Live Unconsciously. Eat Dangerously.
That seems like an appropriate rewrite for the Panera Bread corporate slogan after reading their response to Liston. [More]
Saving Face
Yes, Shaneen Allen not doing jail time is good news for us all and wonderful news for her and her children. [More]
The prosecutor had to realize this was a political loser, but I guess they couldn't just let her go with an apology for bothering her. I can't help but wonder if a less sympathetic defendant would have faced a different outcome.
In a rational world, everyone who held -- and is still holding, with the mandated appearances -- this woman hostage for exercising her right would be doing time themselves.
I've asked her attorney, Evan Nappen, if she'll be a prohibited person when the smoke clears. My guess is "No," but this is New Jersey. I'll update this if/when I get a response.
UPDATE: Per Evan, via Facebook message:

‘Everytown’ marks political debut by endorsing safe candidates
Just as the billionaire-funded Astroturfers pose as the grassroots, the overabundance of safe selections, guaranteed to give them a track record of victories they can them claim as proof of their political wallop, is all part of the carefully-staged illusion-making. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner analysis notes perception only becomes reality if those who can see through the fraud don't do what they can to expose it.
International Day of Peace
Remember now, these are "progressives" we're dealing with... [More]
Very frustrating--I would love to do a column on this but I'm up to my neck in competing priorities. Maybe I can make this my JPFO Alert for tomorrow...

Cry 'Havoc!' and Let Slip the Dogs of Litigation
Grass Roots North Carolina demands "Shred or else." [More]
Legislative Gas-Passing
Honda's proposal would apply existing gun regulations, including criminal background checks, to all homemade firearms. [More]Every time I hear the name of this sulfurous stench in the nostrils of free people, I think of another stupid joke...
And yeah, you're right, it ain't funny.

Authorized Journalists,, Texas-Style
Texas House Speaker Joe Straus wants a committee of journalists to decide which reporters are “legitimate” so the Legislature can limit Capitol access to sufficiently apolitical reporters. [More]And who better than "real reporters/legitimate news media" to do that?
Straus, of course, is a "moderate Republican," that is, either a tool or the actual enemy.

But...But...But He's "A"-Rated and Endorsed...
There's a Carroll Quigley quote in here somewhere... [More]
For what it's worth, I approached this with the assumption that the author could be a Grimes man, but a quick look doesn't indicate that he's anything other than a no-compromise gun advocate. I don't have time to pursue that further, so if anyone has any light to add, please do.

We're the Only Ones Uneasy Enough
After that spectacle of deer-in-the-headlights incompetence the flacks tried to spin as "restraint" that we just witnessed at the White House, I can understand why. [More]

And the Crowd Went Wild!
Many people don’t want to speak with police about crimes, sometime because they don’t trust the police or they fear retaliation from criminals they're the ones who raised and sustain the perpetrators. [More]
There, I fixed it for you.
Say, that's some multitu... uh... thron... uh... pathetic handful.
