The point being, these are but a few examples of innumerable reports filed in this column and at citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh’s Sipsey Street Irregulars blog that have since been proven through “official” sources, albeit, there is often a significant lag time between sourced claims and validation. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column is pleased to say "I told you so."

Fortunately, the mayor, with his taxpayer-funded armed security detail, was never in any danger... [Read]

Today's Grammar Lesson
Remember diagramming sentences?
I do, vaguely. I'm fortunate that, as a good monkey with highly-developed imitative skills, I've always read a lot and been able to absorb what feels right as opposed to actually understanding why it is--when younger, it allowed me to place highly on my college aptitude tests, bypassing freshman English and going right into composition classes.
Had I not, I'm sure my eyes-glaze-over ADD (something that hadn't been invented yet back then, but boy, do I have it bad when something bores me) would have derailed me on the basics--I actually wonder how I'd do if I had to take one of my old fourth grade grammar tests today, and don't do so with confidence. I think that's one reason why I have trouble with foreign languages--they start you out with equivalent principles, and when you start talking infinitives and past participles and predicative adjuncts, hell, I was staring out the window when they talked about that stuff in English--I'll be damned if I'd know what to do with the frickin' things in French.
Anyway, W3, who is smarter than me, or at least more disciplined and mature, calls our attention to a diagram of the Second Amendment that he found while "running rabbit trails looking for other information."
Don't ask me if it's right.
It does remind me of another deconstruction, a rather brilliant one, I thought....
Is it recess yet?

We're the Only Ones Psychological Enough
Officers have to go through a stringent hiring process that includes a psychological examination. The same is true for federal agents. [More]Yeah, and we see every day how that works out.
This is the kind of editorial horse droppings that would be easy to come up with link after link refuting it, but with the outrageousness of "Officer Anonymous's" presumptions and the obnoxious way he presents them, particularly with his purposely offensive "Red Dawn" segue, there's really only one fitting response for this oath-breaking, cowardly parasite, and it does not involve debating something that is off the table and improper for the help to question anyway.

Meanwhile, Over at "The Newspaper of Record"
They should have waited for the report, which confirmed some of their criticisms but exonerated Mr. Holder and found no evidence for bizarre allegations that Operation Fast and Furious was a scheme designed to justify tougher federal gun controls, not penetrate drug cartels. [More]No one was vindicated of anything. "No evidence" must be viewed in light of such evidence being withheld.
And how do you "penetrate drug cartels" by letting unsurveilled guns walk, where the only part of the "design" that gives feedback is when they are found at Mexican crime scenes?
Mike is right.

This Day in History: September 21
