UPDATE: I've tried everything I know to convert this .swf file into something I can post to You Tube-- admittedly, I don't know all that much, as I've had no luck and much time I can't afford lost.  If you know how to do it, please do so and send me the usable file (dcodrea@hotmail.com).

UK and US Hoplophobes: “Only Cowards Carry”

There’s a Guns Are for Cowards Facebook page, dedicated to the proposition that if you believe in owning one, you’re a gutless yellow-belly. And The Daily Kos insists “Only cowards carry guns.” No less an authority than “The Gunman” actor (and impossible-for-non-elites-to-get carry permit holder) Sean Penn dubbed guns “cowardly killing machines” (albeit in his case, you’d think a wife-beater would know).

My latest TTAG offering notes on top of being under-endowed and racist, we who believe in the right to keep and bear arms must be a pretty craven bunch as well. That is, if you can believe Opposite Day "progressives."

The New Taliban

See Stone Mountain, GA, while you can.
I was reading Mike's announcement about the Birmingham City Council meeting he plans  to speak at, and saw the link about one of the "political thugs" advocating "cultural cleansing."  Funny thing about that:
Matthews' "Outcast Voters League" ... held a vigil in memory of murdered Sanford, Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
Really? That was the verdict of a jury, SHAMwiki?

Anyway, Mike just called me from outside chambers and he's waiting for the speaker's list so he can sign up and go about the proper task of chastising the New Taliban. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. Central and is streamed, so we can watch it live. Unless I'm misreading the agenda, it looks like they reserve the "Request from the Public" segment until just before adjournment, probably to discourage comments they can't control by wearing people who just want to speak for a few minutes down.

I hope he's given enough time to speak his entire piece before allotted minutes are up.

UPDATE: Mission accomplished and posted, beginning at 2:33:57:
I'll see what I can do about getting just Mike's segment up on my You Tube account.
