Animal Private Parts Exposed

Animals filmed for television wildlife documentary series are denied their right to privacy, a leading U.K. academic claimed in a report that emerged Friday. [More]
I was all set to say something about denying animal privacy tonight on the grill when I looked up the leading academic.

His specialty is sitcoms.

Sounds to me like somebody's goofing with somebody here.

Either that or he--and the people who employ him--are insane.

GRE Round Up for Apr. 30

There's some good stuff being turned out by the Gun Rights Examiners. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

We're the Only Ones Lying Enough

The jury found the officer, Patrick Pogan, 24, guilty of filing a criminal complaint that contained false statements concerning the cyclist, Christopher Long, including an assertion that Mr. Long knocked Mr. Pogan down by intentionally steering his bicycle into him. [More]
What did we just get done saying about lying?

The good thing about the dismissal on other charge is, had Long been the one to "recklessly assault" Pogan, I doubt he'd be convicted too. I'd actually bet on it.

That's the thing about tolerating a culture of lying. Those who can bring themselves to lie for you when your butt is on the line can also bring themselves to lie against you when it's their butts...

Hell of a thing, not knowing when the backup you're relying on, at times with your life, may turn on you and opt for self-preservation. Can you imagine dying and your supposed "friends" cover up the circumstances? If they'd do that low, what wouldn't they cover up, especially if someone who means nothing to them is involved?

Kind of an unintended consequence, wouldn't you say? The cost that comes permanently attached to the perceived benefits of the "Only Ones" culture...you can trust no one?

Talk about miserable. It's enough to give someone an attitude.

The incumbent, Shelley Berkley, has earned an "F" rating from Gun Owners of America, and that alone should motivate gun-owning constituents to pink slip her.

The Newsweek Challenge

More of the conflationist nonsense-with-a-purpose we've come to expect from Newsweek. How about instead of making their entire focus those who "hate" ATF, they use those journalist credentials and resources to look at just why that might be the case.

My comment:
Here's what's really "under the radar," and a typical example of how agenda-driven media statists have shed the time-honored role of journalist watchdogs over government to become its guard dogs instead: You Isikoff, and you Hosenball--why not investigate CleanUpATF.org, a website run by bureau whistleblowers detailing corruption and incompetence? Why the media blackout on insiders who are documenting abuses?

Why not look into their charges that "Managers, Counsel, Internal Affairs and staff of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATFE or 'ATF') have repeatedly given false testimony, concealed substantial waste, fraud and abuse, abused their lawful authority, and waged systematic campaigns of reprisal against their own employees that dare to speak out." ?

Or do you expect us to believe this is the first you six-figure (plus?) professionals with a huge news organization and research staff have heard of this?

While you're at it, tell us about the Good O' Boy Roundup. Then tell us why one of the foremost statisticians, Dr. Fritz Scheuren testified to a House committee that the NFRTR (firearms transfer record) "is insufficient for criminal proceedings" and then square that with former ATF NFA branch chief Thomas Busey claiming (on video) "Let me say that when we testify in court, we testify that the data base is 100 percent accurate. That's what we testify to, and we will always testify to that. As you probably well know, that may not be 100 percent true."

In short, how about some journalism from you highly-paid hacks instead of the shallow propaganda attacks conflating Americans who believe in the right to keep and bear arms with domestic terrorists that has become your trademark?
When they don't look into any of this, what will that tell us?

The entire fascist media alliance is pounding on that "patriots = haters" meme for all they're worth, like they want to use it to prime the American public for...what, exactly?

Our best defense against that is to go on the offense with the truth.
