Covering Tracks

Looks like my "Post the Grades" campaign has resulted in a hastily-constructed explanation:

These ratings were for the June 8 Primary and are not General Election Endorsements

That way, their talking pointers can deflect the call and tell people they won't release grades until Oct. 1.

But fine.

Where are the June 8 primary grades for the U.S. Senate race? What grades did those candidates get?

Why is that race conspicuously not included? Why can't we know now?

The question for PVF: Will they release Reid/Angle grades at all?

We're the Only Ones Boy Crazy Enough

Former Syracuse police officer Fredrick Baunee admits abusing boys and running drug trafficking ring [More]

I am so sick of this sh...

But there I go denigrating cops again. I ought to be ashamed of myself.

Just where do you think YOU'RE going...?

We're the Only Ones Well-Adjusted Enough

Three Dallas police officers face criminal charges after two were accused of beating a motorcyclist after a chase and lying about it in reports and a third adjusted an in-car camera to conceal a portion of the controversial arrest, Chief David Brown said Wednesday. [More]

Gee, no wonder they don't want us recording them.

A Position of Authority Within the Gang

The undercover agent was so trusted that the Long Island chapter named him its sergeant-at-arms, a position of authority within the gang. [More]

They "plotted to use grenades" but they only had "one improvised explosive device"?

I can't help but wonder who contributed most to the "plot."

Who's Your Daddy?

"Don't forget who is standing with you," the president said as he blamed Republicans for standing in the way of progress. [More]

Ah yes--shoulder-to-shoulder with "Give 'em Infierno" Harry's latest "pet cause".

And note the inclusion of "young people who attend college."

That's what we need: fast-track "undocumented" MEChA Aztlan aficionados on that path to U.S. voting booths.

Speaking of which, too bad NRA won't release the grades in the Reid/Angle race. Being a single-issue organization, I guess it's expecting too much for them to tell us how the candidates did on guns.

We're the Only Ones Camera-Shy Enough

Police continue to harass citizens who record them [More]

I wonder if this will induce any to back their lenses up a ways...?

The Siege of Rock Hill

Submit or be destroyed! [Read]

Hey, if this doesn't work, try starving them out. And flaming arrows work well, too.

And you can expedite it if you trebuchet some disease-infected corpses into their midst.

Government: Securing the blessings of Liberty since...

What? Work out a way to keep the water flowing and services paid for until the legal disputes are resolved? That's nowhere near as personally gratifying as crushing those who defy us. Why do you think we aspired to power over others in the first place?

Kill Those Who Insult Muhammad!

I guess I can't blame a Seattle lib for recanting and running away. It's not like she's equipped to tell these barbarian animals to go f*** themselves.

Please, sir, I want some more.

Feral Priscilla

We humans comprise the one species on Earth whose population is truly out of control -- overriding natural mechanisms that keep living populations in check. We fail to acknowledge how our reckless overdevelopment and penchant for procreation directly impacts and degrades our relationship with deer and other free-living animals, and how that diminishes us as a culture. [More]

Oh, now, don't lump us all together. Some of us--the ones who take care of ourselves--are actually under-populating, and that may prove to be the biggest threat we face in securing the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

But, yeah, there is some overpopulation goin' on, and funny--it all seems to be enabled by policies demanded by the control freaks and their useful idiots.

"Our culture," Priscilla, you tool, was built by people much different from you. You and your fellow hive insects are the diminishers.

If there's anything more pathetic than a self-loathing human, I haven't found it.

A Real Lifesaver?

Firearms registry saved my life, says domestic violence survivor [More]

That's a whole lotta words for a questionable anecdote that assumes hubby--alone among violent criminals--couldn't have obtained an unregistered gun. And there seem to be a lot of other stories about people who had no such problem--so how a registry would have solved their situation is anybody's guess.

But shouldn't the right of cud-chewers to feel safe account for anything...? I mean, why shouldn't our freedoms be limited by the demands of those who have proven incapable at taking care of themselves?

Helmke Loses Again

Resorts to name-calling.

It's all they have.

Should owning a giant pink inflatable pig make you a 'prohibited person'?

If we're to listen to Sen. Frank Lautenberg, Mr. Stilp and everyone else on the list should now be designated "prohibited persons," and forbidden from buying a gun. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column takes the "gun control" scheme du jour to its ridiculous and inevitable conclusion.

"d-D...d-D...d-Dat's all, folks!"--unless and until we get serious and turn things around.

Also, I interview a congressman. Then I get interviewed about a senate race.

This Day in History: September 16

The St. Johnsville Enterprise News...published an account of Adam Helmer’s heroic run of September 16, 1778, made to save the German Flats settlers from Brant’s raiders. Helmer’s run was successful and only two of the people of the western Mohawk Valley settlements met death when the red and white savages destroyed houses, barns and crops. [More]
