He had a rough night last night and is exhausted. Evidently he got up in the middle of the night completely out of it and was taking tubes out of himself and wandering the hall. The good news is they did some sort of test on him and he's not leaking.
It's a tough balance--he wants back into things and that acts as a great motivator, but there is only so much he can do--a spirit is willing but flesh is weak kind of dilemma.
I repeat: Hold up on emails and Sipsey Street comments. The guy already has more than enough to exhaust himself with.

I don't know if I was born with a tendency to be this way, or if it was an acquired disposition. All I know is, I don't see why I should be forced to change.

I spoke with Mike again this morning when he called me from the Intensive Care Unit at Trinity Medical Center in Birmingham.
He took four steps yesterday and will be walking again today. In a milestone for gastrointestinal surgery recovery, he did want me to share that he has managed to...uh...expel methane twice now, and he dedicated the first occurrence to Eric Holder and the second to Little Jimmy Vann.
And he read a newspaper for the first time after surgery. He hurt himself laughing when he found out Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered U.S. Marines in Afghanistan to disarm for his visit, and wonders if perhaps he's feeling a bit guilty about that Constitutional oath he took...
Now for my reminder: Hold up on the emails and trying to post comments over at Sipsey Street. Have mercy on the guy, because you know he'll try to address every one, and we need to help him rest and recover. Our inputs can wait.

Battle Raging
I'm just going to repro the GOA email alert in its entirety:
Gun Owners of America
Battle Raging on Capitol Hill with regard to Concealed Carry
If you have ever questioned whether your emails and phone calls make a difference, then stop wondering.
Your activism on the concealed carry bills in the U.S. Senate is doing a bang-up job!
Gun Owners of America has been working with the sponsors of the soon-to-be-introduced Thune-Vitter reciprocity bill, and we can report that there are at least 15 cosponsors on the bill!
By contrast, the Begich-Manchin Democrat compromise bill (S. 2188) has only one additional cosponsor.
Senators John Thune (R-SD) and David Vitter (R-LA) plan to introduce their bill early next week -- and thus, their bill won’t receive a number until then.
But we need a whole new round of emails to get even more original cosponsors on their bill. Again, the Thune-Vitter legislation will not only allow permit holders to carry out-of-state, but NON-PERMIT HOLDERS from constitutional carry states, as well.
Sadly, we have been receiving emails from our grassroots activists showing that the NRA is taking aim at our position on these two bills.
Hence, we would like to make the following points in order to prevent any confusion.
1. NRA POSITION: “There is no Thune-Vitter bill because one hasn’t been introduced. Therefore, it is impossible to ‘support the Thune-Vitter bill rather than the Democrat-sponsored S. 2188.’”
GOA RESPONSE: As stated above, Senators Thune and Vitter are currently gaining cosponsors before the actual introduction of their bill. This is a common practice that legislators use in order to make a “big splash” with a large number of original cosponsors. For anyone who works on Capitol Hill to claim ignorance of this process is, quite honestly, laughable.
2. NRA POSITION: The Begich-Manchin bill “does not undermine or abandon permitless carry. Groups suggesting this are simply lying or incapable of reading the bill. Residents of Vermont, or any other ‘Constitutional Carry’ state, who wish to carry out of state could simply obtain a nonresident permit (just as they do now) and enjoy the benefits of S. 2188.”
GOA RESPONSE: Subsection (c)(2)(B) of S. 2188 requires that anyone benefiting from carry reciprocity possess “a valid license or permit that ... permits the individual to carry a concealed firearm.”
In other words, S. 2188 fails to protect NON-PERMIT HOLDERS in constitutional carry states -- and these gun owners represent the MAJORITY of law-abiding citizens who can carry.
There are currently five states where citizens can carry without the government’s permission: Vermont, Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, and most of Montana. And the South Dakota Governor currently has a bill sitting on his desk to enable citizens to carry guns without prior government permission.
In addition to all of this, there are eleven states which are seriously considering “constitutional carry” legislation: Colorado, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Virginia.
Many more states will move in this direction after the beginning of the year.
But what if the federal government holds up an enormous “carrot” for pro-gun activists to obtain permits, irrespective of whether their states require it? The answer is that the incentive for these activists to push for “constitutional carry” will vanish.
S. 2188 will snub non-permit holders in “constitutional carry” states, while the Thune-Vitter bill will grant reciprocity to them.
Unless one thinks that New York’s crime problems result from “vicious killers” from Vermont, Alaska and the other constitutional carry states, then there shouldn’t be a problem enabling average citizens to carry concealed without permits. After all, criminals don’t line up for carry licenses.
3. NRA POSITION: “S. 2188 would not ... impose national standards.”
GOA RESPONSE: Well, GOA never said it did. And thankfully, this is an issue where GOA can claim victory, as previous reciprocity bills over the past several years have included such “national standards.” But this is just another example of how your activism makes a real difference!
Both Begich and Manchin HAVE YET TO CAST A PRO-GUN VOTE during this Congress. (You can check this out by viewing their voting records on the GOA website.) So why would we trust them to do the right thing on gun legislation? Is this just an attempt to reelect Democrats and keep Harry Reid in power?
ACTION: Please click here to urge your U.S. Senators to cosponsor the Thune-Vitter bill over the Begich-Manchin bill.

