And, to think, there are numbnuts in Costa Mesa who want our city to be more like Santa Ana. LINK

Oh, Boo Hoo, more illegals to be deported from CM. Perhaps, the City Council should give more of our money to the bleeding heart charity libs so they can tell the illegals that the bleeding heart libs are on their side and against the citizens of Costa Mesa who damn well don't want our city to be any more like Santa Ana, than it already is. How about it City Council?
Hey, Bever, Mansoor, Leece and Monahan, did you think we didn't see you agree with Foley and give some of our tax money to charities that are helping illegal aliens? Maybe you four should travel to Tijuana and weep with the illegals who are being deported.

TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF US...
North--Santa Ana, aka Chocolate City--Man shot in Ralph's parking lot in possible gang violence this morning. LINK
South--Newport Beach, aka Vanilla City--No one shot in any Ralph's parking lots again this morning.
Note: The shooting this morning in Santa Ana was at the Ralph's at Fairview and MacArthur. That's right on the border with Costa Mesa. We've been seeing more and more violence near this border.
If some of the libs in Costa Mesa have their way, Costa Mesa will be just like Santa Ana.

PROFESSOR WARNED ABOUT MENTAL STATE OF UCLA STUDENT WHO SLASHED GIRL'S NECK
LINK
We link to this story because it gives a pretty good example of how a person with paranoid delusions, and perhaps with a touch of schizophrenia, looks at others. In such a person's mind, others are always to blame for the person's inadequacies. Such a person becomes obsessed with others or sometimes with just one other.
Here's an email that the slasher sent to one of his professors."I believe I heard you, Professor Frank, say that I was 'troubled' and 'crazy' among other things. My outrage at this situation coupled with the pressure of the very weighted examination dulled my concentration and detracted from my performance."
You'll note there's nothing wildly crazy about the slasher's email. But, notice how the slasher imagines (?) he heard the professor say something and how he blames the professor for his poor performance on an examination. There's the giveaway.
We have someone here locally who writes similar (but even nuttier) things and who has sent similar emails to Improvers. This local is a life long failure who blames everything on others. Someone needs to tell this creep that it's not their fault he was born ugly, stupid and impotent.
The sad thing is that some in the local press actually give this nutcake a platform and can't see the signs that he's looney tunes even though an average Psych 101 student should be able to see he has a problem given his all consuming obsession.

ARE OUR WEAPONS FAILING OUR TROOPS?
Front line troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are complaining that at critical moments their carbines and machine guns jam.LINK
This isn't a new problem. When I
was in the Marines we used to have the same problem. Our .50 
Caliber machine guns on our tank turrets were always cranky and our .30 caliber machine guns were also a little sensitive. Even when we fired in short bursts, the barrels would get too hot and cause problems.
Part of the problem with what we're giving the troops now is that while the carbines, especially, are very accurate when they're completely cleaned and used on rifle ranges under perfect conditions, combat conditions are not often perfect. One of the reasons these carbines are accurate is because the tolerances are very tight. Tight tolerances mean they have to be very clean to function right.
In combat you can't always keep them as clean as needed.
In the Marines, one of our favorite machine guns was the M3 Grease Gun. Ours were made by the Lionel toy train company, but other firms also produced them. The metal they were made out of was about the same quality of pot metal that you'll find on caulking guns. See photos above.
The Grease Guns looked and felt like toys. If you didn't know anything about guns and you were given the choice of taking a Daisy BB Gun or an M3 Grease Gun into combat, you'd probably opt for the Daisy since it looks and feels more like a real gun and seems to have more quality to it. Of course, you'd be mistaken if you did take the Daisy.
The Grease Gun used the same .45 ammo that we used in our sidearms, so we didn't have to carry too many different types of ammo with us.
The important thing about the Grease Gun was that it almost never jammed. You could bury it in mud or drop it in water and it'd still fire. Of course, what you gave up was accuracy. Still, I think the front line troops, unless they're snipers, wouldn't mind something like the Grease Gun when there are dozens of Taliban right in front of them trying to kill them.
