Ann Coulter Pours the Romney Kool-Aid

Liberals claim to be enraged at Romney for being a "flip-flopper." I've looked and looked, and the only issue I can find that Romney has "flipped" on is abortion.

Truly? Gee, Ann, you must not have looked all that hard.

Of the top five Republican candidates for president, Romney is the only one who hasn't dumped his first wife (as well as the second, in the case of Giuliani) – except Huckabee.

Oh, really?

I guess it all depends on the meaning of "top five."

Y'know, Ann, you'd get a lot farther with people inclined to agree with some of your views if you didn't, like, lie to them...

Who Didn't Stay "Paid Off"?

Some of us lament the NRA statement on the DoJ Heller brief was not "strongly worded" enough.

Others ask "[A]re people irritated because Bush was 'paid off' and didn't stay paid off?"

Recalling not too long ago who the major proponents of this case not being heard were, right down to the point of trying to sabotage it, are we really that sure the Vote Freedom First president isn't doing exactly what some want him to...?

We're the Only Ones Giving Ourselves a Little Bonus Enough?

A former Hamburg police officer, who once was accused of threatening to shoot a customer in a West Reading diner, has been charged with stealing more than $3,000 seized in drug investigations in the Dauphin County community where he is now police chief.

That's OK, chief. I note the date on this story is January 16. We're having a special.

Just show the judge your "Only Ones" badge and ID.

We're the Only Ones Smelling of Unfairness Enough

As expected, a second former police officer in Tuxedo Park has been sentenced not to time in jail, as requested by the prosecution, but to three years of probation and 150 hours of community service...This is similar to the sentence received last month by another former member of the department who pleaded guilty to the same misdemeanor...No one will explain how the police chief, involved in this and even worse crimes, could have received no jail time, no probation and no community service after pleading guilty to a felony, not a misdemeanor, and costing the village many thousands of dollars in investigations.

Previous requests for some public explanation of this glaring discrepancy have brought two responses — silence and a not-so-veiled threat that the newspaper does not deserve equal treatment by lawyers or judges if it persists in questioning these inequities...

Such thuggish behavior does not erase the court record...This Tuxedo Park case smells of unfairness or worse..

Well as long as Michelle is getting a break, why not end the Tuxedo Park saga the same way?

Maybe we should recognize January 16 as "Only Ones Leniency Day".

I do wonder though, now that the "Authorized Journalists" at the Times Herald-Record have figured out you can't trust the cops and you can't trust the courts, if they think this monopoly of power business is a good idea or if it leads to "thuggish behavior"--and if they "smell" the "unfairness" of it all...?

We're the Only Ones of Justice and Peace Enough

Lockney Justice of the Peace Michelle Araujo drew 10 years probation and a $5,000 fine after pleading guilty Tuesday to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the shooting of her husband.

Oh, gee, what a surprise.

And thus ends our little saga (for now?), an object lesson in justice and peace, "Only Ones" style:

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Michelle and her Romeo.

Fred Pulls Ahead on Heller

Asked his opinion of the Second Amendment and the Solicitor General's request that the DC Circuit Court remand the appeal back to the trial court for "fact-finding", the lawyer turned Senator from Tennessee said the Bush Administration was "overlawyering" and stated that he opposed remand and that the case should move forward to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'd still like to see what I originally called for along with this, that is, "detailing what he would do if he were president."

I also recall advising "Don't let Fred Thompson beat you to the punch on this."

Oh well. The Ron Paul campaign had a no-cost opportunity and they blew it, and kudos are now going to the candidate to whom he is most vulnerable for gun owner loyalty. And that, Kent Snyder, et al., is what happens when you "rest assured."

This Day in History: January 17

The Battle of Cowpens was fought on January 17, 1781, during the Southern campaign of the American Revolutionary War and was an overwhelming victory by American Revolutionary forces under Brigadier General Daniel Morgan. It was a turning point in the reconquest of South Carolina from the British, and went down in history as the great American tactical masterpiece of the war.
