This fish kill is a result of corporate greed and was caused by a nefarious alliance between Mrs. Smith's & Gorton's.

Where's Nurse Ratner?

Excellent. This is another hurdle crossed in regards to the reparations to Kuwait.

Although CFA does not release their sales figures I do know this for a fact. The CFA near my office typically does $6,000.00 in business on a Wednesday, their sales for this past Wednesday were over $22K.

+1 I dined at 2 different stores for all three meals on Wednesday. It was packed, everyone was courteous and patient, I waited for an hour for my food. When the manager announced that they were out of fries and milkshakes everyone cheered! That in and of itself is a testament to the people who came out to support CFA. I couldn't agree with you more about the tidal wave. And today the other side is planning their shinannigans at 8:00 pm. The truth of the matter is that there is not enough of them or their supporters to copy what the supporters of CFA did on Wednesday, and I hope we see that same turn out on election day.

To add to that.... before anyone wants to rebut with a freedom of speech issue. Corporate officers are typically bound by certain conditions in their contracts with their employer. Good for Vante for protecting it's interests.

The PM9 has a long trigger draw and subsequently I was shooting a few inches to the left of center. After about 50 rounds I had good groupings at about one inch from left of center. Granted, this is shooting in a non stress situation and the first time firing this weapon. I obviously need more range time and fortunately my neighbor has a nice area to shoot in where I can practice under "stress". I like to run a fast mile followed by about 20 eight count body builders and then fire the weapon. As far as your model Adam I do not know. When I researched PM9 online I didn't find a lot of negative reviews about it. FYI, I have small hands and if this pistol were any smaller I think I would have problems with it. The PM9 is truelly a CCW weapon, I purchased this one from a deputy sherriff that used it as his back up weapon.

Good points desimo. I'm actually looking at a cross draw holster as well. Fortunately I have an associate that works for a security firm in Iraq that I will be consulting with on gear, tactics, and training.

My pastor carries!

Great idea, I may just add a few internal pockets to a pair of shorts, that way I can carry an extra magazine(s).

Thanks for the answers guys. The holster is for me. My wife carries in her purse. I'm typically in shorts most of the time and where I live, only lawyers and preachers wear suits so a shoulder rig is out of the question.

Went to the range yesterday and shot my Kahr PM9 for the first time. I bought it for my wife as her primary CCW weapon. Action is smooth and the recoil is minimal. But I have a few questions for anyone here that may have experience with this handgun. 1. Any recommendations for modifying the grips? 2. Who has the best CCW holster for this model? I have searched all over the internet and have not had much success in finding a paddle holster that I like. I'm planning on buying a second PM9 for myself. Thanks

Ditto

and don't forget that this lout is still collecting his pay as well.

mmmmmmmmmm, yummy. Let's put our filthy feet next to our food while we eat.

Hopefully i will get to meet you someday Umbertino. I'll show you the good stuff in my country and you can return the favor!

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. But as a veteran and as a proud American I am tired of the left wing, and what I perceive is anti-American, garbage that is posted ad naseum here. It's one thing to take it from a fellow American, it's an entirely different thing coming from a foreign national. Call me thin skinned, that's fine.

It's safe to assume that the forensic report will not state "honor killing".

