This might be a big news flash to many political junkies, but most of the assholes at the top (federal level) started at the local level (city, county, then state).   To paraphrase the tree-huggers with whom I have no particular problem.... "Think nationally, act locally"   BTW, Dems are not the only snakes in local politics.  The shenanigans of these East Tennessee republicans will make your blood boil.  ;)

  And who changes those federal election laws OhShoot?  ;)

There will be a new president before Corker is up for re-election.  I believe he's in until 2018.   Thank you republicans of Tennessee.

The extent of my leeway given to the Two Tools from Tennessee is that they only voted YES to end debate and allow the bill to proceed to a final vote, just like all the other R's mentioned.   The final vote was 54-44 with the TTT twins voting against.  The two missing votes are from Republicans.  Guess they can now say they had nothing to do with any of it.  http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00209   Same silly, stupid crap those two pulled on the last gun control bill earlier this year.

It may be a time honored perk, I don't particularly have a problem with that, but it harkens back to the day when congress-types were not multi-millionaires. Now it is just disgusting.   That's one widow's pension that is beyond absurd.

    Pull the emergency brake and spin the steering wheel.  Turn right around from where you where going.   That is the best course of action.

I believe what 10-Ring has is Virginia Creeper.   Erik, pulling up 'sang at BSF I'm pretty sure is a Federal offense. 

They're both crazy as a shithouse rat.

  That's a tricky one as they seceded from Virginia (C.S.A) to rejoin the union.

Never heard of them.   Looks like they are trying to get into the barrel making business and promise those who contribute riduculously low-priced barrels, when they start producing them.  Their website shows they already make uppers/80%lowers.   It's a gamble for sure.

  Not bad.  Aim has them for $399.95 shipped.....http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XEOT512&name=EOTech+512+Holographic+Weapon+Sight&groupid=84

If you mean the cocking head Numrich has one....   http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Remington-33454/Rifles-37895/41-39499.htm

  I don't know about all that but I will attest to the fact that in 2009 that box of ammo was no more than  $14.97

I'm goiong to wake up in the morning and:   1)  Obamacare will be fully funded 2)  The governement will remain open 3)  The debt ceiling will be raised, and 4)  Some god-awful amendment will be tacked on and approved.   And there's doodly-squat anyone can do about it.

Awesome planes and I do believe the mothballing has been years in the works.

  I knew the first time I heard the term "homeland" after 9/11 it was all over.

I predict the finale is going to be horribly disappointing.

Take it to the UPS hub on Callahan Dr @ I-75. You'll have to ship it next day air.

They have to log the firearm into their books which doesn't take more that a few minutes but some dealers will make you wait a while until they get around to it.

I'm thinking the "Made in USA" is correct for this specimen based on some Googling around.  The Standard Catalog may not be entirely accurate in it's description Dave.

DaveTN is right on the serial number range.  It is a K frame, not N.  The 1945-1948 range is S811120-S999999.  I'd call it 1946.

Definitely a pre-model 10 postwar manufactured M&P.  The frame could be actual war-time production, thus the Made in USA instead of 4 line Marcas Registradas.  They made many of these during the war for military use and had a lot of frames left over at the end.

I have heard other companies are starting to do this as well, especially after the storms a couple of years ago.  They shelled out untold millions for new roofs.  Have not heard from my provider yet, so I don't know what their policy is.   Personally, I think it's a crock.  With auto insurance you are paid the replacement cost of your vehicle, so if they have to replace a 5 year old car it is assumed you can find the same make, model and year as that value.   You can't go out and find a used roof to throw up on your house.  Say you're 12 years into some 25 year shingles and disaster strikes.  Now you're going to get only 50% of the replacement cost of new materials, and you HAVE to get a new roof, an expediture you had not planned on for another 12 or 13 years.  It's a rip, IHMO.

You caught me in the middle of thinking, Mav. You quoted while I edited. ;)

Another reason people need to start paying attention when they're driving around here so they don't cause a "wreak" and subsequent explosion.
