Parts Is Parts

No decent firearm is worth a darn if it’s dirty, rusty or gummed up. All you can do is beat a criminal to death with it and that takes a while and can be a little messy, if you know what I mean. No, you need to be able to break your piece down, clean it, oil it and re-assemble it - hopefully in good working order. It also helps if you know all the parts and what goes where.

Putting it back together and finding you have one or more parts left over can cause you a lot of grief - not to mention the hoots of laughter from your buddies at the gun club (and here). With that said, you need to know your firearm inside and out. It is a tool like any other and like the good old reliable .45 caliber 1911-A1 below, it has parts - 52 in all.

Today’s drill is to name all 52 parts of this magnificent pistol. If you can name all 52 (and know the function of each), you know your piece. If you can break it down and re-assemble it in the dark in less than two minutes, you may go to the head of the class. For now though, let’s see how many parts you can name. I’ll get you started - part number 1 is called the “barrel”. That’s the part where the projectile leaves the pistol when fired and hopefully is not pointed at your foot in the process.

So go ahead and give yourself a little test. Name the other 51 parts. If you need a little help or just want to check yourself, you can find the complete schematic reference here.

Weekend Eye Candy

Out of respect for all the other great football conferences, I’ve grabbed a bevy of beauties from the Big Ten Conference this week. Twenty-six in all. That’s enough for an offense, a defense and four for the special team. Whew! I’m claiming dibs on a certain redhead from Michigan. You gentlemen may feel free to scout the team for your possible draft picks. Just click the pic of the Indiana team below and play ball. Don’t get too greedy though. The Southeastern Conference is coming up next week.

The Losing Team

There is a very good reason why Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution states the following: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.” The reason is simple - someone has to make the decisions and manage the course of war in our nation’s defense.

The key word there is “someone”. Not some damn committee and not some damn group of bloviating political hacks. And especially not 540 contentious, argumentative jerks from all over the country. The 540 members of the House and Senate are there to LEGISLATE. Get it? That means they pass laws, i.e., “legislate.” That is why they are called the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH of our government.

The President, on the other hand, is charged with the task of EXECUTING the will of the people, including the defense of ALL the people from enemies who intend to do us harm. That is why his office is called the EXECUTIVE BRANCH of our government. That is also why he is given full command and control of the military as Commander In Chief of ALL armed forces.

Why am I telling you something you should already know? Because the new Congress is planning on usurping the powers of the President and are now going to start managing the military, setting timetables and troop strengths. Even worse, they are using the media to do it, revealing to our enemies all of their plans for surrender and withdrawal from the fight.

The question is not whether the war is being mismanaged or even whether we should be fighting to begin with. The fact is we are in a war and if things aren’t going as well as we would expect, the last thing we need to do is turn the whole management of the military over to 540 people who usually take at least six months to finally come to an agreement on anything! Management by committee is a recipe for disaster!

America, how does it feel to finally be on the losing team? There will be no “peace with honor” this time. There will be no negotiated peace settlement with the terrorists in the Middle East. No, all there will be this time is a plain white flag raised above the Capitol ... and the eternal shame of a nation that used to be great ...

Pelosi, Reid Urge Bush To Begin Iraq Pullout
President Considering Three ‘Surge’ Options
(WASHINGTON POST) - Saturday, January 6, 2007

imageimageHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid declared yesterday that “it is time to bring the war to a close” and warned President Bush that sending more U.S. troops to Iraq would be unacceptable to the Democratic majorities that have just taken over Congress.

Directly challenging Bush’s wartime leadership on their second day in charge on Capitol Hill, Democrats Pelosi (Calif.) and Reid (Nev.) sent Bush a letter suggesting that, instead of starting a short-term escalation, he begin a phased withdrawal of U.S. forces in the next four to six months. The mission of remaining troops, they said, should be shifted away from combat toward more training, logistics and counterterrorism.

The newly ascendant Democrats are trying to preempt the president before he announces his new strategy. As he prepares for a nationally televised address next week, officials said, Bush is considering three main options to bolster U.S. forces in Iraq: a relatively modest deployment of fewer than 4,000 additional troops, a middle-ground alternative involving about 9,000 and, the most aggressive idea, flowing 20,000 more troops into the country.

In a speech today unveiling his own revised security plan, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is expected to publicly welcome additional U.S. troops, a condition requested by the Bush administration. Maliki’s cooperation is pivotal to Bush’s own efforts. Bush told Maliki in a videoconference Thursday that the United States is willing to help but that Maliki has to deliver along the way, U.S. officials said.

