Sweeping? As in "Under the Rug"?

Special assistant to Malden mayor charged in sweeping crime ring remains on job [More]
But of course...

I mean, just look at the group we're dealing with...

Dead-End Kid

NRA Backs Fimian...[More]
Hey, he got it right on Virgina Tech! [Watch]

Then Defenseless Citizens for Non Sequiturs attacked him. [Watch]

Now we see what he's really made of! [Watch]

And he brings in his damage control professional weaselworder :
Edson refused to say if Fimian would support legislation without knowing the exact details. [More]
Huh. Maybe if he wasn't an oily damn liar, more people might have gotten fires in their belly to support the guy and this wouldn't have happened.

Good. I'm so sick of "pro-gun" fork-tongued frauds.  Let him lose. And let his cowardly betrayal follow him around every time he pops his head up scrounging for a position of authority.

The only way we'll ever stop this is to let these charlatans know that some of  us will do our utmost to make sure it's a political evolutionary dead end.

We're the Only Ones Immune Enough

Judge RIchard Schoenstedt ruled earlier this month that prosecutors had failed to prove Peterson's semiautomatic rifle wasn't protected under a federal law that gives police officers general immunity to own weapons that are illegal under state law. [More]
What more do you need to know?

Don't Let Those Crocodile Tears Fall Into All That Blood You're Dancing In

You might slip! [Read]
Our hearts go out to Ms. Hain's children, whose mother was taken from them by a senseless act of gun violence.
You forget something Paul? In all your "see, we told you so" smugness blaming the victim?

Like her husband, who was the actual armed danger, "was a Berks County parole officer and a former prison guard." (Amazing, how that's buried here, and how hard that is to find in other "Authorized Journalist" accounts...it's almost like they share an agenda or something.)

You know, one of the "Only Ones" Paul & Co. tell us can be trusted with guns.

We're the Only Ones Unimaginative Enough

“I can’t imagine any reason why I would not conceal,” one cop said. “What’s your logic for not concealing?” [More]
Oh, I don't know, Officer "Only One". What the hell's yours?

Why are so many of these unimaginative types seemingly attracted to this line of work?  Unfortunately, I see the logic behind recruiting them...

Priceless

The escort armada? 34 warships.

The trip to Mumbai? $200 million/day.

Preempting deadly assault coconut strikes? Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Tax Cows.

Hey, it's not like government needs to cut back on spending or anything. We're still doing things the civilized way.

UPDATE: And just when you thought it couldn't get any pricier, we add a special air-conditioned over-ground tunnel, just to demonstrate double the hypocrisy with the awesome size of our carbon footprint!

We're the Only Ones "Lovely Eric Meter Maid" Enough

(Recommendation: Get this playing in the background before reading, just to set the mood)
A Denver parking enforcement officer took revenge on a driver who called him a "meter maid" by asking a co-worker to write the driver a false parking ticket, 9Wants to Know has learned. [Read]
And then his co-conspirator mailed it late to double the fine?

The "Only One" in question is identified as Officer Eric Madril.

Sir Paul? Your cue:
Standing by a lifting derrick
When I caught a glimpse of Eric
Filling in a ticket in his little white book
In a cap he looked much older
And the bag across his shoulder
Made him look a little like a military man
Lovely Eric meter maid...

Then there's this:
'Come on! Get out of your truck and let's go.'

Ha! Give us a wink, Eric. Make us think of you.

ACLU attacks conservatives as 'extremists' in fundraising appeal

I'd like Romero to tell all of us, because guess who comes out looking like the intolerant, closed-minded bigot in a match-up between a prominent gun rights activist and a top "progressive"? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column urges open-mindedness to our antagonists.  I guess whether that ends up meaning literally is up to them.

Also see the last of the .500 hitters and join a TV crew on the road.

Can I count on site regulars to help me spread the word by sharing the link?

This Day in History: November 4

The French Minister (Gerard) seems not to have been consulted regarding the printing, ordered by Congress November 4, 1778, of this treaty and of the Treaty of Alliance. At that time Gerard had been only a few months in the United States... [More]
