Most people would be surprised to know that, in general, it is NOT illegal to fabricate a firearm on your own. There are applicable regulations, such as it must be kept by you forever, cannot be sold or traded, and I believe it may be required to hav

I have the solution. Stop ALL tax exempt status. Yep, all of it! Churches, PACs, 401 what-evers. Look at the IRS code and Obamacare, with all the rules and set asides generated by lobbies and special interest groups. Kalamazoo is landlocked. No mo

I caught the beginning of the 700 Club this morning, with a grinning Pat R. with a tight close-up, saying that the IRS is NOT your friend. He is evil. I used to work for his television stations.

I cannot help but be struck by the irony of me using something as high tech as the internet to grouse about wishing things were "older". Perhaps if I was moved back in time to where I was writing these thoughts with a quill pen, I would wis

My '02 Subaru, with 280,000km on it is getting struts replaced 'round now. They're OEM's. It's been in Atlantic Canada it's whole life. I'd be disappointed if any strut didn't get to at least 150,000km (100,000 miles) of "normal" Canadia

It's the snow removal "salt" in your area that's the biggest contributor to your problem, coupled with the dirt associated with under the vehicle. As suggested, get a lock that's made for such conditions, and be sure to exercise and lube i