He says it hurts like hell.
He wanted to know what was happening in the general world and I told him about yesterday's GRE post, what I'm planning for today, and last night's "360" report.
He had to go because he can only take so much conversation before getting fatigued.

I passed along the announcement last night that Darrell Issa would be on Anderson Cooper's "360" to talk about the Fast and Furious investigation.

Next, Issa talked about it and his investigation with Cooper:
I don't really see anything new in any of this. I don't see an accusation that crimes were committed by federal officials. I don't see an announcement that contempt and other charges are going to be filed.
If all people ever see is an endless loop with no perceived end, they'll lose interest. Who wants to just sit there and watch Congress spin their wheels?

Issa Talks Gunwalker Tonight on "360"
This email just came in from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Press Secretary:
A Flaming Vigilante
WarOnGuns Correspondent Ned submitted this as a comment to today's "Gratifying Colin" post. I think it is on target and witty as hell, and deserves standalone recognition:
In other news, two people trapped in a wrecked bus perished when the bus they were traveling in caught fire after a traffic accident. It is alleged that an untrained civilian was unable to contain the flames with the fire extinguisher on the bus. The vigilante was held for questioning, before being released when it was discovered that no laws were broken.
The legislature immediately responded by introducing a bill forbidding anyone but trained firefighters to operate any piece of fire fighting equipment. The bill forbids civilians from either purchasing, owning, or using, fire extinguishers.
The Editorial Staff here at the Mushhead Anti-Republic Journal applauds this tardy effort by the state legislature, and encourages them to pass this important bill to maintain the public safety.
A surviving passenger opined: "I begged the man to wait for the authorities. Instead, he acted in vigilante fashion, claiming he was trying to keep the flames from igniting the fuel tank so the trapped people could be extricated so the whole bus wouldn't go up in flames. If only he'd waited for trained firefighters to respond, there would obviously have been much less loss of life. I mean, it took the Sheeple County fire department under fifteen minutes to respond after the fire started. I blame all the fatalities solely on this man's actions. He just refused to listen to reason."
State Assemblyman U. R. Joshin proudly announced: "It's time to place the safety of our citizens squarely where it belongs - on the shoulders of our paid experts. After all, that's what taxes are for."
Burn victim Colin Colin, injured in the 2009 U.R.U. arson fire in which 30 other perished, stated: "This is a win for people and public safety. Only experts should carry or use a device designed for saving lives."
Survivors of the accident are contemplating a lawsuit against the bus line for allowing access to a fire extinguisher by people other than trained professionals.
Veteran agent: Feinstein did not act on ATF abuse, corruption evidence
And Feinstein, who according to Cefalu’s account, washed her hands of the matter, is no exception, saying “perhaps mistakes were made, but I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes you don't have to hunt all that far and all the blood didn't get washed off.

I just got off the phone with him. He's sitting up now. He's also feeling the effects of the medications, but is lucid, engaged and interested in knowing what's going on. He passed on some Gunwalker-related info I can't go into (yet), but it shows even from his hospital bed in ICU he continues to shame the major media.
I started to recommend he take it easy, that the fight will still be here for him to return to when he recovers, and then stopped myself and acknowledged to him that fight is what invigorates and keeps ornery cusses like us going.
He was happy to hear about the well-wishes and prayers from many of you.

