Trip Advisor

Just got off the phone with Mike. He is en route from Salt Lake City to New Mexico, and has had trouble posting updates on SSI, so he asked me to pass along his assurances that he is OK and having a very productive trip.

UPDATE: He had to cancel NM and just called me from Shooters Grill in Rifle CO ("Guns are Welcome on Premises"), and from there will begin the long trek home.

6/4 UPDATE from Mike:

Google refuses to let me into blogger while on the road without changing my password, which I refuse to do. All posts will have to wait until I get home, apparently. Made it to Hays KS tonight, will go on to Nashville tomorrow to drop off co-driver then will head home to Birmingham. Probably be home by Saturday and posting normally.

Chronic and Habitual

[Watch]

PJTV's Trifecta, with Scott Ott, Steve Green, and Bill Whittle, focuses on chronic and habitual practices.

States United offers clarification of sorts, that the "actors" were actually "focus group" participants, if you can believe them. After all their other deceptions, the case for why anyone should suddenly trust them with being forthright in their claims has not been made. After all, their permits clearly say "Actors are interviewed on camera in a fake gun store."

How such participants were identified and selected as suitable -- or rejected -- is not disclosed, nor is it clear if there are any outtakes that didn’t make the final cut. I'd also be curious to find out if they just gave of their time out of the goodness of their hearts, or if any form of making things worth their while was offered.

For some reason, this exchange comes to mind:

I'm not sure what more I can find out, but I'm still looking into this from various angles.
