A Temporary Inconvenience

Citizens in Luzerne County, PA have had their rights put on hold:
Because of county personnel cuts, the Luzerne County Sheriff’s Department will not accept gun permit applications for two weeks.

We're the Only Ones Barring Enough

Should Burris appear in Washington without that certification, armed police officers stand ready to bar him from the Senate floor, said a Democratic official briefed on Senate leaders' plans.
George Wallace was a democrat when he barred blacks from entering a public building too, wasn't he?

As much as I don't like Burris, I'd urge him to defy them. After all, Blago hasn't been convicted, and he's actually within the legitimate scope of his powers to make this appointment...

Can you imagine the urban reaction if Burris got arrested for resisting the "Only Ones"?

Shattered hope can bring about some pretty terrible change...

The Next Generation

Anatoli Isaikin, the Director General of the state arms exporter Rosoboronexport, met recently with the creator of the Kalashnikov rifles, the head of the Izhmash Company, Mikhail Kalashnikov. The meeting’s objective was to look into developing a new generation of AK-100 series rifles. [More]

There, there.

You know what you blokes need?

Collars.

If you just obey, everything will be fine.

We promise.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Electronic monitoring has been used to track wildlife, stolen cars and criminals confined to their homes and jobs, but in what may be a sign of things to come, politicians in one British community propose to fasten monitoring devices to some of the local senior citizens to monitor their movements, cut costs and -- presumably -- keep the old-timers out of trouble...

Oh, I get it.

Collars of obedience.

Paul Mulshine, Authorized Journalist

The type of person who can't even keep track of the number of times the letter "N" appears in a two-syllable word is not the type of person who is going to offer great insight into complex issues. [More]
I'm professional and you're not. And you can't even pronounce "pundit."

So there.

My, aren't we sophisticated and superior?

That must be why I've compiled an entire category of "Authorized Journalist" examples detailing bias and ignorance about the gun issue that is repeated over and over and...

And tell me that's the only issue where they push an agenda and get it so consistently wrong. You know, what this elitist characterizes as "doing what we in fact do amazingly well, which is to quickly analyze and report on complex public issues."

You credentialed flacks for the police state had your chance and blew whatever trust you had along with the establishment rulers you serve. Watchdogs turned into lapdogs a long time ago.

And now the fascist dinosaur propagandists want a bailout? At our expense?

Why not? It's been a public/private partnership all my life anyway, at least ideologically. Just one thing: As long as we're considering a form of national socialist journalism, can we call the resulting enterprise something like "Der Stürmer"?

The Distinguished Gentleman from Illinois

Burris sought death for innocent man [More]
And naturally:
A grand jury later indicted four sheriff's deputies and three former county prosecutors for their roles in the Cruz case. They were eventually acquitted.
Such as these deem themselves our rulers. Such as these don't want us to be armed.

This Day in History: January 3

General Washington followed his success at Trenton with another on January 3, 1777, when, again crossing the Delaware, he outmarched General Charles Cornwallis, and approaching from the rear defeated three British regiments and three companies of light cavalry at Princeton, New Jersey...[More]
