Undermining Legitimacy

"Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism," U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins said in a statement after von NotHaus was convicted. [More]

Funny. From where I sit, the true domestic terrorists are the kidnappers and thieves behind this evil crime, as well as the ones who have supplanted "legitimate currency" with a Monopoly money scam.

Hopefully, some day Ms. Tompkins and her co-conspirators will have to account for themselves to a fully-informed jury, which obviously was not present here.

Wrapped Around the Axle

Mike and I were going to do simultaneous releases on some valuable and insightful opinions from "a former federal employee" about the forces at work in government that could cooperate to make "Project Gunwalker" go away.

Personal family matters precluded me doing any work on this yesterday, and since Mike was ready to go with this take, I told him no sense waiting for me--especially since I just received the response to my ATF FOIA and have to spend the rest of the afternoon reading and scanning the 100+ pages into a pdf document I can post and share.

So go here for Mike's post (actually, read this one first for a deeper understanding), and I'll try to get an Examiner piece out on it tomorrow or the next day--the main points I want to make are how this makes it imperative for NRA to play the grade reduction/endorsement withholding card, and how all of us need to spread the words about the "Old Bloody Hands" & Co. shell game.

In the mean time, I've got some drudgework  that'll keep me off the streets...

Yeah, no kidding.  I guess I need to brush up on my "Authorized Journalese."

We're the Only Ones Dog-Whispering Enough

Somehow, I don't think this is what Cesar Millan has in mind when he advises to get the dog in "a calm, submissive state."  I guess you need to be an "Only One" to employ these advanced techniques. [Read]

Aw, shucks.

Can Mike and I start referring to ourselves as "Award-winning extremists" now?

Also learn more "Chuck Norris Facts."

This Day in History: April 4

It appears to me that Light Blunderbusses on account of the quantity of shot they will carry, will be preferable to Carbines, for Dragoons, as the Carbines only carry a single ball especially in case of close action. [More]

Gee...so there's a "reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia" after all.

Who knew?
