You know, one of the "Only Ones" we can trust to carry guns in eating and drinking establishments.

Just ask the Bradys. They'd be absolutely horrified at the prospect of a citizen being able to drop this badged mad dog in his tracks.

See, individual liberty is a delusion of mental illness. It's really all about our having Daddy issues.

This Day in History: February 15

I am constrained to inform you, that the situation of the Army is most critical and alarming for want of provision of the meat kind. Many of the Troops for four days and some longer, have not drawn the smallest supplies of this Article. This being the case, it is needless to add more to convince you of their distress. They have been on the point of dispersing and without the earliest releif, no address or authority will be sufficient to keep them long together. Their patience and endurance are great, but the demands of nature must be satisfied. I must therefore, Gentlemen, in the most urgent terms, request and entreat your immediate and more active exertions to procure and forward to Camp, as expeditiously as possible, all the provision of the meat kind which it may be in your power to obtain.
