Young buck goes on a quest in Roman Britannia to recover the standard of the 9th Legion lost by his father years earlier.
Pretty weak film overall. Lots of that bouncy camera crap. Fairly predictable w/ elements from Gladiator and the Patriot. Seemed like it was already edited for TV. And they could have at least pretended to try and speak like Romans instead of modern Californians.
OK for a rental but don't bother spending the money for the theater.

Baldr's Poll, Honest Results.
Linoge has mirrored the poll from over at 'New Trajectory' which disappeared after the results didn't turn out the way CF OR expected. I'm sure the numbers will be similar.
.45ACP Ammo Recall
From a VCDL E-mail Alert:
URGENT! PLEASE SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE!
I just received an email from a member with an attachment from
Federal Premium Ammunition.
The attachment is an urgent recall of some lots of Federal and
American Eagle .45 ammo.
***Please read all of this if you have ANY .45 ACP ammunition from
American Eagle,
Champion, GoldMedal, Hi-Shok, or Federal.***
I checked Federal's web site, but saw nothing about this
recall as of 12 PM on February 10th,
so I called them to make sure this wasn't a hoax.
IT IS REAL. Their web site has not been updated yet. :-(
As VCDL members are not allowed to die or get hurt
(part of the rules of being a member), I am getting this out ASAP:

The Truth Hurts....
A poll was put up at the CF Oregon blog 'New Trajectory' to 'gauge his readership'. Well, the final results were 66:1 against new restrictions on firearm laws.
And ya know what? Unsurprisingly, the author then dismissed the poll as rigged and firearm rights advocates as dishonest and bullies because we linked to him. He's whining that there wouldn't have been such high numbers opposing him if people like Joe hadn't done that.
Well he's right. By the numbers he gave, it would only have been 20-30:1 on an average day.
In reality, he's just jealous that the 10 people that support him can't generate the kind of traffic we do.

Blago's 18 Minute Gap
Impeached IL Gov. Hot Rod Blagojevich has lost phone records of his conversations w/ Chicago Mayoral candidate (and former Obama staffer) Rahm Emanual.
How convenient.

The 'Perfect' Social Housing Project
"squalid conditions, without running water or electricity." and over 2000 people in a building designed for a few hundred.
This filmmaker probably considers Cabrini Green to be a 'success' as well.
I wonder if she'll open up her home for a similar experience?

Did You Know.....
That a State sponsored and led Home Guard is an attempt to overthrow the government?
Really. The Coalition to Stop Gun Ownership has added the Montana bill to their 'insurrectionist timeline'. I guess Ladd Everitt thinks Montana is planning to secede soon.
What is also funny is this line:
These people have become so deranged that anyone who opposes anything the Feds do is now accused of wanting to overthrow them. And they wonder why noone takes them seriously.

would not be subject to federal oversight or control.Which is really funny considering the contempt they hold the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th amendments to the Constitution, the guiding document of the Federal Government.

NSSF Fires Back at IL Senators
IL Senators Dick Durbing(D) and Mark Kirk(Rino), both longtime gun ban supporters, sent out a letter in support of BATFE nominee Andrew Traver, another bat-sh!t crazy gun banner out of Chi-town.
In said letter, they claim NSSF leadership thinks Traver is just the bees knees. Not so much:
Hmm. Gun 'Control' making contrived statements pretending they have more support than is really there. Kind of like the oft touted poll by Bloomburg claiming NRA members want more gun control. Just 'taint there.
In said letter, they claim NSSF leadership thinks Traver is just the bees knees. Not so much:
Yet from reading the release and corresponding letter to the President of the United States, one would easily be misled to conclude that America’s firearms industry fully endorses Mr. Traver’s nomination. The industry does not — NSSF has taken no position on this nomination.
Hmm. Gun 'Control' making contrived statements pretending they have more support than is really there. Kind of like the oft touted poll by Bloomburg claiming NRA members want more gun control. Just 'taint there.
