The Black Conservative

Glenn Beck had a good show on Friday 13th last week about and for Black Conservatives in America called "Time to be Heard".  He dedicated the entire show to this group, who many people think do not exist.  Maybe thats why he aired it on Friday the 13th.

I just caught a few minutes of the show before I had to leave so I found it and posting it here for future reference.  One of the discusions I heard was how liberal politicians enact policies to keep poor blacks in poverty by handing out welfare so they will continue to vote for them.  The problem is that this welfare is barley enough to live on but not enough to help people move up in life.

Clasic Men's Wear from Land's End

I grew up in a house where the Land's End catalog was a staple in the seasonal mailbox.  I always though of it as a kind of generic catalog though with a few good things thrown in that were always at a good price.  But never really ordered anything from it.  Now, they have a new line called Canvas 1963 with a lot of worn and vintage looking pieces along the lines of the current resurgence in Americana.  I might have to order a few things now.

The Real Gitmo

Steven Crowder visited Guantanamo Bay Prison and talked to the members of our great military who are charged with the security there.  He said the biggest problem they have is keeping Cuban citizens OUT of the prison.

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Guardian: Pretentious Moi? — Suffering With ‘Actor-Speak’

This is a very funny article about the "non-skill" of "acting". It really mirrors what I have been thinking and saying recently. I am a big fan of movies in general, but I can't stand it when they act like acting is something more than it is.

FTA: “And, lo, they kept a-coming: there was “our craft” and “the journey one goes on”. To finish, actor Christine Baranski announced that “acting is like creating life”. Considering this comment came straight after the clip showing her in the sitcom Cybill, that seemed a pretty awesome claim. Shrieking onset at Cybill Shepherd v being God –I guess it’s six of one, half-dozen of the other. …"

I do have respect for actors and  some are definetly better than others. There has been a place for actors in human societies for thousands of years, just don't pretend like its a skill.  I recomend reading the entire article.

I think I just found my drinking list for the winter.

Military Surplus

I could look at sites like this all day.
ArmyNavyDeals.com is great.
Any place where I can buy, with just a few clicks; a machete, a gas mask, a parachute, a grenade, camping gear, and a canteen so I don't get thirsty while parachuting with a machete and wearing a gas mask; has got my approval.

Big Hollywood, Jews and Guns

This article discusses how the Jewish faith views guns, gun ownership and self defense and how these rights have been taken away by power hungry people and groups throughout Jewish history.
A few months ago the author wrote his first-hand account of being in LA during the rodney king riots. A strong line from the story is when they are trapped in a theater and people keep saying that the police will be there any minute, of course they don't come because they are overwhelmed. That story is linked within this article and should be read if someone has not seen it.

Friday and Fall

Valet is a good men's blog I read sometimes.  As with most fasion blogs and mags in general just because they say something is a trend or looks good doesn't mean it is or does.  That being said, here is some of the better essentials for fall they have featured recently:

Beard Face Wash for "No Shave November"

Plus it has a Skull......sold.

Happy Friday!.... and Work....FU till Monday!

Old Suits and Shirts?

I have some old suits I inherited that are waaay too big for me, some old shirts that have good plaid still but I will never wear again and some old blankets that are too dingy or worn to use anymore.  I was going to get rid of all these things until I came across these pictures of pillows made from various plaid material.  The site that listed them was selling them for $140 each.  Now Im going to have some $140 pillows for cheap, as long as I can find someone who knows who to sew.

I have been watching their website for months for this boot and they are finally coming out this month! A great boot company making a great vintage style WWII combat boot that is good enough to wear anywhere. Its good to see more and more companies going into their history to remake the classics.

Preserving Freedom and Federalism: What's at Stake for Americans in the Health Care Debate

"Abstract: "Federalism" is no outdated concept. The founding fathers of the American Republic are the authors of a brilliant design of the distribution of political power between the national government and the states. Under the Constitution, the federal government is responsible for the general concerns of the republic; the state governments are the custodians of the people's trusts and are authorized to address their particular concerns. This is the essence of federalism -- and precisely what is under attack in the massive health care bills currently under consideration in Congress. Former U.S. Representative from Florida Thomas C. Feeney explains what is at stake for every American."

Hunting Slide Show at Men.Style.com?

Im not sure whats going on at GQ. Either, someone is getting fired for letting this slip through the cracks, or they are starting to wake up to what normal red-blooded Americans like to do.

Guns? Hunging clothes? Hunting trips? I have to give them credit though, they actually found some good, useful peices. Not too sure about the $600 gun case though.

The (New) Conservative Agenda: GQ Features on men.style.com

Stumbled upon a good feature on GQ's blog about two things that interest me, men's fashion and politics.
There are some great looking suits in the slide show, now I just need to win the lottery so I can buy them. The Glen Plaid is my favorite, might have to find a cheaper version of that one.