In preparation for the shift in strategy, Bush reshuffled his national security leadership team yesterday. He replaced the top two generals running the Iraq war, named a new Army chief of staff, moved his intelligence director over to the State Department and put a veteran officer in charge of intelligence. Officials have said he also plans to move his ambassador in Baghdad to the United Nations and replace him with a veteran diplomat.

New Blog Feature

SURPRISE! After a great deal of pondering and research, I have decided to answer the request of a large number of members here with a new feature. I have added a WYSIWIG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to the comments page. The comment entry form will now look like what you see below. This is a full-featured editor with all the goodies you’d see in Word or any other high-end text editor.

Now you can format the text any way your little heart desires. You can insert URL links easily and even link to external pictures if you so desire with just a few clicks of your mouse. You can shout in big, bold, red letters and even add a yellow highlighter if the need arises. You can cut-and-paste and even print your comment if the mood strikes you.

For those of you who are intimidated by all this, never fear. If you just want to enter a comment the old-fashioned way, with no formatting or fancy sutff, all you have to do is type in your comment just like before. Easy as π (3.1415926535897932384626433 ... ∞).

There are a couple of things you need to be aware of though: (1) I haven’t moved all the smileys over into the new editor templates yet so there are only a few rinky-dink ones for now - I’ll add the good ones over the next few days; and (2) you are now required to enter a “captcha” before you click “submit.

What is a “captcha”, you ask? It is a little image with some letters and numbers in it that a human has to translate into keystrokes (example: look at the little image box with squiggly lines and “call93” imposed on top of the lines. The captcha text changes for every new comment entry. I have added this to keep spammers out. With the addition of several new features in the editor it becomes a security problem if weener-butt spammers try to load up the comments with their crap. Captchas keep everyone honest and insures it is a human entering the comment and not some stupid spam-bot.

I have also removed the “Preview” button because there is no need for it anymore. What you type and format is what gets displayed. Simply use this editor exactly the same way you use Word or whatever your favorite editor is. Type, highlight, click, done.

Go ahead and use the new comment editor and let me know what you think. I have tested it with FireFox, Internet Explorer and Opera. It should also work just fine with Macintosh users who use Safari. It is not built with any complicated web junk. The editor is written in simple Javascript and therefore should work for everyone. If you do encounter any problems though, send me an e-mail (allan ‘at’ barking-moonbat.com).

Term Limits

Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) is the poster child for term limits. The former KKK clansman has been in the Senate since the Revolutionary War and in spite of the fact that his brain turned to Silly Putty centuries ago, he just keeps on coming back like a bad rash on Congress’ buttocks. Will this senile old fool never die?

imageimageSen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia was sworn in for the ninth time Thursday, and he did it in signature style.

The West Virginia Democrat, who turns 90 this year and is the longest-serving member of the current Senate, is known for his long speeches, his knowledge of Senate rules and his flamboyant personality.

He first spoke through the opening prayer, calling “Praise Jesus,” and “yeah!”

After he was sworn in by Vice President Cheney, he pumped his fist and yelled, “So help me God!”

Just after that, Byrd appeared weak and started to collapse. He was caught by his West Virginia colleague, Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, and other senators standing nearby.

Byrd didn’t miss a step as he then walked back to his desk, giving a loud “Hallelujah!” to the crowd.

Don’t Mess With Texas: 2007 Kickoff Edition

What better way to kick off the New year than to kick the living shit out of an armed burglar. Our congratulations go out to Prentice McKinney of Dallas, Texas who, although he should have had better sense than to take on an armed intruder with nothing but his bare hands, gets the award this week for Outstanding Citizen’s Arrest.

In spite of the fact that Mr. McKinney somehow forgot to read the perp his Miranda Rights in all the confusion, the arrest went down with quick dispatch and model efficiency, proving once again that you just don’t mess with Texas. The perp, a Mr. Marquis Anderson, was unavailable for comment due to an immediate need for a blood transfusion and several hundred stitches - obviously incurred when he accidentally tripped and fell down during the arrest.

Mr. McKinney will receive our Official Texas Shitkicker Award (as soon as we get them in stock) along with our thanks for a job well done. Our only regret is that the perp didn’t fatally hurt himself while trying to escape. Oh, well - you can’t have everything ...

