A fave Blogger

Just finished reading a post from Michael Bane. If you don't know Bane, you're not in to firearms. He's a terrific writer, insightful observer of people, and generally about as close to blunt-object trauma in print as you'd care to get. He's also host of a great show on The Outdoor Channel (I can't get it either, don't whine) called "Shooting Gallery" and produces a show called "Cowboys", also on TOC. Both are very good. So good, in fact, that the "gun magazine" TV shows (yawn) are getting completely pissy about how his show buries theirs.
Good reasons- he's funny, opinionated, and doesn't tell you everything ever manufactured is worth having. There are, despite what most outdoor publications write, some real pieces of crap out there in the marketplace. Believe it or not, not every product offered for sale is really worth a crap. Many, in fact, are just that: crap.
Anyway, Bane's blog is one you really ought to visit. Heck, he's the only strict vegan firearms guy I've ever known - and if that's not enough to make him interesting, he loves macaws and exotic goldfish. Guess the old joke's true. You know, what do you call a Biafran with a pet dog? Vegetarian. A Biafran with 4 dogs? Caterer (ouch).
