We're the Only Ones Cheating in More Ways Than One Enough

An off-duty cop kills a man who finds the cop sleeping with his wife. Again, the force exonerates its own without charges being filed. [More]

Yes, they think they can take it all.

And we're supposed to believe primae noctis is a fiction...well, maybe first is...

Checkpoint Charlie

Mostly trucks were being checked...[Read]

Mostly.

They came first for the trucks...

What are your options for refusing if they come for you?

Will they make you go through this?

What have you got to hide?

Squeeze.

And remember: They hate us because we're free!

[Via cycjec]

We're the Only Ones...

...Agreeable Enough

...Secretive Enough

...Playing "Cash Cab" Enough

...Reckless Enough

...Helping Ourselves Enough

...Giving You an Earful Enough

[Via FFFW] 

So Will They Be Having...

...a bear buy-back? [Read]

Longenecker's latest...[Read]

Truth in Government Advertising

Hell, once they can get you to obey as a conditioned response, why wouldn't they automatically think this? [More]

I Don't Want Her, You Can Have Her

Women accused of hiding merchandise in body fat [More]

I hope they used gloves to retrieve it, and that they're not going to restock it on the shelves.

Why am I reminded that Shar Peis should be frequently bathed lest the bacteria that collects in the folds of their skin begins to fester and smell?

Class, thy name is  Ailene.

You too,  Shmeco (not to be confused with Groucho, Harpo and Chico...?)

Mr. Godfrey? Your cue:

I get dizzy

I get numb-o

when I'm dancing with my jum-jum-jumbo..

It's OK

It doesn't matter. [Read]

He doesn't mean it anyway. Neither of them do. 

Besides, it's not like Establishment "left" and "right" isn't just a sleight-of-mind game anyway.

Can corrupt government legitimately decide who it allows to keep and bear arms?

This is not “just a few bad apples,” as the ubiquitous police [state] apologists would have us believe. For every one exposed, there’s an entire support system of co-workers, superiors and subordinates who witness attitudes,  behaviors and actions every day and keep silent, going along to get along, to protect their own place at the table and/or activities.  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a whole rotten barrel.

Also see more citizen disarmament foolishness in Portland, and join a celebration.

The Finest Manufactured Threats Money Can Buy

The evidence presented in the FBI affidavit offers no reason to believe that Mohamud intended to harm anyone before he fell under the influence of two undercover operatives from the Bureau's Homeland Security theater troupe. [More]

So they set him up, they got him and it worked.  It was in all the papers.

Kind'a like these guys.

Nice to see government doing something right for a change.

We're the Only Ones "Every Good Boy Does Fine" Enough

“We cannot rule out that he was used by the enemy, but he has been a border policeman for three years, and had been a good boy"... [More]

"Good boy."

Isn't that what you say when a dog performs well?

[Via Ed M]

A Bear Bones Budget

Wait a minute...stuffed bears don't have bones... [Read]

What Duty to Protect?

The lawsuit's allegations against UMW include:

Negligent security measures.

Failure to properly monitor the parking deck, which the complaint says UMW officials should have known to be dangerous.

Failure to warn students of dangers in the parking deck.

Failure to install and operate security cameras.

Failure to train security guards, campus police officers and others on how to report, investigate and prevent sexual assaults.

Failure to properly investigate complaints of rape and provide adequate security.

I'm not persuaded.

Now if the lawsuit had focused on prohibiting the tools of defense, I might be more sympathetic.

Besides, even if the campus security alert system had been activated, why wouldn't people assume they were just being punked again? I assume everyone there is familiar with "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"...?

If it's any consolation, miss,  I'm pretty sure campus safety expert Colin Goddard would tell you you did the right thing.
