I’m proud that, for 3 years or more, I’ve been able to avoid the cluster-eff that air travel in America has become. I don’t fear crashing planes, terrorists on planes, or anything remotely similar. I don’t fear, but resent with every fiber in my body, the feeble ministrations of the TSA [...]
Apparently Hillary Clinton is mathematically challenged, and stubbornly refuses to admit that she’s lost the Democratic nomination. There is simply no way that even given 100% of the remaining delegates, she could pull out the victory.
That’s assuming one plays by the rules. But this is the self-aggrandizing junior senator from New York, whose [...]
A Year After Killings Few Question Gun Laws
I question the gun laws.
I question why students at VA Tech were not allowed to carry their own protection.
I question why gun free zones aren’t, except for those with ill intent.
I question how any governmental unit can keep us safe.
I question why freedom for hunters is equated with [...]

The Tea Party ‘07 fundraiser for Ron Paul having come to an end, I’ve replaced the TP banner with one for downsizedc.org, an organization promoting the simple and not too outlandish premise that the U.S. Congress should actually read legislation prior to voting.
From the group’s mission statement:
We believe the federal government has grown too large, [...]

I had no idea the Bill of Rights had its own Day. As I see it, the BoR should be celebrated, implemented, and judiciously guarded every day of the year. I’m probably hopelessly naive. But, here’s the text which we should hold dear:
The Bill of Rights
The Conventions of a number of [...]

Police: Hershey Candy Looks Like Drugs
Are drug dealers now dictating that certain product packaging is taboo? Are our law enforcement agencies really so paranoid?
The packets, which come in blue and orange plastic slide-up cases, are similar enough to drug packets that a child familiar with the candy could mistakenly swallow a heat-sealed bag [...]

Via the Evil Genius Chronicles, a post documenting Ron Paul’s visit to Myrtle Beach. I was sorely tempted to comment on Dave’s observations, and ask for further elucidation of his remarks. Then, a commenter named Matthew made these artless observations:
I beg you to explain to me why you dont agree with Ron Pauls beliefs? [...]

The ever-vigilant ones at the Transportation Security Administration have prepared a video which instructs holiday travelers on how to pack their carry-ons to expedite the screening process. The suggestions will probably not even be known by the majority of the traveling public, and doubtless administered inconsistently, according to the whim of TSA officers on duty [...]

On the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party on December 16, Ron Paul supporters are being encouraged to pledge money to Paul’s presidential candidacy. The goal is 100,000 subscribers, each pledging $100. Donations to be made at the Ron Paul official website. For the first time in a long time, in my recollection, [...]

In the all’s well that’s finally over department, DC Administrative Judge Roy Pearson, who gained brief notoriety and a gold star in my nitwit class, has lost his job as an administrative law judge. His appointment expired on May 2, and the Commission overseeing the appointment of administrative law judges has voted not to reappoint [...]
