Mike,
You and David are confirmed - as you have been for prior years. Sorry for the delayed response.

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." -- Proverbs 22:6, King James Version
Liberal Parents, Radical Children.
Reuben Houston Burrow (December 11, 1854 - October 9, 1890), better known as Rube Burrow, was a nationally infamous train-robber and outlaw in the Southern and Southwestern United States. During the final years of the American frontier, he became one of the most hunted in the Old West since Jesse James. From 1886 to 1890, he and his gang robbed express trains in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, the Indian Territory and Texas while pursued by hundreds of lawmen throughout the southern half of the United States, including the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. -- Wikipedia citation for Rube Burrow.
I'd like to report on some old business from the Birmingham AGCA show. As I was making my way down the aisles, my attention was grabbed by a small table hawking the wares of a local start-up cast bullet company. Now naming a bullet company after an infamous Alabama train robber was, to say the least, unique. Being a bit of an historian, I knew who Rube Burrow was and it was the memory of the train robber which caused me to stop, ask questions, and to pick up a box of 240 grain pills for the .44 Special/.44 Magnum loading scheduled for later this year. (Yeah, I know, I could have cast them myself and intended to, but I find that lately my time is claimed by other more pressing agenda items.)
I asked one of my reloading buddies who has much more experience than I at pistol shooting and cartridge reloading to give them a look. Here is his report:
They look good. The edges are crisp and sharp and the alloy is clean.I don’t have a hardness tester so I sacrificed one to science by dropping it on an edge from waist height to the concrete floor. It deformed about like a boolit cast from wheel weights does in the same test so that puts the hardness just about perfect.I checked three with calipers and they all measured right at .432 and were very concentric (no out of round). The minimum for cast .44 is .430 and the extra .002 will give superior boolit to bore fit and ensure no leading.I think they will perform well.
The Rube Burrows (no, I don't know how the "s" snuck in there) Bullet Co. is so new they don't have a website yet, but they can be contacted at the email address, cburr3@yahoo.com.
Our Culture, What’s Left Of It
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” -- - Theodore Dalrymple via Frontpage
Inside the Israeli Navy's Secret Subs
Israel's Doomsday Submarines Nearly Ready
Right now (August 2014), three Dolphin II-class submarines are under construction at Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems shipyards in Kiel. Once the submarines complete their trials and head towards the Mediterranean, they will become the most powerful Israeli submarines ever. More than 225 feet long, the diesel-electric Dolphin II class is part attack submarine, part nuclear strike ship and part commando taxi.

Despite duplicitous “progressives” like Democrat State Senator John Kefalas of Fort Collins trying to put a happy face on Colorado’s most recent anti-gun edicts by making contradicted-by-reality claims that they have been “useful and effective in denying people who shouldn't have firearms,” the laws are demonstrably unenforceable failures. . .
A fundamental truth more and more gun owners are awakening to is that just as arms can discourage individual aggressors, so too does that principle work at a societal level. As long as that holds true, it means the Second Amendment is working as a deterrent. And while the need has never been greater for gun owners to involve themselves in doing what they can to use civil means to restore freedom, through elections, through educating their countrymen, through lawsuits and the like, one inescapable conclusion is becoming increasingly evident: The Founders were visionary in recognizing the necessity of an armed citizenry for the security of a free State in times when choices are reduced to surrender or resist.
But when asked if he was suggesting blacks pack weapons the reverend insisted he was being misquoted saying, "Listen, listen I didn't say that. I said the Second Amendment right? I didn't say pack weapons, I said Second Amendment. Please don't put words in my mouth, please don't do that... Do you have to carry a weapon to avail yourself of the Second Amendment the answer is no, you don't have to okay?"
So, when confronted by a violent pack of two-legged animals, whether they wear hoodies or white sheets, just whip out that pocket Constitution and have at it.
