is… He was denied a Commission. Mental Health issues? Obviously. So, there is no beef here. He’s quitting because there is too much religion, not that he wasn’t going to become an Officer. Yeah. That’s it.
5 Months away from Graduation too. That shows a drastic lacking in strategic thought. All that money for his education – WASTED. He could have graduated, Commission or not, few men get to put GRADUATED WEST POINT on their resume. Going out like he did – I’m very pleased this person did not get a Commission. He’s shown a very large hole in his character where Honor would be. The Religion thing is just an excuse, and not a very valid one at that. Thank GOD he will not be a Leader.

Tactical Guns In Stock
Bob Costas is an idiot
I wasn’t going to talk about that Sportscaster idiot, Bob Costas. But he said something else that just about lit me on fire.
“Young men can’t own guns without something bad happening.”
Bob, you are a dunderhead and you can shut your manpleaser now. Around here, all the young men own guns. No, I don’t mean some… I mean damn near all the young men around here own guns. Plural… more than one gun. Lots of guns. They buy guns all the time. I live in an area with what is probably the highest concentration of privately owned guns in the entire world. There is little else to do out here in Vernalstan. Your options are Shooting, Off Roading, Drinking, and Fooling around with girls. Or there is usually a combination of those options to some extent, but being a good community with good kids out here, the drinking is very much minimized compared to other places. So that leaves a lot of Guns, Trucks, and Girls. Not a bad mix, in my opinion.
The kids around here are smart, they do things, they make things happen. They work. And they play. I like that a 17 year old kid can come in and talk about Exterior and Terminal Ballistics of a .270 WSM and compare it to a 7mm Remington Magnum and pontificated which is more ideal on Elk verses Mule Deer. And he will have the photos to prove he knows what he’s talking about here. This is their culture. This is our culture. This is who we are here. We have offroad capable vehicles and we have guns. Some are more city oriented with their flat brimmed caps that I don’t understand, but they grew up hunting. Others are cowboys right off the ranch. Even the Video Game Playing Nerds around here have a nice AR-15 and a 9mm Semi Automatic of some sort and love to pop Tannerite when their new game mod is downloading.
Bad things, according to that slackbrained Sportscaster, should be happening all the time. But they don’t. Not around here. The big difference here verses, oh, say, any city with a Democratic Governance, is EDUCATION. Our kids around here know guns. So they are not dangerous with guns. In other places, guns remain a fascination and mystery because they are not taught. Rifle Marksmanship used to be taught in Schools. This is no longer the case. Since Firearms are no longer taught in schools, bad things have happened. The solution is more education, more access to firearms, more training, and more range time for all the kids.
Bob… Go back to talking about guys playing with their balls. Leave our Guns and our Freedom alone.
Twenty Years
My wife and I have been married 20 years as of yesterday. We’ve certainly had our ups and downs. Its not been easy. But it has been worth it. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone else on the planet.

Hordecasting with Spreecast
Check this out guys. Wed Nights, Hump Nights, I’ll be doing a live Spreecast at 8PM MST, or shortly there after.
We tried it out twice today. In the afternoon and at 8pm. Both times the results were very positive. The second time we had 10-12 people, very interactive, and a lot of fun.
I have some plans for this for tomorrow night’s Regularly Scheduled Show.
Cool Photo
I got there a couple minutes too late. I wanted that sunset light on the cabin, but it went just a touch too low and the bike is in shadow instead of lit like I wanted. But that old cabin still looks cool.
This is just off Hwy 121 in Lapoint. If you are on Highway 40 and turn north to connect to 121, hang a Left at Shirley’s and this place will be about a half mile down the highway on the Right. It’s older than it looks.

Skyfall
Skyfall. Best. Bond. Ever. We have important character introductions, breathtaking action, and Bond getting down on an Enduro. I really enjoyed this movie more than any other James Bond I have ever watched. It was well paced, directed, and it just worked.
Also, Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever to have played the role. All other Bonds were cartoons. Daniel Craig makes Bond feel real. Human. He bleeds, he gets scars, he hurts… he gets his ass kicked… and then he Wins because he’s James Bond. The UK’s version of Captain America, but for the UK. Their Hero has Cuff Links and under-powered inaccurate pistols. Which is fine… and I envy England because in the US… we don’t have such a character. Jack Ryan? (Tom Clancy) or XXX? Captain America? No… I want an American Bond. Maybe that’s why I like Daniel Craig… that Bigger Hammer approach gives American’s something in common with Bond.
Either way, Skyfall is the pinnacle of the James Bond Universe.
