We're the Only Ones Highly Recommended Enough

Gundersen was acquitted in September of two dozen counts of spousal rape, but convicted of 11 counts of battery and illegally possessing both a submachine gun and a pistol with a silencer -- charges he is due to be sentenced for Friday.

But, with the District Attorney's Office still deciding whether to proceed with charges that Gundersen raped his then live-in girlfriend in 1999, the Trinidad Police Department recommended Wednesday that Gundersen be charged with a series of theft and embezzlement charges stemming from his tenure as Trinidad police chief.

The rampant "Only Oneism" has gone on for years and years...

Yeah, these guys are better than us, all right...better at being criminals.

Capitalists Selling Rope

Rope:

The 2008 Legislative session has begun, and the Ammunition Accountability Act is being introduced across the country. Below is a summary of legislation that has been introduced throughout the United States...

Capitalists.

The comments from here have these fascist parasites pretty well pegged--there's no market demand for their brand of subversion, so instead they're going the coercion/force it on us route.

Stand Down

VCDL says things aren't as bad as they seemed.

FOR THE TIME BEING, LET'S JUST LET THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS KNOW THAT WE SUPPORT THE RANGE AND WANT IT TO BE BUILT!

OK.

We're the Only Ones Authorizing Journalists Enough

Three writers whose police department press passes weren't renewed filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday challenging the city's criteria for deciding who qualifies for the valuable ID cards...

"Why does the police department get to determine who is a journalist?" Siegel said.

Gee, no conflict of interest for "Only Ones" who work for the founder of Bloomberg News to want to decide just who is and is not an "Authorized Journalist."

Is there?

Two Very Good Reasons...

...the GOP is trying to purge John Boehner from his house leadership position, and replace him with this pliable, gun-confiscating wretch:

Boehner Demands Fed Identify Recipients of Loans

and

Boehner Pans Money For Autos

Who but the corrupt, the bought-and-paid-for, would oppose his first initiative. And who but a usurper would oppose his second? The thieves are just trying to cover their tracks in the first instance, and return to the scene of the crime in the second.

I'm not a Boehner cheerleader. I've expressed caution on the guy in the past.

The reason the Republicans blew it, and isn't it curious that neocons are partnering with socialists to claim the opposite, is because the base is sick and tired of being betrayed, and compromising further under the false promise of what's represented as political pragmatism, but what is actually surrender.

We're the Only Ones A Scanner Darkly Enough

Lomita has become the latest South Bay city to begin using computerized technology capable of scanning thousands of license plates a day.

It is presently the only local city that contracts with the Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services to use what's known as automatic number plate recognition. (Carson had one, but the car it was installed in was totaled in a crash.)

That last bit actually made me laugh. It's the only thing about hurtling headlong into the total surveillance state that does, all aided and abetted by our friends, the "Only Ones."

Good thing "the American Civil Liberties Union has signed off on the idea because it does not involve racial profiling." Marxist states like Cuba don't really care what color the proles are, either, and if you have any doubts about the ACLU in Southern California...why that's funny--I just searched their site for three terms, "Heller," "Second Amendment" and "gun" and came up empty on anything resembling a retraction or an apology...

But they've done their job permeating the public consciousness well, you can't argue that. Not only are cities all over the South Bay jumping on board, you even have the mayor of one of the most well-heeled, chock-full-of-capitalist communities, and a lawyer, to boot, someone who probably once took a college-level multiple choice test on the Bill of Rights by his sophomore year, asking "Should you really have an expectation of privacy when you drive on a public street?"

Of course not, Mr. Mayor. Any more than we'd expect our First Amendment right to be recognized if we, say, videotaped the cop or disagreed with him. Any more than we'd expect our Second Ame...ah, you guys know the drill: Fourth Amendment trunk search, Fifth Amendment self-incrimination, try to exercise any one of these with the attitude that you're a sovereign citizen and let the cruel and unusual punishment begin, on the spot, the streets being Sixth and Eighth Amendment-free zones as well. Should we really have an expectation that it would be otherwise? Hell, we don't even expect these things in our homes anymore.

One final note: Everybody caught the last name of the Lomita community officer, right? I suppose the irony is either lost on him or it's why he chose the line of work he did...

This Day in History: November 16

You are immediately to examine into the state of the artillery of this army & take an account of the Cannon Mortars, Shels, lead & ammunition that are wanting; When you have done that,you are to proceed in the most expeditions manner to New York; There apply to the president of the provincial Congress, and learn of him whether Col Reed did any thing, or left any orders [struck: there] respecting these things, & get him to procure such of them as can possibly be had there.
