Digging Deeper And Deeper

Apparently, among those millions *ummmm* hundreds of thousands *errrr* bunches of "shovel ready" jobs created (or saved -- don't forget saved) by Porkulus were several hundred in BATFE -- jobs created (or saved -- don't forget saved) specifically for the purpose of enabling the folks who ran Op Fast and Furious to lose track of the weapons going into Mexico even faster and more furiously.

Question: since the anti-Second Amendment oikophobes in DoJ and BATFE used taxpayer funds to run their little scam, are each of us taxpayers now accessory to multiple murders?

Feh.

It was a scam to encourage further limitations of the 2nd Amendment.  We have a lawless government now.  None of us are safe.  The solution seems obvious.

Heh. he said "oikophobes."  I thought it was spelled "ecophobes."  Either way, it is a crazyness.   I have been following this from the beginning, over at http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com  and I tell you that each new rock turned over exposes even more stinking purulent pestilent disgusting vermin scurrying away from the light.

Meanwhile, Iowahawk has questions.

If Eric Holder gets indicted in Operation Fast & Furious, should he get a civilian trial?

and

Since you've doubled the number of wars, shouldn't you be getting another Nobel Peace Prize?

among others, some of which are even funnier than John imagining he wouldn't overflow from an XXXL IBA vest...

In other news, my housemate just got back from an appointment  at the VA clinic, at which they "explained" how and why they screwed him over by not sending his medicines to him. It seems this house has been hanging fire on foreclosure for a while, and there's some silly rule that they can't send anything to anybody in that situation. Hello? I still get my phone bill every month, I assure you.  I like the guy. He's even weirder than I am, but the Army took him, and he made Sergeant. Later he worked for the Christians In Action in Langley. He has a Master's degree, too, and the best job he can get is in the seafood department at the local Publix.

*trying to calm down*

JTG... perhaps there is an even bossier silly counter-rule that can be found in another set of laws... such as those found in the Constitution and within certain amendments. I am a big fan of using Federal courts to slap the hell out of guvamint agencies that trample all over people. Especially if they are sick or disabled. Of course, it requires a certain amount of fortitude and free time to pursue these things, which is what has prevented me from going full-file on a certain circuit court judge... but that is another matter entirely.

Oh, and... you have looked into filing bankruptcy in terms of staving off the house FUBAR, right?

I am not the "owner", here, just a tenant.

But, but, the "Stimulus" only allocated $10 MILLION for "Operation Gunrunner", and, obvioulsy, Eric Holder 'knew nothing', 'nothing', about this obvious sham to attack the second amendment by jacking up the numbers of 'US guns being used for crimes in Mexico.
Kinda' like Janet ordering the Border Patrol to stop arresting illegals and just drive them back over the border so she could claim: "The Border Is More Secure Than Ever", as arrest are down. What a load of bovene excerment!

And they're gunshy of sending anything to a PO box -- it seems that some mail sorters not too long ago made a very lucrative side business of intercepting VA meds and selling them on the street.

 When it comes to the Obamanation, two things are shovel ready. First is all the new dead bodies that will be created by Obamacare. The second is the dead bodies that were created because of the Gun Walking fiasco. Third, is his maladminstration.

Yes, that's three. I'm an Engineer and, last I heard, I could count. I'm just too lazy to back and edit the first sentence. And yes, it was more trouble to keep typing than to go back and edit the first sentence and I can tell you don't understand. The beauty of it is, you don't have to.

On a more serious note, I met FBL at a Lex meet up in San Diego this evening. We discussed what was missing and agreed that it would have been nice to have our own BillT present for the meet, greet and eat at Lex's favorite watering hole. I can say the food was good, and they have an ample supply of Guiness as well as other adult beverages. I'm sure the repartee between the Lex and Bill would have been quite stimulating as well.

Virgil Xenophon was supposed to be there, but he and his wife had to fly out early this AM on very short notice because his mother-in-law was quite sick in Lake Charles, LA.

Unka Bill, he went and rented a PO box today, hoping to avoid the awfulness. That's a real buzz-killer, what you just wrote there. I think I need to show him the links for vets here, if I can get him to come near a computer. His experience in the Berlin Brigade as a guy who wore the rose and dagger, and later, with the Langley Lunatics, has made him right suspicious of most modern technology.

Heh.  So, what am I, chopped liver? [wanders down to basement to talk to the only things he understands, and who understand him]

So, what am I, chopped liver?

That'll remain a rhetorical question only for as long as you stay away from the pointy-stabby/sharpy-slicey  portion of the Arsenal...
