Remember Aaron Tobey? He's the young man who, back in December, was going to his Grandmother's funeral in Wisconsin and wanted to let people know that he believes that the TSA's screening process is unconstitutional. He's 22 years old. He was detained in handcuffs at the Richmond International Airport for 90 minutes while being questioned about his "motivation" for doing what he did. (Don't the idiots at TSA understand that one doesn't have to be motivated by anything other than The Constitution to stick up for one's constitutional rights? Sheesh....)
He has filed a lawsuit for his unlawful detention. My hat is off to this young man. It gives me hope that not all of our young people are lost. I wish him the best of luck.
Read the whole story here.
How about the "Gunwalker" fiasco? It's my understanding that BATFE and Justice are still stonewalling the Judicial Committee. I don't think it's gonna go away, kiddies. Huge "Thank you" to Mike Vanderboegh, David Codrea and GOA for their tireless efforts and to TL Davis and the other bloggers who got the word out to the blogosphere and kept it out there. "The Heat is on...."
And Geitner at Treasury. Is he an idiot?
Janet the Second is completely lost. Clueless.
I think this current administration is beyond corrupt. I think they are criminal. Blatantly criminal. And totally incompetent. All of them.
I'm not sure that the Republicans are any better than the Democrats but it looks like the Republicans are starting to fight amongst themselves. It appears that they mostly want to maintain the status quo. Too much self interest amongst all politicians. They're going to screw the pooch and obama will be reelected.
The Unions in Wisconsin are rushing to make deals with the local school boards ahead of the new collective bargaining law taking effect. The Wisconsin Secretary of State is refusing to publish it until the last possible day because he doesn't see it as an emergency needing immediate action. Oh yeah, he's a Democrat.
While Qadafi is killing the citizens of Libya, while the middle east is in flames, while the tsumani is affecting the Pacific all the way from Japan to Kalifornia, while radiation is leaking into the atmosphere from broken reactors in Japan, obama plays golf. Soon we'll be hearing about his NCAA tournament picks. That's newsworthy, I guess. I say again, obama isn't a very presidential president.
We are so totally screwed.
Does anyone have any cheery news?
Stay safe.
Since you asked:)
