MySpace vs OurRights

The hottest new hit on MySpace.com isn’t a wacko with a manifesto, but a teetotaler Gemini who’s into firearms reduction.

So just how would propagandist Laurel J. Sweet define "a wacko with a manifesto" then?

Kalashnikov Backs Weapons Control

Of course he does.

He's a communist.

We're the Only Ones in Training

A trainee from the Montana Law Enforcement Academy was picked up by a Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s deputy early Tuesday on charges including drinking and driving, and possession of marijuana.

And when we become real Only Ones, we want to bust you for doing the same thing...

Thanks for this story to Charles Baker, who notes:

One of the things about the MLEA, trainees are almost always already working for a police or sheriff's department. The department pays to send them to the academy after they have shown they are a good fit for the job. While there are "pre-service" students at the academy, they are the exception rather than the rule. As such, although the paper doesn't mention it, this guy is probably already working for some law enforcement agency.

That wouldn't surprise me one bit, Mr. Baker.

This Day in History: June 27

On this day in 1775, the Continental Congress resolves that Major General Philip John Schuyler should travel to Forts Ticonderoga and Crown Point in order to examine the troops, their supplies and their ability to navigate Lake Champlain and Lake George, as well as “obtain the best intelligence he can of the disposition of the Canadians and Indians of Canada.”
