Over at TZP, I ponder the mind of Alan Gottlieb as he further strives to divide Washington state gun owners so that that his ally Bloomberg can march on to victory in the next state. (Watch out, Nevada!)

Of course.
“The Doughty Swiss” and their fabulous franc. If you thought the Obama administration and fed ‘crats had backed off on using banks to try to shut down gun stores, think again. In one California city citizens take direct action to try to get justice against brutal cops. The emergency room: a microcosm for misplaced priorities. We see this in animal rescue/welfare work, too, in the form people who can afford pricey tattoos, cigarettes, and weekly lotto tickets and scratch cards — but “can’t” come up with $25 to keep their pets from producing endless, unhealthy litters year after year. In…
I’ve been watching the Elio with lots of anticipation though I still can’t decide whether it’s all hype or something gonna-be cool. Might be time to start watching the Local Motors Strati, too. 3D printed car. “The Myth of Washington Gun Rights Groups.” a monster take-down of Gottlieb’s newest sock puppet proxy, the “honorable” Adina Hicks.* (Via Mike V. who asks “where’s her bow tie?”) One year after: Colorado and pot are doing well. The Obama administration’s idea of cool-and-groovy solidarity: Sweet Baby James Taylor. The nanny state picked the wrong family to hassle this time. 10 reasons the Mafia…
… of what transpired at Thursday’s rally against I-594. The “get those crazies off our side” view from Barron at TheMinuteman.org. The “we aren’t subjects” view from Kit Lange at the Patrick Henry Society.
Seems that Joel and the rest of the gunblogosphere aren’t the only ones who think Liam Neeson is even worse than the usual Hollywood anti-gun hypocrite. A company that supplied weapons for his films has a thing or three to say about it. Ding-dong, Google Glass is dead. Well deadish, anyhow. A simple explanation of what Swiss bankers just did. And a slightly more complicated one. I’m sure some of our resident money gurus will have views of their own. If you haven’t been watching, Switzerland threw the entire world into a financial tizzy yesterday. (Though IMHO, their real screwup…
Dunno whether to laugh or cry. Alan Gottlieb and other mainstreamers sponsored a rally this morning in Olympia, Washington, to plead with legislators to undo the ghastly billionaire-driven I-594. Although a bill to do that is in the works, WA law doesn’t allow a voter-passed initiative to be easily altered or overturned in its first two years. So that’s interesting in itself. (And never forget: Gottlieb wants background checks; he just wants to be at the table to make the deals.) What’s more interesting is that today’s Gottliebian beg-your-legislators rally drew only about 1/10th — one tenth — the number…
Just catching up on a few overdue things …
Santa has been extremely, extremely good to me. Yeah, I know it seems sorta late to mention that, but not really. Apparently Santa hasn’t even finished with me yet.
(Via Never Yet Melted) And what Larry Correia said. All the years since 9-11, I’ve scrupulously avoided and condemned the jingoistic notion that all Muslims are fanatics and terrorists. There’s a billion of them and most are pretty much like you and me. But. The strain of barbarism poisoning the Arab/Muslim world is growing more putrid by the moment. Since the slaughter at the World Trade Center, I’ve been waiting and wondering when the peaceable moderates of Islam would rise up, condemn, shun, defund, and de-legitimize the monsters among them. Well, those moderate voices have been way, way too moderate…
“I carry a gun every day.” This is great! (H/T LA) Wordlessly ending the hassle at a checkpoint. (Tip o hat to jed) Publicola is back! And he comes out swinging at the Neville Chamberlains of gun rights. Lenore Skenazy of Free Range Kids reviews the top 10 nanny-state fails of 2014. Amazing. Wonder. Beauty. Creation. Destruction. Science! And speaking of “science,” a prominent meteorologist explains why the NorthWET has been so very darned wet this year. 🙂 Groom calls off wedding. Bride, family, and friends have some liberating fun.
Vin Suprynowicz interview will continue as scheduled sometime tomorrow. Meantime, some tab clearing … The dangers of tasers. Better late than never, I guess, and the info about the post-tase brain fog is something to think about. Very impressive, resourceful, and brave little girl. Her father taught her well. It’s too bad her hell is just beginning. Speaking of a child’s (and a family’s) hell, the Washington Post has an unusually even-handed story about how that Idaho toddler shot his mother to death. It being a story about Idaho and guns, I note that the D.C.-ites (without apparent irony) assigned…
