Permalink • a plot inspired by al-Qaeda but conceived entirely on British soil.
Police have broken up a terrorist ring. But damn it, these filthy sub human muslim scum can be out and free in 6 years. Why? Because .... well here.
Read it yourself.
Some of these sub humans are Brit born. Some would say they’re actually British as well as human. Well some would be mistaken.
Interesting however. How times and attitudes change with the help of the weepy eyed left.
After WW2, the Brits murdered a fellow known as Lord Haw-Haw. OK, They executed him then, for treason. Thing is though, he was not a Brit nor was he a Brit citizen, having accepted German citizenship. He was in fact, an American originally. But the victors in any war require blood revenge and so they killed him.
In actual fact btw, his wife was closer to committing treason as she was Brit born and raised. I guess her role working for the Germans was lesser. ??
He made propaganda broadcasts that most Brits laughed at, they were usually so bizarre.
So fast forward to 2012 and guys who were plotting to kill on a grand scale and support foreign terrorists though born here, go to jail for a few years and then will be free. I guess what these vermin were planning wasn’t treason. ??????
My take? After the war the left wanted Haw-Haw dead. Today the left wants to keep these scum alive cos killing them might violate some sort of rights issue.
Big Ben bomb gang out in six years: Outrage as terror plotters plead guilty in turn for light sentencesThe conspiracy involved nine Muslim defendants
They were all British, living in London, Cardiff and Stoke-on-Trent
Al-Qaeda inspired radicals arrested FOUR days before they planned to plant bombs in London Stock Exchange toilets
By REBECCA CAMBERA terror gang who planned a Mumbai-style bomb blitz in London could walk free in less than six years after striking an extraordinary 11th-hour plea bargain.
The four Muslim fanatics intended to unleash a Christmas campaign of atrocities with targets including the Stock Exchange, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye.
They and five others had been facing a five-month trial at Woolwich Crown Court and could have expected sentences of 20 years.But at the 11th hour they decided to plead guilty after a judge indicated they would receive lesser sentences for admitting the plot.
The Crown wanted to avoid both the estimated £2.5million cost of a high-security trial and the possibility of acquittals.
So a rare so-called ‘Goodyear’ direction hearing was arranged in which defence barristers receive guidance from the judge about how long he plans to jail those accused if they admit their guilt.
In this case, Mr Justice Wilkie suggested ringleader Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, would receive no more than 13½ years and his 28-year-old accomplice, Shah Rahman, 12 years.
He said the case did not merit an indefinite imprisonment for public protection because their plans were not developed, and he took account of Chowdhury’s youth.
Chowdhury is likely to spend less than half of his sentence behind bars owing to time already served on remand, while Rahman can expect to be out in five years.
Following the Goodyear hearing, others who had lesser roles in the plot swiftly pleaded guilty knowing that they would attract even more lenient jail terms when they are sentenced next week.
Tory MP Patrick Mercer said a term of five or six years ‘does not seem particularly serious’ for acts of terrorism which could have killed many innocent people.