The Slippery Slope
Milwaukee police want to take away the right to legally carry a concealed weapon from anyone who has three misdemeanor convictions over a five-year period. This strikes us as a reasonable idea that state lawmakers should embrace. Frequent brushes with the law, even when relatively minor, indicate a pattern of recklessness that doesn't earn one the right to pack a firearm. [More]Well, hell--using that "logic," wouldn't it be even more reasonable to make them prohibited persons altogether? As a matter of fact, isn't it time we got those who give away baby bunnies and chicks at Easter in a manner noncompliant with WI laws off our streets for good?
Besides, "The issue is personal for [Chief] Flynn."
I'd say so. He did swear an oath to the Constitution.
I guess it doesn't occur to him and the authority worshipers at the Journal-Sentinel that it might just be personal for some of us, too?
From the Ministy of [Elkhart] Truth
Regulating whether guns are allowed in public places is not a Second Amendment issue...[More]Well, alrighty then. I'm certainly glad we've got that settled.
I have to admit a grudging sense of awe at the chutzpah of these regressive pinheads to pack so much deception and raw nitwittery into one brief editorial--and then pass it off as "Truth."

Blogger Vanderboegh recovering from surgery
“The pain goes back and forth,” he related, saying hospital staff plans to sit him up for the first time today. The surgery required removing part of his pancreas and, part of his esophagus, and left him with 20% of his stomach, which is expected to stretch out. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes Mike's spleen is still intact.
Gunning for the Easter Bunny
Why is Snuffy appearing de-frocked for photo-ops? And if he's presenting himself as a "civilian," why include his title? [Read]
I can see a priest complaining to his congregation about them engaging in rituals that have nothing to do with why Catholics celebrate Easter. Baskets full of jelly beans, chocolate rabbits, colored eggs and the like always struck me as absurd ways to commemorate it, even as a kid, not that I said "No" to getting mine. Besides, we all know what's really important is marshmallow Peeps.
And yeah, even I admit that obviously cartoonish toy guns in Easter baskets seems more than a tad bizarre, but leave it to this nitwit to assign a causal connection between that and Chi-Town criminal violence.

Vanderboegh Out of Surgery-Full Recovery Expected
I just got off the phone with Mike's wife Rosey.
The surgery was completed this afternoon. Mike is now conscious and talking.
I'm not going to go into the details she explained to me because it's not necessary--suffice it to say they are anticipating a full recovery. She expects they will keep him in ICU through to next Monday as opposed to moving him to another room because staffing levels drop over the weekend.
She also very much appreciates the prayers and well-wishes I shared with her that have been communicated to me.
When I spoke with Mike this morning I had to be careful not to overdo telling the guy how much I appreciate him, because I didn't want to add to his worries by making it sound like I was saying goodbye. And afterward I regretted not doing so, because what if I was?
This really is the best possible news.
If I get any relevant updates, I'll of course share them.

Researchers say don’t count on Constitution to stop Arms Trade Treaty
And then remember that if the Constitution was the final word in the way our government conducts itself, there would be no federal firearms prohibitions in the first place. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there are those who think they don't need no stinkin' ratification.
Veritas
In fact, as shown in the video, Project Veritas investigators insisted on presenting identification in order to vote, but were told repeatedly, "you don't need it." [More]And while you're at it, forget the Form 4473...

Brooking No Competition?
A 26-year-old Texan was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for smuggling guns into Mexico for drug cartels, federal prosecutors said. [More]So...it IS a crime. You mean he couldn't just say "Mistakes were made" and shuffle some managers around?

Message from Mike
At this moment, I am just overcome with sentiment for all of the support and trust you have given me and words are so inadequate to the occasion. So all I can say is thanks, and I'll see you on the other side of this thing, no matter how it turns out. It is, in any case, all in God's hands. [More]I spoke with him earlier this morning. When I hear something, you'll hear something.

Here's a conundrum for her, especially seeing as how that foreign policy she's laying cornerstones for involves embracing multicultural diversity: What's her position on a woman's right to choose gendercide?

