UPDATE: Well, right in the middle of the webcast the dang Babbage difference engine decided it would be a fine time to crash. It may be time to trade my old coal-burning steamer in for one of those new-fangled pull-start models.

GRE Round Up for Feb. 24

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Gun prohibitionists can’t be confused by facts

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
'Progressive' thinking: 'I would sooner lay my child to rest' than defend him with a gun

Go. Read. And please share the links.

A Wake-Up Call

Karl Denninger takes both American politicians and "the Only Ones" to the woodshed...[More]

And Vanderboegh senses a kindred spirit...

We're the Only Ones...

...Addressing Our Error Enough:

Tidwell believes that after the raid, the deputies intentionally scratched the letter "A" off the other side of the house to make it look like their mistake was unavoidable because it looked like all one house.

...Safeguarding Records Enough:

Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper has rejected a group's request to see the records relating to September's G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh.

...Providing Elder Care Enough:

Gary police Lt. Joshua Wiley, who admitted under oath he stole from an elderly neighbor with dementia and Alzheimer's disease and illegally took her home, was sentenced to three years in the Lake County Community Corrections Kimbrough Work Program.

...Covering Our Tracks Enough:

A 38-year-old former police officer in South Carolina is facing sentencing after pleading guilty to stalking and assaulting his girlfriend and trying to tamper with evidence against him in the case.

...Doubling Our Pleasure Enough:

Last week, deputies charged Jaymin Lenwood Murphy, 35 from Leland, with one count of first degree rape for a situation dating back to 2006. Shortly after that arrest made the news, deputies say another alleged victim came forward to report an incident.

...Letting Young People Know How Much We Care Enough:

Prosecutors say James E. Gilbert pleaded no contest Friday to 10 counts of solicitation of a minor via a computer.

...Letting Young People Know How Much We Care Enough Redux:

A former Searcy police officer was arrested at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning in the bedroom of a 16-year-old girl, according to the White County Prosecuting Attorneys Office.

...Letting Young People Know How Much We Care Enough Part Three:

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and local authorities are investigating a LaFollette police officer on allegations of statutory rape, officials said Monday.

There are several more in this batch, including a Part Four, but you get the idea...

This is Why

After a mousetrap with his name on it was found inside the South Bronx stationhouse, Palestro was transferred to another command for his safety. [More]

Courtesy of the "Lift a Finger" guys...

We often discuss why more "good cops" don't come forward. And while you may dismiss this as an overreaction to a symbolic gesture, remember that this guy knows full well what his "brethren" are capable of--and systemically allowed to get away with.

It still leaves the question of how safe citizens who live in the South Bronx are...

Ponder, for just a moment, on what all this really means and could lead to.

An Answer

If you want to know what the question was, you have to read this.

Weapon of Choice

Authorities say Eastwood used a bolt-action, high-powered rifle. [More]

Y'hear that, Fudds?

Once that bus you throw them under runs over the EBR guys, guess whose turn in the barrel it becomes?

Some seem to have forgotten it was a Carcano advertised for hunting that was exploited to restart the slide after decades of silence...

A Committee Action

I don't suppose banning the committee instead is an option...? [Read]

"Moderate" Begin with "P"

I’ll tell you what moderation is, Steve – it’s called being a pussy, a pushover, a watered-down sap. Moderation means selling your soul to avoid conflict. Your interview made you look far worse than your TV interview! And you have no clue how _bad_ some of the stuff you said (in the interview) is. You would have been pummeled by hardcore libertarians who read the interview. People would have hated you. You would have received more hate mails than you could handle. I felt too sorry for you to dare put that interview out for people to read. You are also gutless, and you are an enemy to free people. There is no moderation when it comes to freedom vs. slavery, Steve. There’s freedom … or there’s slavery. Have you ever paid attention to history? [More]

Wow. Remind me never to get Karen De Coster mad at me.

She revisits our old mate from Down Under who "likes guns" and notes his attempts at damage control just dig the hole deeper.

Great stuff. Man, I'd like to see that interview...

Raid Map

I'm sure we've talked about this before, but I can't find it right now, and it never hurts to revisit things of import we all should be aware of. From correspondent Me Here:

Figured you would really like this map: http://www.cato.org/raidmap/ based on the paper titled:

Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America, which can be found here:

Why Does Sting Promote Anti-Gun Sentiments That Enable Tyranny?

This Day in History: February 24

I have sent over Captn. Lieut Symonds to take the charge of some pieces of heavy Artillery, with which I have directed him, to give the Enemy's Shipping near the City all the annoyance in his power, while the river continues in its present situation. He will stand in need of a body of Infantry to cover the Artillery in this Operation and to aid in throwing up some little work, that may be necessary to give them greater security and enable them to act with more effect. I have therefore to request, you will give him all the Assistance you can afford, from the Militia under your command. He may possibly have it, in his power to do something to advantage, by means of red hot shot, or otherwise. [More]
