A few choice items mined from comments and emails from blog readers:
- Have you thanked the above Wholesome Homeland Security Hero for keeping us safe by groping your children? Turns out TSA agent Thomas Gordon is so dedicated to our welfare that he even studied young girls in his spare time. (From winston; who noted oh-so-correctly that this news was inevitalble. Bet it won’t be the last.)
- From Pat: Turns out you can get paid for trying to inflict a conscience on Obama. Unfortunately, the few bucks these folks might receive doesn’t even begin to offset the thousands they had to pay for tickets to get close enough to sing their song to the Felon-in-Chief.
- Voice of experience: “Stuff To Consider When Planning For SHTF Scenarios.” There’s not so fine a line between the prepared and the unprepared as we who haven’t been there sometimes think. (Salutes to EN for this excellent find!)
- From DrillSgtK (making a temp link more permanent): How most people probably view this week’s revelation about Apple iSpy tracking.
- “We’re all hostages to the dopiest person with a phone.” And don’t you dare be so unpatriotic as to blame this sort of thing on the militarization of police or the relentless campaign to program every Robo-American with the “if you see something, say something” code.
And on a very different note … Oliver offers more reverance than I. Happy Easter and blessings to all.
Thanks for linking that story, I found it burried on drudge and have been trying to spread it around a bit.
An important bit I noticed was that when the case was unsealed, the fact that he was a TSA screener was deliberatly kept on the down-low…politicized media blackouts fill me with warm fuzzies for sure.
And I think even most other TSA agents would be smart enough not to use photobucket and facebook to distribute highly illegal images…who knows what really goes on.
It’s easy for Democrats to believe in the National Security state when they’re in power, and vise versa, but few seem to understand the kind of men who will gravitate to these jobs. Sad and SCARY!
I’ve seen the movie “Atlas Shrugged” over the weekend. While I won’t say it’s a great movie, I will say it’s a very good movie.
It seems that while the critics bombed this movie, the public that went, loved it. And it showed in the ticket sales. Apparently the critics’ jaws must’ve dropped when they saw the numbers for Atlas Shrugged.
I do think J.G. shouldn’t have “shown up” like he did in this movie, should’ve gradually appeared more and more as the movies go on. Even the blind can figure out its him.
I do think there should’ve been one thing more “prominent” in the last scene on the burning fields. The Torch.
And no, I don’t think I’m giving much away.
SHTF needs a shoulder patch designed! Easy enough to image what the image on such a patch would be.. TSA Creep Meter pegged. Oh-don’t try to get steampunk props(modified Nerf guns) with you as carry on luggage. It was an interesting story I heard this past Saturday.
I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but just looking at that guy would prompt me to take my kids to a different line…..sometimes you just have to trust the vibes you get, and not wander along like a lemming…..