Italy Has Europe’s Highest Percentage of Children in Poverty, Says UNICEF Mar 4, 2012 12:00 AM EST Close to 2 million kids live in poverty in Europe's third-largest economy, according to a new UNICEF report. The country has the highest percentage of child poverty in all 25 European countries, a longstanding crisis that predates the nation’s current economic woes. Italy may conjure up postcard perfect images of beauty, art, and culture, but it is also a country in which nearly 2 million children are struggling to survive. AdChoices Every morning, hundreds of thousands of children in Italy’s poorest regions wake up hungry. Some have never used a computer because the schools can’t afford them in the classrooms. Many don’t go to school at all, or when they do they drop out, hoping to find scarce jobs. While their parents try to eke out a living, infants are left alone with young children as caregivers because of a lack of public day care. A growing number of children work as laborers on farms. Others are pushed into the sex trade to help support their families. Thousands live without basic amenities like hot water, regular meals, or simple health care—all in picturesque Italy. According to a report by UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) issued Feb. 28, Italy has the highest percentage of children living below the poverty line of 25 European nations, and the situation is only getting worse. “In Italy, there are 1.8 million children living under the poverty line,” says Giacomo Guerrera, head of UNICEF Italy. “We could make this problem go away if only it were a priority on every local community and government agenda.” This shouldn’t be happening in Italy, Europe’s third-largest economy. Sure, the country is in the midst of an epic financial crisis that saw it nearly default on its deficit late last year. The new interim government under technocrat Mario Monti has also been forced to tighten up the country’s budget. But that’s not the crux of the child poverty problem. After all, it’s hard to cut services that have never existed. In fact, childhood poverty was a problem in Italy long before the current economic debacle. The divide between Italy’s wealthy north and its suffering south has always been a point of contention for lawmakers in Rome. Italy allocates only 4.4 percent of its total social expenditures on social services for children, meaning only 1.1 percent of the total GDP goes to investing in services like public child care that would allow more parents to work. Private investments from businesses do fill the gap. But in most cases the “Mezzogiorno,” as the poorest regions of the deep south are known, is often overlooked because of the high rate of organized crime that has infiltrated both the public-works sector and local government entities. In recent years companies have received tax breaks for investing in the Mezzogiorno and defying the mob, but many of those companies are now closing factories and heading back north where their investments are safer during these tough economic times. Children in Italy Illustration by Daniele Butera / Getty Images These attempts to bolster the southern communities as a whole have been moderately successful through the years, though the efforts rarely trickle down to the region’s most vulnerable. Many of the country’s poorest children live in or near the very cities where recent government investments have greatly enhanced the lives of many others. But so many families in the Mezzogiorno live on the edge of the poverty divide that government aid and incentives are never enough to cover everyone. Urban renewal and government investments over the years have provided playgrounds, better schools, and safe sports facilities for communities that have been overlooked for decades. Public child care has also increased, but spots are first given to working parents, so the unemployed who are searching for work don’t qualify, creating a Catch 22 situation. In most cases, Italy’s very poorest children have fallen through the cracks, and as the country struggles through an economic crisis, there is no expectation that things will get better any time soon. Instead, an increasing number of families with children are joining the ranks of the extreme poor. What meager services are available will have to be spread even thinner. One in two minors in Italy lives in what is considered “absolute poverty.” According to UNICEF, that means families are able to provide only one adequate meal every two days and they often cannot provide necessary medical treatment. “In Italy, some 25 percent of children are now at risk of poverty,” Daniela Del Boca, director of CHILD (Center for Household, Income, Labor and Demographic Economies) at the University of Turin. “This proportion is much higher than the average proportion of children at risk of poverty in the rest of the European Union.” One in two minors in Italy lives in what is considered “absolute poverty,” a condition under which basic needs are not met. According to the UNICEF report, that means families are able to provide only one adequate meal every two days and they often cannot provide necessary medical treatment, either because they cannot access public-health services due to lack of funds for transportation, or they cannot buy simple over-the-counter medicines like aspirin or even Band-Aids for their children. Of the poorest of the poor, 42 percent live in Sicily, 32 percent in Campania, 31 percent in Basilicata, and the rest are spread around the wealthier northern regions, including 8.6 percent in the very wealthy Veneto region.

umbertino, It's obvious that you have run out of music videos to post. Now we are subjected to a litany of left leaning politcal BS. I especially enjoy the garbage that you send here about the USA. You have no idea about how things work here in the US as well as the Republic of South Africa. Do us all a favor and stop please. As a matter of fact we would all be better served if you sent us tourist information instead. Now in regards to this article. I speak for the experiences of my family. I am married to a South African. The conditions during Apartheid were horrendous. Conditions in the RSA are worse than during Apartheid. The media refuses and has failed to report the white genocide, the abject poverty, etc, etc. that occurs there. A visiting relative told me that it's pretty sad when an elderly black person told them that they felt safer under the rule of apartheid. I could go on and on. My recommendation is for you to read "Into the Cannibals Pot". Get a dose of reality, stop reading snippets of news and get the whole story. South Africa has to figure out it's own problems. The flight of their white citizens, and subsequent talent is a testimony to the ruling parties inability to lead.

The American ambassador to Kenya resigned last week. I wonder if this article has anything to do with that resignation?

Integrity and Honor are obviously in short supply in the middle east.

This is what happens when a people do not fight for their own freedom. It was our men and women that fought for and protected the Iraqi people throughout the years, including the summer months, all the while wearing body armor! Whiney clown a$$es they are.

Excellent post 40! If you hold a CCW Permit know your state laws, and and just like this guy, federal cases that you can site. Fortunately for this guy he had his phone and a law enforcement officer that knew better than to push the envelope.

It's cyclical. We get a couple of clowns on the site that show up to cause discontent every once in awhile. They are like ghost turds (those balls of fuzz that show up under your furniture), we don't know where they come from and they are useless. I doubt they are invested in IQD.
