Starve the Beast
We go on a consumption strike until and unless our demands are met. [More]I wish I could be optimistic that enough people would care to do this that it would make a difference. I'm afraid people are going to need to be brought to their knees for it to sink in.
Meanwhile, they will preoccupy themselves with the pH Factor: Hanna Montana, Twilight, Jon & Kate Plus Eight, Dancing with the Stars, the Bachelorette, The freakin' Cougar fer cryin' out loud...
They'll go in droves to Transformers 2, to reward the slut du jour who wishes many in their families dead.
Sorry to sound so pessimistic. It's a good idea. I'm doing much of it already.
It's just that I'm doing much of a lot of things that most of those around me seem oblivious to.

UPDATE: I rest my case.
Crabby Shack Remodeling?
Ol' Joe has a long shot chance at landing a media/PR gig with a local firm that reps some of the big players in the boomstick market. [More]And he'd like our help to make it happen.
OK, but I'll do more than give a testimonial--I'll prove what I claim.
So when I say Joe's Crabby Shack has been a resource that readers here have found value in for years, I'm not just saying it to be nice or to do someone a favor.
Click on this link, King and Queen of Poo-bahs, and see for yourself.
Go over to the title link and leave a comment if you're so inclined, and want to help turn a shack into Stately Crabby Manor. But in the interests of full disclosure, when he finally makes it huge, I've got dibs on the poolside bartender job.
We're the Only Ones "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" Enough
A Maryland Transit Administration police officer has been charged with raping a 15-year-old Elkridge girl who asked him for help finding her way home on the light rail, according to charging documents. [More]Again with my never answered question...
I'm certainly relieved to find this "Only Ones" story being reported from Maryland, as opposed to New Jersey, where at least their cops are trustworthy enough to buy more guns than the rest of us...

We're the Only Ones Entrepreneurial Enough
A Saint Landry Parish Sheriff's Deputy has been arrested for allegedly smuggling drugs and other illegal contraband into the St. Landry Parish Jail. [More]My favorite quote:
"If they can bring in drugs, then they can bring in a weapon, and we can't have that"No, of course not. That's why "Only Ones" are exempt from gun edicts meant for the rest of us.

Will N.J. 'One Gun a Month' Bill Stop the Violence?
So when this latest assault on the people who are not responsible for the violence doesn't work, the "solution" will be to drag even more people who aren't guilty into the net. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner looks at the State of New Jersey's latest hate crime against peaceable armed citizens.
Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.
Tell a friend? For real?
This Day in History: June 30
On June 30, 1777, Maj. General John Burgoyne's right wing put ashore on the western shore of Lake Champlain to the north of Fort Ticonderoga, while his left wing under Maj. General Friedrich von Riedesel put ashore on the eastern shore. [More]