This really is the craziest darn place.
Look at this. Group of law abiding ppl doing their volunteer best to protect their home grounds. The so called Travelers bought the property legally. However, they broke the law by developing on the green belt. You do not simply go somewhere and dig up the land. But they do it all the time because laws are meaningless to them. And you must be careful how you speak to the mo****ers, or you could be banged up for raaaaaaaaism. Yeah really. The previous govt. declared them a race and so there are things you may say which in turn will be used against you.
So then, a group of people are doing their best to stop illegal development but THEY are the ones now being evicted from their site.
Tear down your protest camp! After two years of protecting green belt against illegal traveller invasion, villagers get THEIR marching orders
Residents warn illegal site is in danger of becoming Dale Farm II
Travellers paid £100,000 to buy paddock - and moved in over bank holiday weekend when the council was powerless to stop them developing it.
Residents barricaded the site in Meriden, West Midlands, to keep out trucks delivering 1,800 tons of hardcore rubble
200 villagers manned camp to make sure the site is not developed - but THEY are given their marching orders
By ANDY DOLANFor 642 days, the residents have camped out to prevent the spread of an illegal traveller camp on the edge of their village.
But now the vigilant villagers of Meriden are being thrown off their protest camp – while the travellers remain.
Planning officials ruled that the residents’ rudimentary shelter of caravan, tarpaulin and wood-burning stove constituted an illegal development and must be dismantled.
But the town hall has so far failed to move on the travellers, despite the rejection of their planning application.
The decision was last night condemned by the residents of the West Midlands village, who branded the move by Solihull Council’s planning committee a ‘disgrace’.
They warned the illegal traveller site was in danger of becoming Dale Farm II – a reference to the mass illegal occupation in Cray’s Hill, Essex, which only ended after a multi-million pound, decade-long planning row.
The Meriden travellers paid £100,000 to buy a paddock from a local businessman and, in time-honoured fashion, moved on to the land at the start of a bank holiday weekend in April last year – when the council was powerless to stop them developing the site.
But they had not reckoned on the determination of villagers to preserve the Meriden Gap greenbelt which separates the village from Coventry and Solihull.
As word spread, residents swung into action, descending on the eight-acre site and forming a human barricade to prevent a convoy of lorries from delivering 1,800 tons of hardcore rubble to the site later that evening.
Ever since, around 200 residents have manned their camp around the clock to make sure the site is not developed any further, working to a rota with shifts lasting anything from an hour to overnight.
Only last week they succeeded in preventing another eight lorry loads of hardcore from being deposited at the site.
But like their foes, the residents did not have planning permission for the camp – which stands on a builders’ yard driveway immediately opposite the gypsy settlement – and, last night, the Tory-run authority voted to issue an enforcement against it.
Planners ordered them to remove the stove, caravan and tarpaulin by March 31, even though the owner of the builders’ yard has given them full permission to remain there.
Around 80 villagers and members of the residents’ group Meriden RAID (Residents Against Inappropriate Development) packed into a meeting last night at the council house to hear the decision.

I think if Mitt Romney loses the primary or loses the election, it might mean the end of Ann Coulter. She’s pulling her oar for Mittens as hard as she can, and I think that effort is letting the true colors of her petticoats peek out from underneath. And that means that she’s just as big a part of the establishment GOP machine, the Old Money Old Boys Club, as the rest of them.
It was bad enough that publicly she wrote the Birthers off as the tinfoil hat brigade when they first got going. Now, fine, she doesn’t like Newt and she likes Romney ( I always figured Ann for a new England girl. I have no idea where she is from, but I’d guess Massachussets. Vassar much, perhaps? ), and she’s a lawyer, which means she makes her living bending the facts to suit her needs. Like this whopper in her latest diatribe:
Until Obamacare, mandatory private health insurance was considered the free-market alternative to the Democrats’ piecemeal socialization of the entire medical industry.
Liar liar low-cut form-fitting black cocktail dress on fire! “Mandatory” and “free market” have NOTHING IN COMMON. Privately purchased health insurance, done at your own whim, is free market. Employer provided health insurance is also free market, because the company goes and buys it from whomever they want. Sometimes in a big company the employees can even choose which plan they want. But neither of those is MANDATORY.
We’re going through the evil and embarrassing stage of the primary campaign right now. Ann is not helping things by being evil and embarrassing herself. She’s always been good at pissing off the Left, and she gets better at pissing off the rest of us every day. But I’m sure her hero Mittens approves.
Go and read it if you really have to. To give her some credit, she does try to pull out of that a bit, but she still comes down in favor of mandated health insurance. At the state level, not the federal level. That’s actually a huge difference, but it’s still a freedom killing idea. And she uses the terrible tyranny of precedent to support it - states make you buy car insurance, wear seat belts, not talk on a cell phone while driving, and take a blood test before marriage, so mandatory health insurance is Ok. WRONG. None of those things would exist in a free society. All of them are encroachments on our freedom. Proof right there that Ann is not a Tea Party kind of girl and never was.
News flash Ann: real free people have the right to choose not to buy insurance. Yeah, and it’s tough shit on us if we get sick or injured and can’t pay for it. So, since we’re supposed to be this wonderful, caring, enlightened republic, shouldn’t we get the states together with the feds then and hack out a minimal basic coverage plan that can then be offered by the states and required by mandate? Sure, but only if you think your freedom needs to be sliced away a little at a time, for your own good.
No one is claiming that the Constitution gives each person an unalienable right not to buy insurance.
I am. Because it does, right there in the fine print of the penumbra of the 10th Amendment. The very same penumbra that said that neither the States nor the feds could make laws that limited what a woman could do with her own pregnancy.

