Sweat like a pig? Now you can smell like one too: literally.

A Seattle company has introduced bacon deodorant, Power Bacon, which goes on sale today in a handy deodorant stick. Try not to sweat too much while you’re wearing it though, or you’ll be covered in unappetizing bacon grease.

In a world filled with bacon-flavored beer, bacon-wrapped cars and bacon bandages, it would be an understatement to say we’re obsessed with the cured pork product. One 105-year-old Texan even credited it for her longevity earlier this year, telling a reporter, “I love bacon. I eat it everyday.”   Continue reading “How to Stay Single Forever: Wear This New Bacon-Scented Deodorant”

Now – not after the tar sands spigot is turned on – is the time to support the efforts of courageous Texas landowners who could stop Keystone XL’s administration-approved southern leg in its tracks.

Twenty-five environmental leaders recently signed on to an open letter to President Obama urging him to avoid any “deal-making” with the Canadian government and to reject a presidential permit for Keystone XL’s proposed northern leg. As the letter remarked: “Building Keystone XL will expand production in the tar sands, and that reality is not compatible with serious efforts to battle climate change.”   Continue reading “Obama Must Be Called Out, Not Coddled, on Keystone XL Bait-and-Switch”

A Texas farmer has won an entry of default against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which failed to respond to a federal lawsuit claiming it illegally granted environmental permits to TransCanada Corp. (TRP)’s Keystone XL pipeline.

Michael Bishop, a farmer in Douglass, about 150 miles northeast of Houston, said he will ask U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Giblin, in Lufkin, Texas, to invalidate the pipeline’s permits and order the Army Corps to conduct public hearings that it skipped before issuing water-crossing permits to Keystone, which will transport Canadian tar-sands crude to refineries on the Texas Gulf coast.   Continue reading “Texas Farmer Wins Entry of Default in Keystone Lawsuit”

Charlotte, NC –-(Ammoland.com)- On November 6, 2013, the California Court of Appeals for the 5th District affirmed the lower court’s issuance of a permanent injunction in the NRA/CRPA backed legal challenge to Assembly Bill (AB) 962, Parker v. California.  

AB 962 would have banned mail order ammunition sales and required all purchases of so-called “handgun ammunition” to be registered.   The court’s 41 page published opinion confirms that AB 962 is unconstitutionally vague and cannot be enforced.   Continue reading “California Court of Appeals Confirms Ruling Striking Down Ammunition Sales Restrictions”

Toronto’s Rob Ford is not the first to hit the crack cocaine. And Auckland’s married mayor Len Brown, who has just been re-elected despite revelations of a two-year affair, detailed in excruciating pornographic detail, is no trailblazer.   Continue reading “Crack, affairs, appropriation of funds: all in a day’s work for a mayor”

It seems like there’s one thing you can’t do if you’re the editor of Guns & Ammo magazine: run a column endorsing gun control.

That’s what Jim Bequette found out this week. On Thursday, he announced that he was resigning immediately from the helm of the gun-friendly title after readers revolted over an article by contributing editor Dick Metcalf which ran in the magazine’s latest issue.   Continue reading “Guns & Ammo Editor Gets Run Out Of Town For Printing Gun Control Column”

Mayor Bloomberg’s most-trusted NYPD bodyguards will hit the jackpot when he leaves office next year — retiring with cushy pensions and starting new, high-paying jobs for the billionaire media mogul.

A law-enforcement source told The Post that Bloomberg is taking key members of his security detail into the private sector to ensure they don’t spill any secrets about his private life.   Continue reading “Bloomberg giving NYPD bodyguards jobs to ‘keep their mouths shut’”

WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/AP) —Nutritionists call them one of the worst fats and a leading contributor to heart attacks.

Now, the Food and Drug Administration is taking steps to ban trans fats.

In 2006, New York City issued a first-of-its-kind rule restricting artificial trans fat in restaurants, forcing them to alter recipes so that foods contained no more than 0.5 grams per serving. The change affected customers beyond New York as big chains like McDonald’s wound up cutting the fat system-wide.   Continue reading “FDA To Ban Artery-Clogging Trans Fats”

We’re not making fun of their passing,  but of the ignorance of the voter!

In a story that’s gathering some national attention, not one but TWO dead candidates are winning races in Western Washington!

in Des Moines, a candidate for King County Water District #54 is leading two other contenders by nearly a 3-1 margin!  The only problem, the 63-year-old political veteran died in August, and King County officials said they didn’t have time to remove him from the ballot!   So far less than 500 votes have been cast in what officials say is a low-level race.  John Rosentangle has 318 of the votes in early counting, his next challenger 129!   Continue reading “Dead Men Don’t Tell Tales, But They DO Win Elections in Western Washington!”

DENVER — The biggest loser in this year’s Colorado election cycle may have been New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Colorado voters kicked the mayor to the curb again at the ballot box Tuesday, rejecting a proposed statewide income-tax hike heavily financed by Mr. Bloomberg just two months after ushering out two Democratic state senators who backed his gun-control agenda.   Continue reading “Colorado voters slap down Bloomberg-backed tax hike”

Today’s election coverage in the Seattle Times and Seattle P-I.com is more revealing about local and national politics than one might suspect, unless one happens to be in the firearms community where “grand delusions” give way to matter-of-fact reality.

Both news organs report anti-gun Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn trailing anti-gun Sen. Ed Murray by aconsiderable margin, yet declining to concede. Delusion has been part of McGinn’s problem for the past four years, particularly when it comes to firearms and their owners. He pursued a reckless–at-best attempt to dance around state preemption and lost big time to the Second Amendment Foundation, National Rifle Association and their allies. In the process, he did exactly the opposite of what he intended: He set the legal stage for state preemption to be strengthened.   Continue reading “Does ‘grand delusion’ define the 2013 election, aftermath?”