Intruder Trying To Steal Guns, Jewelry Gets A Beating
Homeowner takes burglar’s weapon, uses it to pound him
DALLAS, Tx. (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) - 08:40 PM CST on Thursday, January 4, 2007

imageimage A Red Bird-area homeowner turned the tables on a gun-toting burglar Wednesday night, taking the weapon away from him and beating him up with it. The suspect, identified by police as 21-year-old Marquis D. Anderson (pictured at right in a mug shot from a previous arrest), ended up in a local hospital.

“When the police got him, he wasn’t able to talk,” said Steven Flowers, a neighbor whose home was also burglarized. “He got beat bad. I wish it had been me [who delivered the beating]. I would have done the same thing.”

Mr. Flowers, who lives on Greenspan Avenue near Interstate 35E and Camp Wisdom Road, arrived home shortly after 6 p.m. to find that his home had been burglarized. The burglar had kicked in a rear door and stolen jewelry and a handgun.

“I noticed the lights on in my house,” said Mr. Flowers, who has lived there about eight years. “I could see a silhouette, peeking out of the window of my den. I left and called 911.”

Police records show that the suspect fled that home and broke into a neighboring home in the 7600 block of Woodspan Drive. That homeowner, Prentice McKinney, arrived home to find his front bedroom light on, his front window busted out and a man looking out the window at him, records state.

Mr. Flowers said that Mr. McKinney went into the home through the window and confronted the burglar. Police said the suspect fired a shot at Mr. McKinney, but it hit a wall instead.

“He said by the time the guy realized he was in the house, he had already pounced on him and beat him up pretty bad,” Mr. Flowers said. “He can’t remember how he got the gun from him. He said he just had so much adrenaline pumping, he just kind of lost it.”

The burglar had tried to steal two handguns and jewelry from that home, a report said. When police arrived, they found the unconscious burglar in a pool of blood on the hallway floor.

Mr. McKinney had a cut to his right arm and was treated at the scene but told police he would take himself to the hospital to be checked out. Another home on Woodspan Drive also was burglarized, police said. A cellphone taken from that house was recovered at the home on Greenspan Avenue.

Mr. Flowers said that his wife had passed away about eight months ago and that the thief had ransacked his home and stolen their wedding bands and a .38-caliber handgun. He said he got all of his things back but still felt disturbed and violated.

He said he felt the burglar got what was coming to him. “He’ll think twice,” Mr. Flowers said.

In late November, Mr. Anderson was arrested on suspicion of burglary of a habitation. He was released from the Dallas County jail on $2,500 bail. On Thursday, he remained in a local hospital in police custody. He faces at least one count of burglary of a habitation.

Boxer Shorts

Democrats are shocked (SHOCKED, they say) to hear that CAIR members support terrorists and terrorism in general. Either Barbara Boxer is incredibly stupid or a consummate liar. You make the call. For her education we present the following (pay attention - there will be a test later):

Senator Pulls Award to Muslim Leader
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (NEWSDAY) - January 4, 2007, 10:54 PM EST

imageimageSen. Barbara Boxer rescinded a certificate honoring a member of a Muslim advocacy group after his national organization was accused on conservative Web sites of supporting terrorism.

“We made a bad mistake not researching the organization,” the California Democrat said. “My organization created this problem. I caused people grief, and I feel terrible. Yet I need to set the record straight, and I’m setting the record straight.”

A leader of the group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the organization did not support terrorism and was being misrepresented because of the actions of a couple of former officials.

“Anyone who doubts where we stand on the issue of terrorism does not understand Islam, the Muslim community or CAIR,” said Nihad Awad, the group’s national executive director.

Basim Elkarra, executive director of the council’s Sacramento chapter, received a certificate from Boxer’s office in November “in recognition of (his) outstanding service.” Elkarra said the award reflected his group’s bridge-building efforts with Christians, Jews, minority groups and the FBI.

But Boxer’s communication’s director, Natalie Ravitz, sent a letter Dec. 21 withdrawing the certificate after the senator was criticized on conservative Web sites. Ravitz said that former members of the council had been sentenced to prison and that CAIR had refused to label Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations.

Awad told the Sacramento Bee that the group condemns all attacks on civilians and it is unfair to hold the entire organization responsible for the actions of individuals.

David Horowitz, editor-in-chief of the Web site that first criticized Boxer, was pleased with the senator’s decision. “The fact that Democrats are finally waking up is good,” he told Newsweek.

Navy to Name Aircraft Carrier After Ford
(WASHINGTON POST) - Wednesday, January 3, 2007; 9:17 PM

The Navy will name its next aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford in honor of the president who was laid to rest Wednesday in his home town of Grand Rapids, Mich., officials said.

