So earlier this year, I came across a great deal, two late '60's Winchester model 94 30-30's, one was in decent shape and had an octagon barrel (unfortunately not the collectable one) and the other a total rust bucket I was just going to use for a wall piece. Paid $50 each for them, great deal! I got thinking last night that I should just do something crazy with the rust bucket it since it will never be a valuable rifle so I stripped the old blue off and started working on the pitted rust and it came to me....

| Imagine a scenario in which the media outlet most afflicted with Barack Obama Sycophancy Syndrome (BOSS) the place Chris thrill up my leg Matthews calls home presented a smoking gun that could implicate the Obama White House in a cover-up akin to that of Watergate but with the added scarlet letter of murder.

It looks like that honor may just go to none other than Michael Isikoff who, in September of 2010, wrote about an... |

Darrell Issa, California Republican and House Oversight Committee chairman, released on Wednesday show high-ranking Justice Department officials were aware of Operation Fast and Furious and that there was a consistent administration policy that allowed American guns to be walked into Mexican drug cartels possession. One of the documents shows Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer approved a wiretap application for suspects Operation Fast and Furious targeted in March 2010. The wiretap application process is lengthy and cumbersome, and often requires those applying to make strong case as to why they need it. So, Breuer would have... |