When Only Ones and Authorized Journalists Collide
Bay Area News Group reporter Doug Oakley said he was shaken by the 12:45 a.m. Friday knock on the door of his Berkeley home. [More]
Ah, tolerant, progressive Berkeley. Keep editorializing that these guys should be the "Only Ones." Your masters are counting on your useful idiocy in that regard.
Hey, Oakley had it easy--he just had Sergeant Mary show up, and the press guys all know her. My wife had to deal with two black and whites when they came to check me out.
But then, I'm only an "Unauthorized Journalist."
What's Brown and Smells Like Chris?
Not surprisingly, Phillips spent the interview promoting the right-wing conspiracy theory that Fast and Furious was a plot to promote gun control instead of a failed law enforcement investigation. [More]Actually, that's not where that opinion originated. But then, lil' Chrissie know that.
Gee, I wonder why he acts like he doesn't?
It is curious, though, why he would continue working for a "viciously mean" paranoid who abuses his employees. He evidently gets some sort of sick fulfillment from it.

Justice Department Voter ID opposition glaringly inconsistent with gun stance
So the question now becomes why is the head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division tolerating, allowing and insisting on discrimination against minorities in general and Hispanics in particular when it comes to exercising their Second Amendment-recognized right to keep and bear arms? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report points out an undeniable policy of official discrimination--that is, assuming you buy into the administration's lies in the first damn place. Also get the latest on "Project Guntalker" from Armed American Radio, and then don't forget to say your prayers.
We're the Only Ones Untested Enough
Hundreds, or even thousands, of drunk driving convictions could be overturned because the San Francisco Police Department has not tested its breathalyzers, officials said Monday...the coordinators were apparently just too lazy to perform the test required every 10 days. [More]And the evil parasites would let someone else pay the price for their laziness.
It's a top-down institutionalized public trough kind of thing. Their former chief was too lazy to calibrate herself.

We're the Only Ones Garritized Enough
Instead, when a shooting incident occurs, an officer's attorney is sent to the scene, and SDPD "ask[s] the attorney if the officer is willing to participate in a voluntary walk-through of the incident scene and provide a voluntary statement about the incident" (emphasis in original). If the officer agrees, the officer participates in both with an attorney present. [More]Sweet.
Might be something to remind them of just after being asked "What have you got to hide if you haven't done anything wrong" and just before telling them you have nothing to say without your attorney.

We're the Only Ones Accomodating Enough
A knife-wielding attacker stabbed a judge and shot a sheriff's deputy with the officer's own gun in a county courthouse in Washington state on Friday, prompting a lockdown of schools and government buildings as police and SWAT teams searched for the attacker. [More]I initially didn't want to make this an "Only Ones" post because anyone can be sucker-punched without warning. Then again, had a discreetly armed citizen been present, there's a good chance the assailant could have been stopped and the lockdowns and continued endangerment could have been avoided.

Countdown to Liquor Day
Fox, 39, was drinking with friends in the San Diego County town of Potrero on Tuesday when he set off the device, sending shrapnel into his trailer...[More]The punch line:
I just wish that the damn thing had hit me instead of her, you know?Yeah, I know. It was obviously the damn thing's fault.
Sounds like he hasn't learned a damn thing.
We're the Only Ones Gesturing Enough
Police Chief Patrick Berarducci, 61, has been ordered to serve a four-week, 160-hour, unpaid suspension for making a sexual hand gesture during a Jan. 26 mandatory meeting with dispatchers. [More]Ouch--that's gotta hurt.
But at least the chief is keeping us all safe from middle-schoolers making hand gestures.
Speaking of stupid gestures...
When Seconds Count...
A retired school librarian and his brother-in-law held three burglars at gunpoint until police could get to a property on West Kearney Street near West Bypass on Monday morning. [More]Wait just a dang minute here--I thought the cops wouldn't be able to tell who the good guys are in situations like this--at least that's the excuse I keep hearing from those who don't want us defending ourselves with firearms...
We're the Only Ones Taxing Enough
The sheriff says, if voters next month approve a half-percent sales tax for law enforcement needs in Greene County, he will be able to hire more patrol deputies for rural areas of the county. [More]They still won't be able to do a damn thing to protect you, and you'll still be on your own when it comes to that, but at least you'll have less money and they'll have more...
