Please Lord, make this one a good one… I’m tired of little gimlet eyed, squinch-faced pricks mumbling at me from the Oval Office. I don’t care to entertain more voodoo economic models with clever names like “supply-side” or “Haliburton.” I don’t care whether he’s a democrat or a republican, what color he is, whether he [...]

It’s safe to eat farmed salmon again – the problems they’ve had stemmed from an accidental weapons discharge, silly fish that didn’t want to die, and lazy seals. Oxygen death and a backhoe full of Pink Dye was just the irrational reaction of extremists. Omega 3 to the rescue, and a bellyfull of flaccid salmonid makes KFC jealous as hell.

The Orvis company lays off 20% of their Manchester employees in response to the uneven economic outlook. Twelve are from the rod manufacturing facility, which suggests reduced sales and the potential for additional cuts.

We’ve seen a couple of decades of spittle and vitriol over the Right to Bear Arms, and many hunters are fishermen, can we assume we’ll offer as good a fight with legislators as the NRA? We’ve mentioned the depletion of commercial fishing stocks in the ocean, how scientists predict the demise of almost all commercial [...]

A beginner tears hell out of everything – it’s his nature; the unfeeling, uneducated, flailing of amateurish casting is the best way to determine whether a material warrants more study or whether its got both durability and looks. …that and you can see whether the dyes cause wounds to fester, as only the novice can [...]
