Signs Looking Good?
Ulsterman(interrupts) —Staying with Congressman Issa. Can you just say straight on if you believe he will follow through on bringing a special prosecutor to investigate Gunrunner? Just a simple yes or no on that please…I never "rest assured." Particularly when I have no experience with the principals. But I do have hope.
Insider: That kind of thing will take more than just Darrell Issa. Good news is, it’s forming right now. I’ve told you that already and you have no reason to doubt it. The negotiations are currently underway for a special prosecutor and the signs are looking very-very good on that, which is a huge development for all of this – for what we have been working toward. But let’s not get into more details on that just yet – I don’t intend to help fuck this one up. Just rest assured it’s moving along, and at a much faster pace than I would have thought possible just a month ago. [More]

‘Lone wolf’ attack will produce howls for ‘gun control’
We know that the administration is hostile to small arms, at least in private hands. We know that political opponents of the administration are deemed haters.

Now THAT'S Funny Right There
As a boy, I always thought G.I.Joes were suspect for that reason--we didn't have the term "action figure" back then, and the kid in the neighborhood who had one was, like 11, a year younger than me, and he watched Jonny Quest, which, face it, was for children, so he was suspect too. That I generally managed to find an excuse to be in the room when my little brother was watching it was entirely coincidental.
As for the neighbor kid's G.I. Joe? A stake, a blindfold and a Daisy was about the only thing we could figure to do with it that was any fun.