Sometimes the bad guys do get taken down quickly.
Wanna bet the creep will sue?
Hope it hurt a lot when he fell.
Brave guy what. Knock down an old lady and grab her purse. But not this time. Look and read.
Take a look at the bad guy. I haven’t seen anyone look this stupid since the would be shoe bomber.
Dramatic moment Good Samaritan rugby tackled thug who robbed woman, 82
By DAILY MAIL REPORTERThis is the dramatic moment a mugger who robbed an elderly woman of her pension got rough justice - after being rugby tackled by a Good Samaritan in the middle of a car park.
Violent thug Benjamin Brown had attacked the 82-year-old woman and snatched her handbag outside a post office in Leicester.
But as he fled he was spotted by Sam Woodward, who chased after the thief and grabbed him as he tried to get away.
After rugby tackling him to the ground, former doorman Mr Woodward kept Brown in an arm lock for 10 minutes until police arrived, before handing back the stunned pensioner’s handbag.
Mr Woodward said: ‘When I caught up with him, I rugby tackled him to the ground, got him in an arm lock and waited for the police to arrive.
‘I used to be a doorman for five years so I knew what I was doing and I didn’t hurt him too much.’
Brown, 31, was jailed for five years after admitting the robbery in July 2011 and a string of other offences at Leicester Crown Court earlier this week.
A court heard his previous convictions included stealing three medals worth £600 from a war memorabilia stall in Loughborough.
Mr Woodward added: ‘You could tell the victim was in shock - she walked over to me while I was still sitting on top of him and asked for her purse back, because she’d like to go home.
Good Samaritan: Sam Woodward, left, described the actions of Benjamin Brown, right, as ‘lower than low’
‘I went to see her in hospital after it happened and she was still shaky and she looked like she’d been involved in a rugby match - she was covered in bruises.
‘I’m glad he got a long sentence as this is something that will probably stay with her for the rest of her life.’
The victim, who has asked not to be named, was kept in hospital overnight with cuts, grazes and a knee injury.
Don’t find a lot of stories with reasonably good end to em.

Permalink • idiot equality minister takes offense at beer tap. shocking photo seen here.
If any of the men had any grit, they’d have told the stupid bitch to get a life. But oh f***in no. The order of the day in these politically correct times, is to give the ‘F’ in. Always give in the offended or ones who might become so.
Dumb shits! Sorry ppl but this kind of sorry assed stuff just makes me see red.
Top Totty beer banned from Parliamentary bar in case it offends womenA beer called Top Totty was banned from a Parliamentary bar today because its pump plate featuring a half-naked lady offended women.
One sorry phony who is an “equality” minister who makes extra money cos she is the equality minister. And here’s what has her most likely unwashed knickers in a twist. Take a look.
Totty’s Stafford-based brewer Slater’s describes the ale as ‘a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma’
Shadow equalities minister Kate Green was left ‘’disturbed’’ after seeing the 4% ale’s advertising in a popular Westminster watering hole and demanded bar staff remove it from sale.
Within 90 minutes House authorities ordered the beer to be withdrawn after Commons’ Leader Sir George Young told MPs: ‘’Action will be taken.’’
A barman told the Press Association: ‘’I can confirm it was withdrawn from sale at 1.30pm.’’
The bitter backlash developed after Ms Green told the Commons: ‘’I was disturbed last night to learn that the guest beer in the Strangers’ Bar is called Top Totty and there is a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap.’’She called for a debate on ‘’dignity at work in Parliament’’ and asked Sir George to back her demands for Top Totty to be ‘’withdrawn immediately from the bar’’.
Top Totty’s Stafford-based brewer Slater’s describes the ale as ‘’a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma’’.Its website adds: ‘’This award winning beer, brewed solely with Whitbread Goldings hops, produces an initial burst of bitterness with a citrus fruity finish.’’
Speaking as MPs discussed future Commons business, Sir George said he was ‘’not aware of this particular picture’’ but pledged to raise the issue with House authorities.He added: ‘’I am sure appropriate action will be taken.
‘’I would very much regret it if any offensive pictures were on display in any part of the House.’’
Commons Speaker John Bercow’s wife Sally, who last year famously posed in just a bed sheet for a photo shoot, took to Twitter to vent her anger at the beer.
She wrote: ‘’Cannot *believe* that there’s a beer called Top Totty on sale in the Commons! Outrageous - does Mr B know?’’
The beer’s withdrawal will come as a blow to Tory MP Jeremy Lefroy, who organised for Top Totty to be sold in Strangers’.Announcing its introduction as the bar’s guest ale, the Stafford MP said: ‘’This is a great opportunity to showcase a fantastic and award winning beer.
‘’Slater’s Brewery produces many popular beers which have been brewed locally for more than 15 years and it is great to be able to share some of Staffordshire’s finest produce with colleagues in Parliament.’’
‘’Cannot *believe* that there’s a beer called Top Totty on sale in the Commons! Outrageous
Yeah right. And this from a woman, married to the Speaker of the house who bragged publicly about her numerous one night stands before marriage, and who not surprisingly supports the left, she is outraged also. Uh huh. Another phony.

