At least for today.
I've been fighting a particularly nasty bug all week--fevers, chills, racking coughs, headaches, rib aches, disorientation, weakness...I finally figured out trying to overcome things by sheer willpower wasn't working and went to the doctor and got a couple prescriptions, at least one of which does not promote industriousness and lucidity.
Bottom line--I've been sitting here at my computer for an hour and a half, mud-headed, and just can't think my way through posting things. If I get hit enough times with a 2 x 4, I can eventually take a hint. For the rest of today, the couch and the remote control represent the totality of my ambitions.

We're the Only Ones Carjacking Enough
A new Rockford, Illinois ordinance allows police to seize any car based on the accusation that it played loud music.
Get that? The LAW says government may STEAL private property from citizens without affording them due process. And, like the red Chinese, who reputedly charge families of executed prisoners the price of the bullet, they continue to extort "fees"--including storage charges that accumulate as they stonewall a hearing.
Yeah, governments are instituted among men to secure the blessings of liberty. The thugs don't even try to disguise who they think the boss is, do they?
Maybe they'll steal the wrong person's car--someone capable of devising a just response--and getting away with it.
Squeeze, baby, squeeze. Until our eyeballs bleed.
