June 30th, 2008 · No Comments

June 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Friday Night Blues – Roy Buchanan – Wayfaring Pilgrim

June 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Roy Buchanan was a truly remarkable and gifted bluesman. I first saw Roy on a PBS special that was titled “The Best Unknown Guitarist In The World” in the early 1970′s and he blew me away, a true blues guitar virtuoso! Although Roy started off playing the lap steel guitar in the late 1940′s, his [...]

Supreme Court: Heller Affirmed

June 26th, 2008 · No Comments

By rochester_veteran Great news!!! The Supreme Court defined the Second Amendment as a guarantee of an individual’s right to own firearms in the District of Columbia vs. Heller case. The vote was close though, 5-4, with Breyer, Stevens, Souter and Ginsburg dissenting. Although the SCOTUS granted Constitutional rights to foreign terrorists, at least they’re leaving [...]

Race card up his sleeve

June 26th, 2008 · No Comments

The Consequences of Ignorance

June 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments
