POPS85-Year-Old Granny Pulls Gun On Intruder, Makes Him Call 911 Good for you Granny! :lol: She grabbed a .22-caliber revolver that she said she began keeping by her bed when a neighbor's home was burglarized recently. "I motioned with the gun -- 'Come on' -- and he went ahead of me in the hallway to the living room, and we got by the telephone and I said, 'Call the cops,' and he picked it up and he dialed 911," said Smith. Smith was able to hold the teenager at bay until the state troopers arrived. "I put him on the floor," Smith said. "I said, 'Lay down on the floor, turn your head that way, spread-eagle your arms and your legs.' That's what they told me to do, and I did it." The suspect will be charged as a juvenile with attempted burglary and related offenses, police said. His name was not released because of his age.

POPSOutlaw Josey Wales: "Road Agent's Spin" The " road agent's spin " is the famous move Clint does with his pistols at 4:00 minutes into this clip. My dad taught me how to do this move on an old black-powder revolver. Clint is much smoother than I ever got. It's often mislabeled the "border shift" which is a different maneuver involving tossing your empty gun from your firing hand to your off hand, while simultaneously tossing a loaded gun from your off hand to your shooting hand. "Road agent" is the American western term for what the English would call a "Highwayman", i.e. a horse-mounted bandit. Interesting fact: In Britain, a Highwayman was considered a higher class of criminal than a mere "footpad", because at least the highwayman could afford to keep a horse. Better to be robbed by the poor and aristocratic, rather than the merely poor.

POPS'Lethal Warriors' in Iraq, linked to string of crimes back home
The Army was quick to downplay any link between what he and the other soldiers saw in Iraq and the allegations against them. "Anybody that does crimes of that nature, it goes deeper and farther back than anything in the U.S. Army," said Lt. Col. Brian Pearl, the 2-12's commanding officer. "Nothing here has trained them to do what they are charged with." Yet there is a larger story of those who fought with the 700-soldier unit: a string of alleged robberies, domestic violence and senseless murder. Six of the veterans are behind bars, implicated in four separate shooting incidents and five slayings since August 2007. The killings stretch from Colorado to an Orange County beach town, where a veteran of the company is accused of beating his girlfriend to death. In October, a soldier who served in Iraq with another Ft. Carson unit was charged with slitting a woman's throat and leaving her to die in the foothills near Colorado Springs, prompting U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.) t

POPSSeeing the Invisible Schlieren photography, which “takes an invisible phenomenon and turns it into a visible picture”... Schlieren is German for “streaks”; in this case it refers to regions of different densities in a gas or a liquid, which can be photographed as shadows using a special technique. Beautiful...

POPSLavena Johnson: murdered by her fellow soldiers, covered up by the army The take home lesson is that people will pay more attention to the cover-up of the killing of a white, male football star by his fellow soldiers more than they will a black, female soldier who gets raped, killed, and mutilaed by her fellow soldiers. This is is bad shit. We're talking <i>Titus Andronicus</i> bad. And the Army calls it a suicide. America, FUCK YEAH!

POPSSlash & Sebastian Bach's top-secret project Weiland was thrown out of Velvet Revolver in April, with the band citing his "increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems." Weiland responded by saying that Bach would be a "fantastic" substitute.

POPSA Must See Video - Ellsberg vs Kristol I came across this video while viewing my email, today. It is startling and that is putting it mildly. I don't know how William Kristol can go about his daily existence without shame. Many words come to mind when I think about this man... delusional, hallucinatory, mad, psychoneurotic, schizoid,schizophrenic. Whatever disorder best describes him; there is no doubt William Kristol is suffering from some sort of frontal lobe damage. What makes this so alarming and quite tragic, is the fact that he was allowed major input, if not the main collaborator, in one of America's worst disasters, The Iraq War. Only he, could come up with the think-tank PNAC. Go To http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com to View Video