New report released by GOP lawmakers suggests top Justice officials had extensive knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious
Top Department of Justice officials had extensive knowledge of and involvement in Operation Fast and Furious, claims a new report released Thursday, hours before Attorney General Eric Holder’s scheduled testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The report released by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, top lawmakers investigating the botched gunrunning operation, claims Justice Department officials in Washington and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were involved in the coordination in the early stages of the operation.
Justice headquarters “had much greater knowledge of, and involvement in, Fast and Furious than it has previously acknowledged,” the memo reads.
The memo, which contradicts claims by the Justice Department, is based upon interviews, documents and emails involving key players of the operation run by the ATF. The operation allowed some 2,000 weapons cross the border into Mexico and into the hands of cartel members.
Gak, why is this even news?
Is it finally, finally becoming obvious to even the willfully blind that F & F had to be run from the very top, with the involvement of all the major players and all the LEO departments? We figured that one out 7 months ago, and then a short essay by a DC insider on how the system works (meetings, sign-offs, emails, CYA when things are ‘above your pay grade’, etc ) drove the point home. No kidding. It could not have been any other way. DHS, BATFE, FBI, DOJ, and the whole alphabet of agencies probably even including the CIA are in this up to their eyeballs and have been since the beginning. State Department too in all likelihood, right up to the very top (HRH HRC) and that strongly implies White House involvement. “We’ve got something in the works, under the radar” quoth Fearless Reader back in the day.
The media is only starting to bay about Eric Holder. They haven’t even begun to think about Janet Napolitano. It might take them a century to have the epiphany that at least a handful of Senators and Congressweasels are also involved, along with quite a number of top state officials. Fast and Furious was not an accident and it did not operate in a vacuum.
We The People aren’t stupid, and we figured out the obvious months ago: that a large chunk of our federal government and some of our state governments were knowingly involved in a wide ranging action that was this close to being an act of war against a neighboring sovereign nation, all done to further their Alinksi plans to fracture society and to serve as the ultimate example for shredding the keystone piece of the Constitution that protects the rest of it.
It failed. The word leaked out. And now DC is furiously blowing smoke and twisting mirrors as fast as they can. Needless to say, the media is fairly complicit, since this has never been more than a bit of a small scale back burner sidebar story for just a few of the networks. If this shit ever really hits the fan, Holder will be left holding the bag ... and nobody will ever connect the dots to all the other players involved.
Fast and Furious is 1000 times dirtier than Watergate. This should have toppled the whole government. It is the prime example of the hubris in DC and their above-the-law elitist mentality. And for the most part, the mindless sheeple ignore it or are completely unaware of it, because the media doesn’t want to splatter any mud on their masters.

Saying that he is issuing administrative maneuvers for a “homeowners bill of rights” and other means to investigate and prevent abuses in the mortgage industry, Obama told an audience in Falls Church, Va., that he wants the Federal Housing Administration to guarantee refinancing for families who are current on their mortgages.
...
Obama said the bill of rights would compliment the work approved by the Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
“Now that our new consumer watchdog financial agency is running at full steam, now that Richard Cordray is in as the director of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, they’re moving forward on protections like this,” he said.
...
“I’ll be honest, the programs we’ve put forward didn’t work at the scale we’d hoped,” Obama said. “Not as many people have taken advantage of it as we wanted.”
The administration proposal faces a major hurdle in Congress. The program would cost between $5 billion and $10 billion, depending on participation, and the administration proposes to pay for it with a fee on large banks. The administration has tried unsuccessfully before to win support for such a tax on large banks.
Gee I wonder why. Hey Mr. Banker, whaddya say we put a new law in that forces you to make less money, and we tax you to cover the overhead costs of the whole program? No? You don’t like that? Why not?? Boo hoo, you’re so unfair! Capitalism sucks!!!

