Vanderboegh Medical Update
I spoke with Mike this morning just as he was getting ready to undergo another CAT scan. He still sounds weak, albeit a bit stronger than when I spoke with him yesterday, which he attributes to "ups and downs." He's interested in what new is going on because he hasn't been able to get on his computer in the past two days--again a good reason not to leave comments on Sipsey Street Irregulars that he'll be forced to moderate.
We did manage to share a laugh, so at least he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
UPDATE: Good news in that his stomach checked out OK, now they're going to look at the brain to see if they can find a physiological clue to the debilitating vertigo.

We're the Only Ones Waiving Enough
The medical information waivers — which did not carry any indication that they were written by a law enforcement agency — were handed out last year to about 30 local pain doctors, who were asked to have patients sign them. [More]How about they start by getting members of their own department to sign them first?

So Much for Separation of Church and State
After at least two committee hearings on the issue, legislators have yet to explain why any person, other than law enforcement, needs to walk around the far-less-than-mean streets of Utah with a visible firearm.[More]Good one, Jean Hill, government liaison for the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City! We've seen time and again, the magic badge and costume is all it takes to calm the herd and get that cud regurgitation cycling naturally again.
Any costume, and even if those qualified to wear it are out of their minds.
And as for the "far-less than-mean streets," in 2010, Utah had 5,879 violent crimes reported in 2010, including 53 murders, 948 forcible rapes, 1,268 robberies and 3,610 aggravated assaults. Tell us where and when the next one will be, Jean, so we'll know not to walk there.
Then tell us how the Orwellian-named "Peace and Justice Ministry" advocates the ultimate use of armed force by approved costume-wearers to bend all people, including non-Catholics, to its will.
Carte Blanche
The nation's top drug and gun enforcement agencies do not track how often they give their informants permission to break the law on the government's behalf. [More]No, of course not. Because that would mean someone is tracking them.
Besides, we're the ones who need tracking.

Why look: When entrusted with political power, he also signed predator empowerment zone legislation.
And he's got an extended record of opposing concealed carry.
So naturally, he deserves an "A" rating. Because he says he went deer hunting with his grandfather. And besides, his opponent is really really REALLY anti-gun.

Detroit shows futility of relying on police for protection
Yet that’s been an official attitude exhibited by Detroit officials, from Mayor Bing’s participation in Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition, to Chief Godbee’s efforts on behalf of the globalist International Association of Chiefs of Police and his domestic stumping for a semi-auto ban, to his predecessor, Warren Evans, notorious for his own sexual scandal as well as widespread gross mismanagement and abuse, stepping down after his officers gunned down a seven-year-old girl.

Vanderboegh Medical Update
I just got off the phone with Mike. He's got vertigo and nausea to the point that he can't walk, and it sounded like a struggle for him just to have a brief phone conversation, and like our friend is feeling pretty miserable. He's going to the doctor tomorrow. Pending any sudden re-invigoration, I would not expect any posts today on Sipsey Street Irregulars.
I'd hold off on posting comments there and suggest you do the same---the last thing he'll need to face is a barrage of them to moderate when he makes his way back to the computer. But I'll bet it would do him good to get some "Get Well" cards:

GRPC Fast and Furious presentation promises further revelations
Workman shared with the audience how the story got started, including the foundational work published in this column and by citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh of the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog, and told them of his early and continued role in reporting on Fast and Furious, the abdication of most of the press in providing coverage, and the likelihood that further developments will unfold following release of the Office of Inspector General’s report, as well as if the Obama administration is replaced in the upcoming election.

By now, Sipsey Street Irregulars...uh...regulars have noticed no posts today, and the last one from yesterday was about it being a tough one for Mike. I just got off the phone with him. He's "woozy" and sounds it. The doctors say that's caused by the cancer meds, so they're taking him off them for a few days to see if that reduces the vertigo. As it is, it's impossible for him to drive in this condition.
He says he'll try to post something later tonight. I advised him to do so only if he feels up to it and not to strain his system trying to write when he ought to be resting.
If I hear more, I'll let you know.

It's Not Like We Didn't See THIS Coming
Gov. Jerry Brown outlaws open carrying of long guns in California cities [More]Ol' Gomer's pulling double-duty today.
I recall being "schooled" by a "political pragmatist" some time back for pointing out some inconvenient truths.
It seems those of us with "axes to grind" just don't get political nuances and the art of the possible.
Or maybe we do.
Yes, of course I know about Brown filing the McDonald amicus. As I said at the time:
AG Moonbeam isn't doing this because he likes us. California has a slew of anti-gun edicts he wants to position himself to defend.And now, of course, the same "activists" who loudly condemned open carry every chance they got are condemning the open carriers for being responsible for this new law, as opposed to blaming the ones who passed it.
Yeah, but if they hadn't exercised their rights, they wouldn't have been banned, goes the logic. What good such a right is that can't be exercised without being banned remains unstated.
Oh but now, since open carry is illegal and concealed carry is so tightly controlled, "shall issue" just got a real shot with the Supreme Court! At least that's the new silver lining being bandied about by those who understand things better than poor SNBIers like me (yes, that's actually used in some "pro gun" circles as a term of derision).
I guess if they ever agree to hear such a case and if the composition of the court hasn't changed by then...
