Okay. Things have quieted down somewhat; at least to a dull roar. Some random thoughts to get through the rest of the afternoon, then I'm off on a four-day weekend. Tomorrow's off to get ready for the Cub Scout Overnight on Saturday/Sunday, then I'm taking Monday off as a "Mental Health" day (plus I'm burning vacation time before the end of the year). Needless to say, I'm going to the range. The way things are shaping, it will entail large-caliber handgun goodness...
In no particular order, then...
*As much as I'd like to agree with my right-leaning brethren around the blogosphere, I don't see McCain pulling a "USA defeats Russia for the gold" victory on Tuesday. He's being out-spent like 50:1 (with, of course, no comment whatsoever by the media on Obama's "pledge" to take public funding, natch), he's got the media actively working against him, and he's running out of time in key states. I certainly hope I'm wrong, mind you, but I don't hold out a lot of hope come Wednesday morning November 5th.
*I've changed my mind on Question 3 on the MA Ballot initiatives and will be voting No thanks in large part to the excellent comments received on my post. I plead guilty to a moment of emotional weakness, and promise to heed that inner voice that asks "What path yields more freedom?" going forward.
*Firming up plans to shore up the ol' G armory before the end of the year; there is definitely an AR-15 variant in the works as well as another AK-47 semi-auto clone. The AR-15 variant I'm gonna need some suggestions for; the local gun shop has a DPMS Panther Arms AP4 Carbine for under $900, that's looking like a strong contender. The AK clone is going to be pretty much whatever I can lay my grubby mitts on when I get my year-end bonus. If there's any money left over, I'll order an AR-15 lower and an M1 Carbine from OCDMP.
*An early reminder that National Ammo Day is coming up in a few weeks.
*Heh. One of my upcoming posts is going to detail Obama's campaign promises so we can all watch him deliver them to us with the help of the Democratically controlled House and Senate. I'm certain that a single-party government will easily enact all the pretty plans and dramatic dreams of the chief executive. Isn't that right, Governor Patrick?
That is all.

Thanks for the reminder on Nat'l Ammo Day. That'll be a good excuse to go buy some food for the PTR-91 coming my way. ;-)
Make no mistake about it. Obama will not keep all of his promises if he wins just like McCain will not keep all of his if he wins.
Politics is politics.
We have no idea how Obama will govern. No idea at all. But I have seen him in two campaigns and he kicks some serious ass.
And it is not as if either guy will be following a tough act. Bush the son has been the most feckless fucker to ever hold that office.
May the best man win and good god damn riddance to Bush and the horses that rode in with him.
I like the DPMS products.
Bought my first one on 9/13/04 and paid *dearly* for it. Shot it in the NRA HiPower course, quite competitively, for years out to 600yds.
Just bought my most recent DMPS lower on 9/13/08... building up a 9mm pistol for a little variety.
Maybe this year Kim should move Ammo Day ahead a week??? You know, so we can bug in for the riots.
But one has to wonder if it really is a Russia vs US. The closer it gets to election day, the closer the polls tie em in together.

Excellent point. Turn out will tell the tale. What gives me (a bit of) heart is that the Left is already gearing up the excuse machine. There have been the stories of lingering racism in the electorate, and my local "alternative newsweekly" already has had a column accusing the Republicans of stealing the election.
So who knows? I still think Obama will win, but I had my doubts about a Bush win in '04 too.
I think ACORN is going to be the Republican excuse if the election does not go their way.
Diebold for the left, ACORN for the right.
All God's chillun' got excuses.
Just to nitpick, if you're referring to the "Miracle on Ice", the US beat Russia in the semi-finals, and then Sweden in the finals for the gold.
Just sayin'
*grin*
And, I need to nitpick my nitpick.
From Wikipedia:
The U.S went on to win the gold medal by beating Finland (4–2) in the gold medal game. The Soviet Union took the silver by beating Sweden in their final game. Sweden received the bronze medal, and Finland finished fourth.
*is ashamed*
"Bush the son has been the most feckless fucker to ever hold that office."
Buck, I betcha 5 bucks you are to young to remember Jimmah Carter......
....I wonder if BO's minions in the press will blame "Stagflation", too..... when really it is just a decision by successful folks to stay home rather than work hard and invest so the gubmint can rob them of most of the money they make....
Promises? Bwahahahahaha.
The One is already making plans:
