Snowflakes in Hell

Well, that was my first national radio apperance.  Hopefully I did OK!  Anyway, for those of you looking for the post that was alluded to on the show, you can click here.  Tonight Bitter and I will be preparing to head to Louisville, and tomorrow we head out.  Posting might be light tomorrow.

UPDATE: Apparently John Popp got his Sebastians confused.

These pictures probably please me every bit as much as Dave Barry.

I’m hearing from the NRA that the Celebration of American Values event at the Annual Meeting on Friday, featuring John McCain, will not be allowing firearms.  This is a directive from the Secret Service, not from NRA or McCain’s campaign.  There will be a security checkpoint at the entrances to Hall A of the Kentucky Exposition Center, where the event will be held.  If you plan to attend this event, just be advised you will have to clear a security checkpoint.

The case SayUncle links to here rules that police can’t ask you for identification without a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed.  I have a feeling this case, currently in the eighth circuit, might end up being useful in a case that’s developing here in Pennsylvania. Hopefully I’ll be able to post more about that later.

This time from Annette John-Hall.

As expected, the NRA continues to cling to the age-old argument that guns are the least of the problem.

“It’s the same song-and-dance out of Ramsey, focusing on the firearm and not at the root of the problem,” NRA spokesman John Hohenwarter said. “The problem is the revolving door of the courtroom and the lack of intervention for these kids who grow up to be criminals.”

But none of those things killed Liczbinski. A criminal armed with a body-armor-penetrating weapon did.

Ms. John-Hall, if you can read this post here, and tell me that one more gun law is going to matter, you’re either a fool, or worse.  Let’s stop pretending here.  The city isn’t even enforcing the laws we already have.  So why do we have them?  You should  be making the city politicians answer for this, not the NRA.

I’ll be making an appearance on Cam & Company tonight at the 9:20 segment to talk about the Second Amendment Blog Bash, happening as part of the NRA Annual Meeting in Louisville, KY later this week, and through the weekend.  I hope everyone can tune in.  You can catch Cam’s show on Sirius Patriot 144 from 9 to midnight, and on NRANews.com

The Arizona Rifleman.  I remember Heypete from when I used to spend time on LiveJournal’s guns community.  He always seemed like a sensible guy.

A comment to Bitter’s post yesterday about the problem in Burma:

Each recovery package contains rice, a water filter, an SKS, 100 rounds of ammo, and a map with directions to the capital.

Sounds good to me.  Also very much worth reading on the Burma issue, is a post at The Belmont Club.  As always with that blog, the comments are often as good as the post.

It never occured to me to steal my dad’s credit card and use it to buy prostitutes.  The best part of all this:

They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.

The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played “Halo” on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician.

I’d say he’s off to a great start.

David Codrea has an interview up.  If you’ll be in Louisville, David Young and David Hardy will be at booth number 1551 all three days.  Stop by and say hi.

Except to defend against double murderers.
