This Day in History: March 28
At the same time, however, Brig. Gen. Marion attacked and badly cut up his rear guard as it forded the Sampit River, since the bridge had already been partially destroyed by the partisans to impede the British as they retired. His own horse shot out from under him, Lt. Col. Watson then opened up his cannon on Brig. Gen. Marion's men and drove them back. [More]

Key question overlooked in debate over Bloomberg 'Average Joe gun owner' ad
Yet doing a similar search for MAIG's new country star yields pretty much nothing at this writing to help us learn more about him, and in a celebrity-obsessed culture (just look at some of the features being spotlighted around the column on this page), that's, to put it mildly, curious.

Press rushes to ‘exonerate’ DHS as OIG report raises more questions than answers

DHS Fast and Furious OIG report fed to Los Angeles Times, not to public
There is nothing about this report on the DHS “Press releases” page; nor on the DHS blog; nor does anything appear in the DHS/OIG press release page; there is nothing about it on their Border Security page; and importantly, it is not yet linked to on the OIG Reports: Fiscal Year 2013 page. Of equal concern is the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform “Releases” page, which shows no awareness of the DHS OIG report, let alone any responsive activity scheduled to question it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes we're evidently just supposed to take The Times' word for it that Nappy knew nothing.