Permalink • Quick Chili
I made this up last night in under an hour. Usually for me a batch of chili takes at least 3 hours, slowly simmering away until all the flavors open and bloom. This one uses finely ground peppers, so that happens quickly. And the recipe is really easy to remember.
Three’s Chili
3 Tbs olive oil
3 small yellow onions, peeled and roughly chopped
3 quarters of a pound of ground beef
3 cloves of garlic, roughly minced
3 large Ancho chiles
3 Guajillo chiles
3 Chipotle chiles
1 1lb can of red kidney beans or pinto beans
1 28oz can of chopped tomatoes
3 quarters of a cup of water or beer
1 heaping tablespoon cumin seeds
oregano
chili powder from the dollar store
Cheddar or Monteray Jack cheese
Sour Cream
Stem and seed the dried peppers. Use a good hefty pair of sharp scissors to cut them into small bits, then add them all to a Magic Bullet or other small enclosed power chopper device. Grind them into powder. Grind the cumin seeds in another container or spice grinder, add half to the powdered chili, set the other half aside.
Heat the olive oil slowly in a large high sided skillet or wok pan. Add the onions and let them soften and begin to brown. Add the ground beef and cook it until the pink is gone. Open the can of beans and rinse them a bit, then add to the pan. Put in the garlic. Stir things around and let it cook a couple minutes. Add the ground pepper/cumin mix, stir. Pour in the whole can of tomatoes, liquid and all. Add in the water. Heat it up to boil, then reduce to a medium simmer. Taste test, and add more cumin if necessary to bring that flavor forward. It will taste hot at this point, don’t worry; the heat of the chipotle cooks off. Add a decent shake of oregano. If it seems to need some salt, add a teaspoon or so of the dollar store chili. That has plenty of salt in it already plus a little garlic and some sweet chili. Stir every couple minutes and let it simmer for half an hour or so.
Serve in bowls with grated cheese on top and a dollop of cream cheese, chips on the side. Serves four. This chili has a small amount of heat, but it’s really rich in Tex-Mex flavor. The chipotle adds a nice smokey flavor. If you want even more of that, grind up 1 or 2 pasilla de Oaxaca chiles. These are usually very smokey. Intensely so, but with heat. Mulatos could work for that too, with less heat, or other smoked sweet chiles.
I buy dried cumin and chiles by the pound which really brings the cost down; I think it costs about $5 to make this whole dish, not including the cheese or sour cream. If you like your chili red hot, add a spoonful of ground Cayenne or slice a couple of fresh Serranos into the simmer.

I NEED A BIGGER TARBRUSH redux
I’d like to weigh in on ‘racism’.
Bullshit.
Sorry, but I’m one of these people who remember MLK’s speech “…not the color of their skin, but the content of their character.”
Allow me to show you my family:
Actually, I’m not certain who’s on First. I think that’s Michael, next is my sister Michelle, next is Rachel, (Mother of my niece Erika, that I just posted about), Next is half-sister Laura, Then Anthony Johnson…
Anthony Scott Johnson (born October 25, 1967 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a former professional American football running back for eleven seasons in the National Football League for the Indianapolis Colts, the New York Jets, the Chicago Bears, the Carolina Panthers, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson now ministers as the chaplain to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He attended Stanley Clark School, and then played high school football at John Adams High School, where his jersey is still on display. He also played college football at Notre Dame.
My point? Not a racist. However, you better behave!
Have to admit one regret… there was a time I could carry Michael and Anthony under both arms. They’re way too big for that anymore!

