We're the Only Ones Meaty Enough

It is alleged that Deputies Joseph Cantwell and Phillip Barnett forced inmate Todd Triplett to place his penis on a sandwich before it was fed to an unsuspecting inmate...[More]
A Happy Meal, "Only Ones"-style...?

Well, Hell, That Sounds Reasonable...

The German government is planning to ban paintball and laser shooting games in reaction to the recent school massacre in which 15 people died. [More]
Nice to know their leaders have such a seasoned grasp of cause and effect...

Basic Economics

To expect the government to prevent such fraud from ever occurring would be like wanting it to provide cushions for all the children who might fall...

It means forgetting that the execution of these regulations is always entrusted to men who may have all the more interest in fraud or in conniving at fraud since the fraud which they might commit would be covered in some way by the seal of public authority... [More]
See, if this guy were running for public office today, he'd be dismissed as unelectable. A candidate with no principles but better chances would be the one everyone but a few would get behind, and they would be ridiculed and dismissed with contempt as "Turgbots."

We're the Only Ones Hot on Your Trail Enough

Wisconsin police can attach GPS to cars to secretly track anybody's movements without obtaining search warrants, an appeals court ruled Thursday. [More]
Hey, just keeping tabs on the livestock. And wait 'til Wisconsin Tommy starts implanting these in your forehead.

Besides, if you're not doing anything wrong, what have you got to hide?

And if you can't trust Wisconsin "Only Ones," who can you trust?

Misinterpreting the Assignment

District 70 Superintendent Dr. Dan Lere said students may have misinterpreted the assignment.

He says if a student, “actually did illustrate an act of terrorism that they might commit, let’s say against the school, we’ve expelled students for that.”[More]
And the fact that your guy set them up for exactly that would count how much, Dr. Dan?

Funny how when they become the subject of hypotheticals some people get all jittery...

Truth is, it's actually a valid assignment, and could produce some interesting ideas/provoke some interesting discussion. That is, if the intent is not to produce a population that depends on others to "protect" the herd.

ATF Property Seizure Notice-Supplement

This link goes to an embedded version of document I posted earlier today. [More]

That Scribd is pretty neat. Yeah, I know, the youngsters are slapping their foreheads at the fossil. Let me share with you what my high school graduation present from my parents was--a portable manual typewriter.

I have in my life coded assembly parts lists with a #2 pencil using 80 column forms--putting in part numbers, descriptions, quantities, subassembly nomenclatures, engineering changes notice numbers etc., and then taking the batched forms down to a department called "Keypunch."

Like we used to say at the end of the shift as we slid down the brontosarus neck: "Yabba-dabba-doo!"

All within the acceptable range of "Only One" responses...?

I wonder if they rotate ads on this? I got the one from Brinks Security. I was not exactly impressed by its message.

Does ATF Want Seized Property Notices Noticed?

Had they wanted to, ATF could have made this available on the Internet in a matter of minutes and then put out a press release. And they could have done it with all the bells and whistles--a nice user-friendly searchable file...had they wanted to. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner gives you what your government will not: An online listing of the seized firearms we discussed here last Friday.

Most gun owners don't even know about this--and that seems intentional. BATFU is doing the bare minimum to comply.

This information appears nowhere else--for now. Please help change that and spread the GRE link far and wide.

Also get the latest from my Examiner colleagues.

And for those of you who weren't around over the weekend, here's what was discussed in my column:
