Well that's about as irritating...
...as a pair of 60 grit chamois
...
Apparently you can't vote for multiple parties in the WI primary even if you don't just get lazy and simply check one. The computer rejected my mix of Republicans and Libertarians, despite only voting one person per office.
Party line voting is retarded.

Coffee...
Delicious delicious coffee... I don't think I would be able to make it through this month without it. The Basement Brewhouse on campus serves up various flavors of Stone Creek Coffee, right now I'm sipping the excellent Hazelnut blend.
There's some darn fine roasters in this state.

MOH Vid'ya Game
If'n you hadn't heard, apparently the powers that be are rather butt-hurt that you can play as a Taliban in the newest MOH title and pulled it from AAFES's shelves (er, won't be putting it on them... it's not actually out yet.) For you non-.mil folks AAFES is the Army/Air Force Exchange System, better known as the PX. There's also talk around the intertubes about boycotting the game over it too, which is just silly.
Apparently there's thought that our service members can't handle the option of playing as the bad guy and killing a digital representation of the good guys. Nevermind that anytime you do force on force training somebody needs to be OpFor... Nevermind that in MW2's multi-player settings half the time you're playing the bad guys... The people in charge simply don't think that the unwashed enlisted masses aren't grown up enough to realize it's just a video game.
In reality, guys are still going to buy it. All AAFES has accomplished is driving sales for Amazon
. I know I'm still planning to buy it eventually. I just hope the single player narrative is longer than MW2's. I suck at the online stuff.

...but always a nice one. Uncle mentions the FBI stats show crime is down, despite the huge upswing in gun sales in 2009. Some more numbers over at ENDO.
Of course the anti's will cry out it's unrelated, despite the mentioned upswing in sales, the death of the DC ban, and the increase in the OC movement, all of which should have caused us to be swimming in a blood ocean (heh). It should be real interesting to see what happens to Chicago's numbers when the 2010 numbers come out...

Absolutely Gorgeous.
I completely agree with Steve, this rifle is simply stunning. I just wish there was a better sense of scale in those pictures...
