  1.   No, he isn't and why should he be when Eric Holder holds all the cards. 
  2.   You only missed it by several decades. 
  3. Port Arthur went through that a few years ago. Interestingly, I think the then city manager was an assistant city manager in Detroit when PA hired him. He allowed people not to pay the bills and when he was finally pushed out the door, there was over a million dollars in unpaid water bills. The new city manager came in and started shutting off the taps and all of a sudden the bills started being paid. 
  4. Like the other thread, a "favorite" weapon or an all around like you can only have one the rest of your life and it has to be sufficient for all needs?   All around would have to be some kind of semi-auto with a mid performance round with readily accessible ammo that doesn't break the bank. AN AR or other type of platform with any number of calibers might fit that. It can be very accurate out to several hundred yards and can fit almost any role.    A single favorite for a specific purpose and some what all around hunting cartridge, the 22-250 might be the best. It certainly isn't cheap and not always as easy to come by but the performance can be great. The .22 caliber weapons are often overlooked or criticized by many people as too small but with the correct bullet, they are awesome for big game out to long ranges. The longest shot that I killed a whitetail (only 118 yards) with was a 62 grain .223 and he made it about three steps and the .223 is the same bullet with a little less oomph than the 22-250. The Ruger is a quality gun and has its following. I don't like single shot rifles but I am not sure why. I have never had the need for a follow up shot on a single animal but for a pack of pigs.................... 
  5.     When Chevrolet (or anyone else) matches Hyundai's warranty, I will consider one. I have had my last Hyundai for over 8 years and it will probably go out of warranty next month, four and a half years after I paid it off.     I hate to have a five year note on a car and half way through it, the car starts falling apart and in addition to my monthly car note, I have to pay to get it fixed or leave it in the driveway rusting while I continue to pay the notes. 
  6. But your criteria was "one gun". Like I said, for a specialty (hunting, target practice, competition, concealed carry only, etc.), there are plenty of options.    If I was stuck with one gun, it would be one that could fill several functions. 
  7.   Only the president can approve a budget. The Congress cannot sign their own laws.    Try reading up on the Constitution.... again.

    Bam!!

      It is a matter of following the rules or believing that you are not required to comply with the same laws. He could have simply waited until they were truly out of session but like he has done and continues to do, he makes up his own rules as he goes. He got caught this time and when the SCOTUS comes down with a 9-0 ruling, that is a pretty good affirmation that the other side is wrong. 
  9. If there was a single, catch-all handgun, it would have to be something like a Glock 23 or 19.    It is small enough to conceal but not tiny. In the .40S&W (23) it holds 13 rounds in the magazine which is a lot for a compact handgun and in the 9mm (19) holds 15 rounds.    Glock is simply the easiest to shoot and best over the counter combat handgun on the market. There are plenty of guns to choose from for specialties but for an all around, there almost is no comparison. 
  10. Truck: Ford (Because Hyundai isn't an option..... yet)   SUV: Hyundai   Car: Hyundai light (KIA). 
  11. ........... in fact he may quit showing up and just start burning earned sick, comp and vacation time. 
  12.   It buys time. In any government job, if you are in the hot seat and your employment status is basically day to day, you can announce your resignation for some time in the future and usually be left alone. You get a few more months pay and benefits, time to look for new employment, etc.    Many times the governing body will not go through the hassle of firing someone that will be gone in a few weeks anyway. If a guy like Chag does not announce, he could be terminated at any moment. If he announces his resignation like he did today for four months in advance, he will usually be left alone. Time will tell if that happens in this case but it is not unusual.

    Bam!!

    The opinion was written by that well known ultra conservative Stephen Breyer who was a Bill Clinton appointment.

    Bam!!

      I always get my information of SCOTUS decision straight from their website. I don't care what Fox, CNN, MSNBC or anyone says about it. You might try it some time or do you normally get your news that is completely wrong like in this case?   [Hidden Content]

    Bam!!

        Like always, wrong again. It was 9-0.

    Bam!!

    What, a weekend break is not considered Congress being out of session? Heck, maybe if they recessed for the night he could simply make his appointments at 2:00am and call it good.

    Bam!!

    .....and wasn't the vote 9-0?
  18. Tell her to go to Gerard's over by Ozen if she wants some real links.
  19.   Yep, the same sinking ship that took away the House the second year of Obama's first term. The same sinking ship that they hope doesn't take away the Senate also as they are convinced that they will lose seats.   Not bad for that ship that is going down.    Mostly you have Dems trying to convince themselves that they can't possibly take a beating for the third straight election. 
  20. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CODE   TITLE 4. REGULATORY AND PENAL PROVISIONS   CHAPTER 106. PROVISIONS RELATING TO AGE   Sec. 106.01. DEFINITION. In this code, "minor" means a person under 21 years of age.
  21.   He is a minor.   There are all kinds of definitions of juvenile, child and minor in the laws and they do not always coincide. For age restrictions on alcohol, under 21 is  a minor.   Other examples are that for any criminal act, you are an adult at 17. For injury a "child", the child mean someone less than means a person 14 or under. So in that case (being beaten up), an adult starts at 15. For buying a handgun from a dealer it is 21. For allowing a child to have access to a readily dischargeable weapon, it is 17.    With no more a three year difference of age, you can have sex with consent at 14. 
  22.     I got a phone message a couple of months ago for your reference but when I called her the next day, she said that she had enough information to make a decision. She wasn't volunteering if it was good or bad and I wasn't about to ask.  :D
  23. So the other job came through?
  24. High alcohol concentration would not be a B misdemeanor.
