We're the Only Ones Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places Enough

The two cases, filed by Erica Contreras and Janet Cain, claim former deputies William Ritchie, Matthew Wallace and Alex Maldonado sexually assaulted them in late 2006...

Good thing they were "Only Ones"--otherwise they might have gotten severe punishment.

This Blog is Lightworker Approved

Barack Obama's choice for Attorney-General, Eric Holder, has stated that he favors 'reasonable restrictions' on free speech on the Internet.

It reminds me of that line from "The Menagerie" in the original Star Trek:

Wrong thinking is punishable.
Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded.

"Reasonable restrictions." Where have we heard that before?

Change is a-comin'.

UPDATE: Correspondent TC sent me a link to Instapundit's post, which in turn links to The Volokh Conspiracy. The "context" does not persuade me, from a citizen militia standpoint, from a banning basic chemistry standpoint, and from a camel's nose under the tent standpoint.

Hey-- did you know that "Pouring Liquid Oxygen onto unlit charcoal will cause the charcoal to explode; each briquette will detonate with the force of one stick of dynamite"?

I Didn't Know...

...that Nov. 19 was "World Toilet Day." And the eggheads say not only should we stop flushing, but we should be taxed for when we do.

It figures that "expert" academics would come up with crap like this.

Answer the Question

Ready? This is the question: Mr. Helmke, if what this is really all about is "safe streets" and "public safety" how does sparking a bloody civil war further those objectives? The answer is, it doesn't. It can't.

Mike Vanderboegh asks Paul Helmke a question.

And looky here--he's got himself a blog, Sipsey Street Irregulars! I'd like to think all my whining and cajoling and irritating him about it may have had a little bit to do with that...

We're the Only Ones Breaking the Chain Enough

Law enforcement personnel in Denver allowed a car that is evidence in a murder case to be auctioned, then went to the buyer and retrieved the vehicle, bloody bandannas and metal pipes the new owner already had cleaned out of her purchase.

Too bad there wasn't a gun in the trunk.

With "Only Ones" like these, I'm going to start doing all my murders in Denver!

Great News!

We are told to expect the final tallies from the counties still outstanding to be announced by early next week, and I expect to be making a formal statement then. For now, I think we can safely say that the fat lady is singing – and she’s singing our song.

Uh-oh. I think Tom McClintock just alienated the Rosie O'Donnell vote.

We're the Only Ones High-Power Enough

Nearly 100 teens marched outside Chicago police headquarters Thursday night to protest the department's plans to equip officers with semi-automatic rifles, saying the weapons could make the streets more dangerous.

Carrying signs like "Stop the War on Youth," teens said they didn't trust police with the high-powered weapons and worried gangs would be encouraged to bolster their own arsenals.

Arthur McGraw certainly sounds like a boy genius, doesn't he(?), although I agree with him on one point--I don't trust them either. And why does his "Southwest Youth Collaborative" remind me of the Young Communist League, right down to their Lightworkeresque "community organizing"?

I wonder where fellow travelers Jesse and Snuffy were? Well, at least they're leaving John R-i-g-g-i-o alone and going after not just "Only Ones," but Chicago "Only Ones" (who, I confess, I wouldn't mind seeing reduced to billy clubs as an experiment--just to see if there was any behavior modification).

"It'll shoot through brick, car doors."

Yeah, no kidding.

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

We're the Only Ones Camera Shy Enough

Anzaldi was arrested and his equipment was confiscated, and about 500 images were deleted from his memory card, when the Chicago police decided that he wasn’t allowed to film a crime scene from a neighbor’s private property...

The Chicago Police are getting in trouble for torturing people, actually physically torturing people...It’s not about right and wrong for them, it’s about what they have the power to do.”

You’re going to all of the sudden tell people you can only photograph where the police say you can photograph?”

See, they're not just "Only Ones." They're Chicago "Only Ones."

And commentator "Old School" sure sounds like a good German, doesn't he?

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

This Day in History: November 22

Congress resolves to permit the colonies to export a fixed amount of provisions to Bermuda, where inhabitants faced starvation, in return for salt which was badly needed in the colonies. Unlimited quantities of food could be exported if the return cargoes contained military supplies.
