I'm Lovin' It

SF supervisors pass 'Happy Meal' regulations

Law would require offerings be healthier if they include a toy for children [More]

What...?

The Mark of Zakat

Watch.

And just in case we might be misinterpreting:

Muslim jurists agree that zakat was and is obligatory...

Set 'em Up, Knock 'em Down

However, it's not clear how much of the plot was his idea and how much was the idea of some paid FBI informants...[More]

Gee, where have we seen that before?

Invictus

It is clear that billions have been poured into the Black Hole that is the Central Firearms Register. With no visible impact on crime -- inconceivable given that the FCA is still touted as a crime-fighting measure.

Money just keeps on disappearing in it. Now, the Minister wants us to give the Central Firearms Register another shot at sorting out the mess of their creation - with a few minor face-changes. [More]

But money is no object. Besides, that's not what this is really about:

We are the masters of your fate.

We are the captains of your soul.

Everybody gets that, right?

Meanwhile, As the Horse and Pony Show Audience is Distracted...

The dollar is in danger of losing 20 percent of its value...[More]

Imagine that--a rigged carny game designed to cheat you out of your money...

I can't wait to see the new House leadership make the Fed a priority.  But I probably will.

We're the Only Ones Sweet Enough Already Enough

I made a big mistake, there's no sugarcoating it," Ganley said in court.[More]

He says with a straight face as he sugarcoats it...

A mistake is when you forget to carry the two.

This trusted public servant intentionally violated several laws, repeatedly and for years, that he would have destroyed someone else's life over. And note "he claimed [it] was quite common among fellow law-enforcement officers."

More evidence to support the "Just a few bad apples" meme, right?

Now Hulk MADDD! So just suck up and obey, and don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Naturally, the judge gives him probation.

"The Only Ones."

[Via Jeet]

That Which Can Be Granted

He also plans to renew his license to carry a gun, he said...About 30 minutes before the robbery Wednesday night, police responded to another armed robbery in which a woman had been “pistol-whipped” at the corner of Warren Avenue and Hervey Street. [More]

Gee, I wonder if those guys worried about getting permission...?

[Via Ed M]

The Mighty Keynesian

Good Lord. [Watch]

"Wild in the Streets" is here. Except based on these "adults," we don't need to fight for 14.

Rock the vote, baby.

[Via Russ H]

We're the Only Ones Treated Far Differently Enough

A Star investigation of two decades of cases probed by the SIU found that police officers are treated far differently than civilians when accused of shooting, beating, running over and killing people. [More]

Yeah, no duh. That's why they're "The Only Ones." Besides, what overworked accountant couldn't use a little break?

Don't expect the "Authorized Journalists" at the Star to make any connections, though...

[Via William T]

Was election a victory for gun owners?

Are we safe?  Can we relax? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks if you can skin griz. That and Obama makes a prank phone call.

This Day in History: November 3

Cognizant of the need for a warring country's continuing grateful prayers to God, the Continental Congresses proclaimed yearly Thanksgiving days during the Revolutionary War, from 1777 to 1783, with declarations such as this, also penned by Samuel Adams on behalf of the Continental Congress, November 3, 1778: "That all the People may with united Hearts on that Day express a just Sense of His unmerited Favors: --Particularly in that it hath pleased Him, by His over ruling Providence to support us in a just and necessary War for the Defence of our Rights and Liberties; ...by defeating the Councils and evil Designs of our Enemies, and giving us Victory over their Troops --and by the Continuance of that Union among these States, which by his Blessing, will be their future Strength & Glory."
