Just got back from the hospital. I’ll be taking it easy for the next little bit. Posting will resume when I feel up to it.

Via WEERD comes this diagram. Note there are no rifle bullets listed on it. Wonder why…
Yes, I know November is over with, but it’s taken me a while to get this all edited up.
So, without further delay, here it is.
In summary, it was a wet and rainy day, with highs into the low 40’s. I met Jeffersonian at the range for a little trigger time. It’d been a couple of months since I’d been able to shoot anything and I was in need of some recoil therapy. It was decided on the spur of the moment to record the podcast there. I had my netbook with me and he had his pocket video camera, so with those tools set up and running, we proceeded to make some noise.
My EAA Witness .45 ACP ate the Blazer Brass 230 gn loads without complaint, likewise Jeffersonian’s 185 gn truncated cone loads. The semi-wadcutters and home cast LRN loads however failed to run, causing the slide to lock up just before getting into battery.
I’ve included photos of what we’re talking about on the audio/video so you can see for yourself.

November Podcast
Troubling word comes via the news channels of the EPA classing CO2 as a pollutant. In addition, issuing a warning to congress if they don’t pass Cap and Trade, the EPA will take a “Command and Control” role in enforcing the Obama’s Global Warming agenda.
This is troubling for several reasons, including the specter of any government agency going rogue and acting as a law unto itself, without authorization from congress, bypassing the rule of law. Wait… Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a government agency doing this now?
From Fox News:
The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn’t move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a “command-and-control” role over the process in a way that could hurt business.
The warning, from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.
…
“If you don’t pass this legislation, then … the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area,” the official said. “And it is not going to be able to regulate on a market-based way, so it’s going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty.”
What’s next? A tax on every person in the United States for simply breathing? After all, humans (among many other life on Earth) exhale CO2.
Imagine for a moment that the ATF declared similar powers. What if the Department of Health and Human Services declared that firearms were a health hazard and acted without congressional approval to “protect” us? Far fetched you say? I don’t think so.
This should scare anyone who values their rights, let alone their pocket book.
More from the tolerant left.
A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.
Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the station reported.
The unidentified man may face charges for assaulting a police officer, according to the station.
Die-hard supporters treated the event like another Black Friday, lining up outside in freezing weather before the mall doors opened at 5 a.m.
