Daily Double
Mitt made an appearance just down the road from me. I wanted to go, but last night was the scheduled online test for Jeopardy. I always do real well watching, typically holding my own against most of the contestants (admittedly with no pressure), so the wife thought I should give it a try, and I was curious enough to want to see how I'd do.
Man, did I fall on my face. I doubt I answered even a third of the questions correctly, so there's no danger I made it to the audition phase. Some of the stuff, I just can't imagine who would know it. Others I knew but could not retrieve in time. But bottom line, I felt like this.
As for Mitt, there's no way I'd have been able to approach close enough to tell him what I expect in the form of a question anyway.

My friend Mike Vanderboegh: Winning friends and influencing people wherever he goes...:) [Read]
It seems like he had legitimate observations though, that merit discussion. I have no idea why they wouldn't allow them, especially since he has sourced knowledge about the inner workings of ATF from Bureau insiders and has done more reporting on that than anybody else in the room. And if you can't address the question he wanted to ask at a Gun Rights Policy Conference, where can you ask it?
As I wrote on Sunday, the conference was recorded. I'm trying to see if that exchange made the cut so I can listen to it for myself, and share it with you. We'll see.
In other Mike news, note he starts out with a health report update--he suffered a mini-stroke at the conference, the cause of the severe vertigo. I spoke with him an hour ago and he's going in for another scan as I write this.

This Day in History: October 10
I think it highly probable the Enemy will pursue this fall and Winter, especially during the latter, as they will not be under any apprehension of the force we shall then have in this quarter; and will be at liberty to make almost any detachments they please. The dissolution of half our Army last fall and Winter enabled them to make the Detachments they did against Charles Town, which has involved so many serious consequences, and the same cause will put them in a condition to push their operations or at least to attempt it, in the course of this, in the Southern States.

Obama website shows gun control never really went under the radar
In short, the president wants to enact a measure opposed by the Fraternal Order of Police because it could compromise ongoing criminal investigations, he wants to end private sales, he wants to mandate nonexistent technology (“Only Ones” exempted, of course, even though the genesis of “smart gun” research and development was to mitigate police “takeaway” incidents), and he wants the federal government to withhold 19th Century firearm technology from “We the People.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report shows what to expect once "flexibility" improves.

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'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.

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.

He's going to the doctor tomorrow. Pending any sudden re-invigoration, I would not expect any posts today on Sipsey Street Irregulars.

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.
