A Weiner in the White House?

Michael Savage...says he may leave the airwaves to make a bid for the presidency.
Why not?

All the other "conservatives" are frauds, so what's one more?

We're the Only Ones Speedy Enough

A Bartow County couple is fighting back against neighborhood speeders. Lee and Teresa Sipple live at the bottom of a steep hill outside of Rome and say most motorists ignore the posted speed limit and zoom by their house, endangering them and their 2-year-old son. But now, fighting back could land them in jail.

Lee and Teresa Sipple have an upcoming court date to see if they will be arrested for messing with a cop...

Lee says his most surprising catch yet? A neighbor who ought to know better. “Kennesaw police officer...

According to the warrant affidavit filed by Officer Perrone, he says the Sipples did harass him by sending his employer multiple e-mails in an effort to get him in trouble. Kennesaw Police say they are investigating and have counseled Perrone before for improperly flashing his badge at the Sipples.
I guess the Sipples didn't realize they were messing with an "Only One."

Air Head Judge Rules Air Gun a Weapon

An AirSoft gun might not be able to cause that much physical damage, but Judge John S. Kennedy determined Monday that the plastic BB-shooting guns, designed to be safer than traditional metal projectile BB and pellet guns, are capable of causing serious bodily injury - at least to the eye.
And for that, this evil tyrant sentenced the young man to "130 days to 23 months" of captivity, locking him in with brutal, vicious animals who will no doubt welcome the fresh, innocent young meat.

The bast*** had even "tabled an offered plea." Oh, but he relied on stare decisis, woudn't you know. Nothing we can do about that--our hands are tied.

This kid got railroaded by an absurd "law," a more absurd precedent, a "public defender", and a cowardly judicial tyrant.

It's nice if you have the faith to believe that some day, these black-robed Nazgûl will stand before another Judge, but it would also be nice to see them reap rewards for their tyranny in this life, and wind up in the same chains they worked their lives to help forge.

God, this has me mad.

The "Only Ones" Loophole...

You know that beating of a rookie cop in Queens from yesterday? It turns out that suspect victim Danny Fernandez was staking out cops so he could steal a gun. Fernandez had been waiting three hours until decided to attack Officer Joseph Cho with a baseball bat in Jackson Heights at 1AM.
Who needs gun shows when you have walking display cases delivered right to your neighborhood?

And before dismissing this as bringing a bat to a gunfight, note he'd have probably gotten away with it if other "Only Ones" hadn't been nearby. An interesting clip involving knives and guns is posted at Crime, Guns and Video Tape.

It's one of the reasons why I prefer concealed vs. open carry--unless and until that becomes common practice, I'd just as soom blend in with the background noise, thank you.

We're the Only Ones With a Vested Interest Enough

A police officer making a traffic stop escaped serious injury when a bullet fired accidentally by a fellow officer struck his protective vest, police said.
I wonder if they'll start calling the negligent "Only One" "Clod" Torres...?

Here's another take on this.

David Hardy "Gun Talk" Interview

Those of you who read and participated in yesterday's WarOnGuns interview with David Hardy should also enjoy Tom Gresham's radio interview.

We're all going to buy a copy of Hardy's "In Search of the Second Amendment" DVD to educate ourselves and others with, right?

We're going to do it today, right?

Guilty Verdict Extinguishes Our Light

The lights are going out all over the United States. Another one went out Jan. 12, when “Compassionate Conservative” Judge Jimm Hendren kicked the Constitution (U.S. and Arkansas) out of his courtroom by disallowing its mention, then made the jury leave the courtroom during Wayne Fincher’s own reasoned, knowledgeable defense of his militia and his weapons.
Barbara McCutchen got her letter printed in the Times Record, and it's a good one.
