Brian A. Terry Memorial Act creates political dilemma for Obama

Will Obama invite the Terry family to the signing? Will he dare not to? [Read]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes a real conundrum for The One.

Looks like I may need to start another category along the lines of "Only Ones" and "Authorized Journalists."

Vanderboegh Medical Update

I just spoke with Mike. Today is not a good day. He asks you keep him in your prayers and appreciates hearing that many of you have been.

As always, please hold off on sending him emails and comments he'll need to read/respond to/moderate. We want his sole focus to be on healing. If you want to help with that, there's that subscription donation button on Sipsey Street, as well as P.O. Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126, which certainly has room for some "Get Well" cards, especially the cool kind, with a little something in them.

Smile!

When it's least expected, you're elected...

I trust no one here is surprised?

We're the Only Ones Keeping Abreast of the Situation Enough

Texas Constable Pam Matranga Allegedly Forced Deputy to 'Motorboat' Her Breasts [More
Good grief.

In fairness, I'm not sold on believing this Gist character. That goes beyond my experience of anything a man would allow someone to do to him, and if he did, he automatically loses pretty much all credibility in my book.

By the same token, as far as "Only Ones" dishing out abuse goes,  I'm also pretty much prepared to believe anything.

They both sound like a couple of boobs.

Obama Campaign Nightmare

Just because I disagreed with Richard Feldman yesterday about gun shows doesn't mean I automatically dismiss everything he has to say.

He has a new piece out I think merits reading and consideration.  If you feel strongly about it one way or another, take the poll at the end.

What starts in California...[Read]

Besides, psychological conditioning/behavior modification is best left to state-approved professionals.

Without getting...uh...too deep into the whole gay thing, I have wondered, if a "gay gene" was found and it could be determined present while a fetus is still in the womb, if the left would suddenly want to put restrictions on "a woman's right to chose."

Another Roadside Attraction

I saw a news item about troubles at the San Onofre nuclear plant in Southern California and it brought back memories of all the times we've driven past it when we lived out there.

The first time elder feral son Uday noticed it and asked what it was, he must have been three or four at the time, I just went with the first thing that popped into my head and told him it was the Dolly Parton Museum.  He accepted that answer without further question.

We drove by it for years afterward, and each time we passed it, he and younger feral brother Qusay would call out "Look Daddy! The Dolly Parton Museum!"

Confidentially Speaking...

The latest al-Qaeda bomb plot targeting U.S. aircraft was unraveled from inside the terrorist group by operatives — including an agent who posed as a willing suicide bomber — working on behalf of the CIA and its counterparts in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, said U.S. and Middle Eastern officials. [More]
The Hutaree snitch, the infiltrator of those Occupy loons with the Ohio bridge (which is just five miles as the crow flies away from me, by the way), the Miramontes brothers...I keep waiting to find out the Colombian hookers were CIs too...

It really does seem much of the LE self-justification scam business model revolves around agents provocateur egging on the low-hanging fruits and then swooping in to become big headline heroes, so we can all know what they just saved us from.

Trendsetter

There's just something about rich regressives, in this case showing up at an AIDS benefit gala when her only recent newsworthy achievement results from having unprotected sex with someone she didn't know that well and who had no loving commitment toward her. [Read]

This Day in History: May 9

Another version, and the one most popular with Patriot writers, is that Tarleton tricked Buford by offering the Colonials quarter, and when they laid down their arms, Tarleton ordered the British troops to attack without mercy. Alexander Garden of Charleston wrote that it was "one of Tarleton's most atrocious acts of barbarity, yet it exalted him in the favour of Lord Cornwallis, and raised his military reputation, in the opinions of the British nation, to the most exalted degree of perfection."
