And the chick with the leopard has nothing to do with it.  Really.

I nearly missed it.  Actually, I left comment #1,000 myself in reply to another comment, so I'll give credit to JR of A Keyboard and a .45 for leaving the 1,001st comment.

Thanks, that comment included some good information regarding dealing with fire ants.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment here.

And here's why I don't really give a rat's ass about those lawyers getting fired.

At The Liberty Sphere: Priorities for the DOJ Without Gonzalez

In addition to the DOJ's failure to bring under control the nation's lamentable illegal alien problem, it has also failed to reign in one of the most dangerous, corrupt, and oppressive operations within the federal government, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Formerly known as the ATF, the BATFE, to put it bluntly, is simply not needed. It should be discontinued and buried quickly.

This wing of the Department of Justice has been the source of some of the nation's most memorable and unnecessary tragedies, such as Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian compound.

Today, their reign of terror is being conducted against gun shop owners and gun and ammo manufacturers.

Granted, these travesties of justice did not begin with the Bush Administration. Many of the present policies were initiated under George the First and exacerbated by the Clinton Administration. The problem under George the Second has been ineptitude and the failure to correct misguided policies of the past.

And for the newest twist in the ongoing saga, Red's Trading Post has found strong suggestions that the ATF is building an illegal database resulting in de facto gun registration.

Tomorrow is the day to buy ammo.  I have no confidence that it will send a message to the Bradys and their sycophants because hard, bitter truth hasn't gotten through them to so far.

This morning after I was up but before I left for work, a car pulled into our driveway and got about halfway to the house before they stopped.  We live out in the country, about 2 miles off the nearest farm road, and about 1/4 mile from the end of a dead-end county road.  We don't get strange traffic here.  Unfamiliar cars cruising down the road sends up red flags, and not just for me, but for all of the neighbors.

Our house is about 50 yards away from the road, so someone pulling halfway down the driveway at 5:00 AM did a lot more than send up red flags.  It sent me into full ballistic alert.

They sat in the driveway about 25 yards from the house for a few minutes while the dogs when apesh*t and I stood in the shadows and waited for movement with some reassurance in my hand.  They finally backed out and went farther down toward the dead end.  Since they didn't come back out for the next 40 minutes or so, I think they were there legitimately, but were not familiar with the road and had pulled into the wrong driveway.

However, the experience has helped me decide what to buy tomorrow.
