I logged in, but it's not letting me look at ratings in any other state race--only Ohio. I haven't noticed that limitation before. When I get to the map and select another state, it makes me log in again and then returns me to Ohio. Anybody else notice this, and is there a workaround?
Why they just don't make the information--including their archives--publicly available is something I've never understood. Maybe they're hoping we won't hold the duds against them.

Holder asking court to bow out on Fast and Furious leaves solution up to Romney
What that means is, the only hope those demanding truth and consequences for Fast and Furious will have is if Mitt Romney defeats Obama. Unfortunately, even that will give no guarantee, because the GOP challenger has thus far played coy on the matter, paying lip service along the lines of South Park’s Mr. Mackey (“Gunwalker’s bad, m’kay”), but revealing absolutely nothing about what he will do if given the power to make a difference in the way an executive branch abomination that has left hundreds of dead human beings in its wake is treated. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes we basically have one chance left--assuming the fix isn't already in.
Vanderboegh Medical Update
Just got off the phone with Mike. Nothing new to report except he says his stuttering has improved and he's waiting for the doctors to share their latest thoughts with him, so no word on whether a release is imminent or how long they intend to keep him.
Yeah. Let's Have That Conversation
And this is not our fault.
It's a Debate Party!
So if someone with bad intentions had shown up, would he have been as uselessly helpless as last time? [More]
We're the Only Ones Socially Networking Enough
The Dallas Morning News reports that her friend, George Pickens, 34, was upset about the officer’s testimony and found his photograph on Facebook while researching him online. [More]So the secret "Only One" has a Facebook account but if you tell anyone, that's your fault?
Who is he? I'd like to "share" his page.

There's No Subversive Like an Old Subversive
Maybe you have a constitutional right to have a cellphone with a pre-dialed 911 at your bedside. That might provide you a little better protection than a gun which you're not used to using. [APPLAUSE] [Watch]Yeah, unlike your orcs. Who'da thunk Nazgûl wore bow-ties under their black robes...?
That inane and unqualified opinion presented as expert simply because of who is saying it occurs around 36 + minutes into this video.
I love Dan Gross at the beginning claiming "Brady...has always been the voice of the American people..."
This is a long video, but it's important to watch it so you know what the enemy's designs are, and the lawyer group announced by Jonathan Lowy is one to be on guard against. It's also critically important to understand the "legal" rationale someone like Stevens uses to allow his fanaticism to trump his oath. Understand reversing Heller and McDonald are just "first step" goals. Howling of paranoia notwithstanding, these traitors, who would have us believe banning handguns in the home is "common sense" and "reasonable" and a "compelling state interest," want and intend to settle for nothing less than absolute, unchallengeable power.
The thing to remember, with special significance to keep in mind with what we're being told about November: Stevens was a gift from the Republicans.
UPDATE: Kurt weighs in.

We're the Only Ones Who Know What's Good for You Enough
The next day he was required to visit the Vice Principal's office where a uniformed cop was waiting there to give him the third degree. The administration claimed the drink violated the no-drugs-and-alcohol policy. The officer wrongly told the child that Kombucha was illegal and dangerous to mix with medicines or antibiotics - then asked him if and what medications he was taking. [More]As we all know, police undergo rigorous nutrition counseling training as well, in addition to all their other magic qualifications and skills.
That's a nice Catch-22 the public schools have imposed: Compel attendance and then require surrender of rights. It's not like an institution designed to indoctrinate inmates has any incentive to encourage thoughts of freedom.

This Day in History: October 16
At dawn on October 16, 1780, a war party of 270 Canadian Mohawks and Abenakis, led by British officer Lt. Houghton quietly moved into Royalton, a settlement of 20 to 25 cabins spread along both sides of the White River and its First Branch. [More]

Spouse of slain victim seeks disarmament law to prevent future shootings
For Wilson to solicit signatures for a petition that if enacted into state law will do none of what he promises, and will instead victimize innocent people and strip them of their rights without due process, in spite of his demonstrably false pledge to the contrary, is, candidly, dishonest and delusional. He may as well be proposing the forced disarmament of lottery winners and promising similar results. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a destructive way of dealing with grief.
Vanderboegh Medical Update
Just got off the phone with Mike. Despite an earlier hope, they still haven't really brought the hiccups under control. He says if it isn't one thing it's another, and when I asked him what they're talking about doing next he said "Rehab."
He did a brief post inquiring about how the Birmingham Gun Show went, and I always like to see him interested and engaged--he says he's bored out of his skull and is having trouble establishing internet connectivity in the hospital.

Listen to Last Night's "Armed American Radio"
Last night's Armed American Radio with host Mark Walters featured guests Alan Korwin of GunLaws.com and Rev. Kenn Blanchard (Black Man with a Gun). I joined in the third hour "Roundtable" along with George "Mad Ogre" Hill:

Loyalty Rewards
In the days that followed, Jeff was overcome with grief. He called ATF’s peer support contact in the evening who said she couldn’t speak and would call him back.I've never been a big believer in "grief counseling" and it certainly is evident this guy had many other severe issues requiring a much stronger intervention, if fixable at all. I just can't wrap my head around how someone could leave his children to deal and grow up with this, which probably reflects my good fortune more than anything else.
Jeff never received a return call. He later learned that she was at a bar drinking with other agents. [More]
That said, this does provide an object lesson for those of you who are enthusiastic parts of the machine: You don't think they really care about you, do you? And won't serve you up in a second if that's what they find expedient and advantageous...?
Q&A
Stand Your Ground laws reverse a centuries-old legal tenet...[More]
Oh, go bleat somewhere else, you...you anti-gun male. And if you're going to wear one of these things, stop popping it out in front of people and playing with it.
Natural law's a bit older than that, and fight or flight is a reaction best left to the one being threatened according to his or her mindset and level of preparedness, rather than some effete regressive getting the vapors over the fact that some of us realize bolting like a rabbit activates the chase instinct in predators on the hunt.
"Stand your ground" really only raises one question, which would weigh heavily in the mind of potential aggressors in a sane society, one that promoted the right and the means of individual self-defense:
Do I feel lucky?
