In a dark corner of the gun nut Right-wing blogosphere

I musk ask, where do people like David Codrea come from? [More]
Hudson, Ohio, Chauncey. An old Underground Railroad town.

He's used this for the springboard.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

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.

UPDATE: I heard more.

Black intellectual bigotry endangering poor urban blacks by disparaging guns

Read it for yourself and marvel at the subtle metaphors that include such lines of genius as…no, they really can’t be reprinted here. Just go there and click back when finished. A lesser human being could find themselves arrested for such “creative writing,” or at least earn themselves a well-deserved spot on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Watch” website (sorry, evidently “stab[bing] a Jew” and “p***[ing] on a blond head” doesn’t qualify.

It's much more dangerous than that.

The objection will be sustained unless the ultimate judges overrule the ones making it.

Mighty Morphin Power Politics

Looks like Rita Repulsa's got a new gig in a European royalty-style political marriage...along with the same quid pro quo they enjoyed from the Clintons...[Read]

Thing about the Sabans--they made their fortune off of lowest common denominator drek.

It could definitely taint the Univision F&F efforts as "controlled opposition." But it would require a smoking gun to prove it.

By the Numbers

You may not like the way this guy expresses himself, so feel free to come up with an explanation that makes sense of the numbers. And ask yourself if things continue to devolve what will happen to all the "advancements." [Read]

Smitten with Mittens

This Day in History: October 5

As they approached, one of the sentinels did detect them and fired upon them. They rushed towards the Loyalists, screaming like Indians, and firing their muskets. The Loyalists must have thought they were outnumbered and fled into the night. By the time the small group of Patriots reached the fire there was not a Loyalist to be found, but they could be heard running through the woods. [More]

The Gift of the Magi

Free speech is a “gift given to us by the [Universal] Declaration of Human Rights,” said Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations Jan Eliasson during a press conference on October 2nd at UN headquarters in New York.  It is “a privilege,” Eliasson said, “that we have, which in my view involves also the need for respect, the need to avoid provocations.” [More]

Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists

Further breaches of integrity were evidenced when the report demolished a Fortune article claiming gunwalking had not taken place that the media had previously picked up on to derail further inquiry. Earlier, a Joint Congressional Report contained allegations their reporter may have been given information illegally obtained from the personnel file of a key whistleblower. [More]

Hey, Mr. President...

I hate to break it to you
but defending Eric Holder
will sink you Fast and Furious


Forgetting the political message for a moment, these guys are quite good as a band.  This is a well-composed, performed and catchy song. The more I hear it, the better I like it.

Push It Over the Top

Don't let it fail so close to the goal.

UPDATE: 
Looks like we have made our goal!
Thank you all for your pledges and support, but I ask you to take the next few hours and tell friend about our project and get them to donate, too.  Every dollar over the goal helps the project. We have to pay a commission to Kickstarter and Amazon so the project net is 9% less the gross - that a sizable chunk of change that we won't have for the project.
For those that joined the project in the past 24-hours.  We have asked everyone to "double and match" - double your pledge and have a friend match you.  That way we will ensure enough headroom to adjust to those that cancel or reduce their pledges to stay atop our goal.
Thank you!

Anticipation

It is anticipated that an analysis of the debate will be released within three hours of its completion, providing the overnight shifts in news rooms across the country plenty to write about. [More]
What, did both these guys break your machine?

This Day in History: October 4

The corn you desire, we could furnish when the new crops come in, fully, if water transportation can be found; if not, we shall be able only to send you what lies convenient to the southern boundary, in which neighborhood the crops have been much abridged by a flood in Roanoke. We have no rice. [More]
