Glock, the man…

Even if you’re not a gun nut,  you’ll enjoy  this review of a book  about Gaston Glock,  inventor of the superb handgun by the same name.

Wiki dark…

I seldom use Wikipedia,  but Jonah   Goldberg is correct  that youngsters do.  They apparently believe it’s an actual reference source to be relied upon.    If you use Google today,  you’ll see a black bar in honor of Wiki’s protest,  which has been  joined by other sites.

That said,  the SOPA legislation is awful and should have a stake driven through its big brother heart.   This will explain  why you need to be calling your Congress critters to add  your voice to  other protests.

UPDATE:  The Heritage Foundation has a full explanation  of the problems here.

Ruined by rats…

The scene of one  of my favorite childhood books is about to be bombed with poison to get rid of the rats overrunning it.   My island of Montecristo is ruined!  Wouldn’t it have made more sense to set about a dozen cats loose?