The Navy had not planned to make the announcement yet, but Donald H. Rumsfeld, the former defense secretary who served in the Ford administration, divulged the news during his eulogy at the funeral.

“How fitting it would be that the name Gerald R. Ford will patrol the high seas for decades to come in defense of the nation he loved so much,” he said.

Later at the Pentagon the Navy confirmed that it would make an official announcement “in a few weeks.” It said it was still working on details of the ceremony with members of the Ford family. Ford served in the Navy during World War II.

“Moon Over Andromeda”
(Click image for larger 1600x1750 image in popup window)

The Great Spiral Galaxy in Andromeda (aka M31), a mere 2.5 million light-years distant, is the closest large spiral to our own Milky Way. Andromeda is visible to the unaided eye as a small, faint, fuzzy patch, but because its surface brightness is so low, casual skygazers can’t appreciate the galaxy’s impressive extent in planet Earth’s sky.

This entertaining composite image compares the angular size of the nearby galaxy to a brighter, more familiar celestial sight. In it, a deep exposure of Andromeda, tracing beautiful blue star clusters in spiral arms far beyond the bright yellow core, is combined with a typical view of a nearly full Moon.

Shown at the same angular scale, the Moon covers about 1/2 degree on the sky, while the galaxy is clearly several times that size. The deep Andromeda exposure also includes two bright satellite galaxies, M32 and M110 (bottom).

Operation Crushed Nuts: Custers Last Stand

Somalis, Ethiopians Engage Islamists
MOGADISHU, Somalia (ABC NEWS) - Jan 4, 2007

image imageGovernment troops backed by Ethiopian soldiers were fighting about 600 Islamic militiamen in the southern tip of Somalia, an official spokesman said Thursday. In the past 10 days, Ethiopian-backed government forces have driven out the Islamic movement that had controlled Mogadishu and much of southern Somalia for more than six months. The Islamic movement retreated to the southern tip of Somalia and vowed to keep fighting, raising the specter of an Iraq-style guerrilla war.

The Somali forces have surrounded the Islamic militiamen “from every direction” in the southwestern district of Badade, near the Kenyan border, government spokesman Abdirahman Dinari told The Associated Press. “The fighting is going on,” Dinari said. “We hope they will either surrender or be killed by our troops.”

Kenya sent extra troops to the Somali frontier and closed its border, fearing an exodus of refugees and foreign fighters. Dinari said some Islamic militants have been trying to escape by sea. “But U.S. anti-terrorist forces have been deployed there to prevent them from escaping,” he added.

In Washington on Wednesday, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said U.S. Navy vessels were deployed off the Somali coast looking for al-Qaida and allied militants trying to escape. Dinari said the government believes foreign terrorist elements are among the Islamic militiamen fighting in Badade.

With the Islamic movement’s fighters on the run, concern has grown about extremists believed to be among them. Three al-Qaida suspects in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa are believed to be leaders of the Islamic movement. The movement denies having any links to al-Qaida.

Earlier Thursday, Somalia’s Interior Minister Hussein Aideed said there are about 3,500 Islamists hiding in the capital and they are “likely to destabilize the security of the city.”

Aideed did not explain the source of his information or what prompted his comments. Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi later tried to play down the threat and disputed Aideed’s number of Islamists hiding in the capital, although he did not offer his own estimate. The Somali Islamic movement denies having any links to al-Qaida. Earlier Thursday, Somalia’s Interior Minister Hussein Aideed said there are about 3,500 Islamists hiding in the capital and they are “likely to destabilize the security of the city.”

Aideed did not explain the source of his information or what prompted his comments. Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi later tried to play down the threat and disputed Aideed’s number of Islamists hiding in the capital, although he did not offer his own estimate.

Gedi said his government would begin efforts to disarm Somalis by seizing large arms caches located around Mogadishu. A house-by-house search will follow, the prime minister told journalists, without saying when that will happen.

Thursday was the deadline for people in Mogadishu to surrender their arms. Gedi said the disarmament program was progressing but offered no details. By Wednesday, only a handful of people had heeded Gedi’s demand and turned in any weapons in the capital. In Ethiopia, a top U.S. diplomat said that she hopes African peacekeepers will be in Somalia by the end of the month.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni had promised President Bush in a recent phone call that he could supply between 1,000-2,000 troops to protect Somalia’s transitional government and train its troops, said Jendayi Frazer, assistant U.S. secretary of state for Africa, after meeting Museveni. Frazer said there had been no request for U.S. troops or military assistance so far.
