My Second Day at the Gun Range

Getting to be a better shot.
This time using a smaller target I nailed the number 9 and the 10 clean right out of dead center!

Terrorist Street Art: Martyred Psychotic Killer Edition

There is rarely a day that one can walk through Williamsburg and not be confronted with something obscene. This pleasant image caught my eye this morning.

How nice! A severed head from a suicide bomber who has just earned a halo.

Strange fascination the left has with glorifying terrorists and murderers.
This thing is big and loud. It screams on the wall.
The hearts? Well, that's anyone's guess.

In person, it's much, much worse.

'Refudiate' Named Word of the Year by Oxford University Press

I noticed that the Oxford University Press building on Madison Avenue has a window display for their Word of the Year announcement. How delicious! I had to take a few shots.
Being a word lover I adore 'refudiate'. The good folks at the press chose wisely and showed that they are freely engaged in the world of ideas and ignoring politically correct restraints. Especially in the context of Sarah Palin's famous tweet about the Ground Zero Mosque.
Well played, OUP!

One word. Free of charge.

Publicity for Oxford University Press for crowning Sarah Palin's 'refudiate' Word of the Year. In the near incalculable multiple millions.

Liberal heads exploding across the globe. Priceless.

I was lucky to be able to come out to the New York City 2010 Veterans Day Parade. Today I only had about an hour to take some photos and thank our vets. It's my favorite parade!

My First Day at the Gun Range

I finally went to the West Side Rifle & Pistol Range this past weekend. I had been meaning to do this for a long time. SO glad I went! The instructor was great! Everyone was very friendly. I learned a lot about safety and shooting, at least about handling .22 caliber rifles, and I can't wait to go back.

My first target. Not bad!
