Have a happy Evil White Man Comes To New World To Kill, Rape, and Pillage Day!

Boston Legal is going to have an interesting take on the 2nd Amendment...  Dances With Wolves.  Darn that concealed carry stuff.  Makes life hard for a hard-working felon.

Over at Northshore Journal -  a story you may not see out of Afghanistan. ISAF - read NATO - forces fired in defense of a Pakistani border post.

Just in case you haven't had enough video smacking Senator Obama for his choice of friends.

Oh, what the heck, since you guys are a little down in the dumps today what with Kat going all negative and Pollyannish...  mind you, she might well be right, but I *still* locked up all the dangerous toys around the Castle until the attitude perks up a bit.  Just installed new carpet, no blood, please.

************************************
During Obama’s tenure, the Joyce Foundation board planned and implemented a program targeting the Supreme Court. The work began five years into Obama’s directorship, when the Foundation had experience in turning its millions into anti-gun “grassroots” organizations, but none at converting cash into legal scholarship.

The plan’s objective was bold: the judicial obliteration of the Second Amendment.
 
And, if he gets to appoint enough Justices to the Supreme Court, he can do it.  Heller or no Heller.  Read the rest here, at Pajamas Media.  -the Armorer

*A term of art from the artillery. Harassment and Interdiction Fires. Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute. Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is. The UAVs we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now. Of course, now I have to call them UAS's, because someone got a Legion of Merit for the name change.Anyway, I call the post H&I Fires because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to that particular topic. Another term of art that might be appropriate is Free Fire Zone.

Re: Obama - Ayers videos.  I like the first one.  The second one is kinda over the top.  Ayers is vile enough and the Obama connection is troubling enough without making it an X-File.