An observation on life in a communist microcosm.
We live in a condo park. On the ten or so roads in this little village there are 438 housing units in 55 buildings of about 8 units each, with parking everywhere in between. Everyone pays a fat monthly fee to the condo association, and they in turn supply the water, hire people to mow the lawn, plow the snow, collect the garbage, run the pool, maintain the buildings and generally keep the place neat and tidy. Sure, we have a bunch of silly rules (eg these units are all electric, yet everyone must have a CO detector, and the state comes around every couple years to inspect it), but most of the time it’s pretty cool.
We don’t have individual garbage cans. Instead, every other building has a nicely finished wood corral with a 5 yard dumpster inside, and the truck comes around twice a week.
We don’t have individual recycling either. We have commingle, and every other other building has one of those wooden corrals just for recycling. The problem is, down at our end of the village, that 5 buildings share this 1 corral, and inside are just 3 giant garbage can bins and a shelf for newspapers and cardboard. Which are supposed to be cut to size and bundled with string. Sure. In theory. In theory the recycling guys come by every week. In theory. Every Friday.
It’s only Wednesday and the recycling corral is an overflowing disaster. All 3 bins are overflowing, several plastic bags of commingle are on the ground, there is cardboard in willy-nilly heaps all over the place, and loose newspaper everywhere.
We’re all supposed to take care of the corrals, and not make a mess for our neighbors to deal with. Riiiiight.
The truth is that when more than 3 people are responsible for anything, no one is actually responsible for it at all. When it takes a village, or even a good part of a neighborhood, and nobody is watching, it never gets done. One person either has to do the work, or crack the whip.
So when I took our recycling over there this afternoon, I spent a few minutes trying to neaten the place up. Again. There really wasn’t too much I could do; that corral gets too much traffic and needs more carrying capacity. So I took 5 big boxes that hadn’t been broken down or tied up, and set them up on top of the bins to hold even more recycling. I hope that will be enough until Friday. Then I went back inside and called the office, and requested - again - that we get at least 2 more bins for that corral. I don’t see what else I can do.
Come Saturday, I’ll go back out there with a knife, some twine, and a snow shovel to scoop up some of the mess. Again. Seems I do this about every other month. It’s not my job.
On top of one of the heaps of waste paper was a 2011 calendar someone was getting rid of. It was a whole year of piggy pictures, done by Eide and Flynn, who have made a good career out of animal photography. So I took it, and I’m thinking of making up a sign. I can use one of the piggies, which really are adorable. Make it cute, make it funny, and maybe people won’t be insulted. Too much. In theory.
Now, all I have to figure out is how to say “Clean up your effing mess you lame-ass shite-crusted crotch weasel, we’re sick of it!” in a charming and humorous diplomatic manner.

Couple still has wedding present toaster from 60 years ago.
And it still works just fine.
And it was made in England.
They believe their toaster is the oldest in Britain.
And Fred and Joan Horley have no problem remembering just how old their appliance is.
The Morphy Richards device was a gift for their wedding which took place on May 23, 1953, and has been going strong ever since.
Delighted with his kitchen appliance, Fred, 80, from Glenholt, Devon said: ‘We have gone through a dozen electric kettles in that time but the toaster is as good as new.
‘I have never had to touch it. The chrome is still in perfect condition except a few marks on the top.’ ‘I don’t think they make them in such good quality any more.’ ‘We are very proud of it. It really is the best thing since sliced bread.’
‘We didn’t consciously keep it, it is just that we never had any reason to replace it. The only other thing I’ve still got from my wedding day is my wife.’
I think congratulations are in order, both for them and for their well built little appliance.

"Seriously”, I think “unexpected” ought to be purged from the lexicon.
January: Unexpected Lack Of Job Creation!
The pace of job creation by private employers slowed more than expected in January after a sharp gain the month before, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.
The private sector added 170,000 jobs last month, the ADP National Employment Report showed, shy of economists’ expectations for a gain of 185,000 jobs.
The ADP figures come ahead of the government’s more comprehensive labor market report on Friday, which includes both public and private sector employment.
That report is expected to show the economy created 150,000 jobs, and a gain in private payrolls of 170,000.
ADP also revised down December’s private payrolls to an increase of 292,000 from the previously reported 325,000.
Obama’s policies hard at work: the best economy in the world continues to flatline.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. If that little fatso sees his shadow, we get 6 more weeks of winter, even though we haven’t had any yet. I think not Phil. I think you need to move on ...
The standard .22-250 is a bona fide 700-800 yard varmint cartridge, which means it’s accurate enough to hit critters the size of a bottle of shampoo at those distances and turn them into mincemeat. A long standardized wildcat version called the .22-250 Ackley Improved takes a lot of the body taper out of the round and gives it a steeper shoulder angle. This gives the reloader a bit more room for more gun powder, which in turn gives slightly higher velocities. But this is a custom made rifle, so you would be smart to also get a top quality barrel with a faster than normal rifling twist and a slightly longer, tight and parallel throat built in. That lets you seat big (for the caliber; eg 80-90 grains) a bit further out for even more powder capacity and thus velocity, and it all adds up to make the Ackley version a 1000 yard squirrel gun. Also suitable for eliminating pesky groundhogs, even in the “dead of winter”. In some parts of Texas, I hear they use the .22-250 to hunt deer with. Wisconsin too? I hope those that do so are good enough hunters to go for the head shot on still deer at close ranges; I’m not positive that even the heavier non-frangible bullets (60gr Nosler Partition)are enough for a body shot but they might be.
For just about everything you’d ever want to know about this cartridge, go here. And here is a “white mist” .22-250 video that’s safe for tender stomachs.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
