Appeals court denies extension in Shipley case despite strangely lost testimony

“The optical media (CDs) marked as Exhibits C & D were imaged, although the file system was corrupted. It is unknown how or why the media was corrupted. The optical media (CD) marked as Exhibit E was visibly scratched. The agent reported that in his opinion, the scratches, in a swirl format, was intentionally done,” a case document reveals. [More

We're the Only Ones Civilly Disobedient Enough

NY Supreme Court Justice Gustin Reichbach Admits to Smoking Illegal Marijuana for Cancer [More
So as long as you have a reason you think is good, the law should be disregarded, Judge? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you--I'm just wondering how you would rule if I had what I thought were good reasons for exercising an uninfringed right to keep and bear arms in New York...?

From the looks of things, particularly the bit about "drawing the distinction between preventing people who need something from getting it, and preventing people who just want to blaze recreationally from doing their thing," it appears you're the arbiter of acceptable rationales.

That is unacceptable.

Pander Mountain

I've sent you a fair question that your gun owning customer base deserves an unequivocal explanation for.  Several of us have.

While I can't seem to locate it to copy and paste here WEAU.com tells us:
In a posting on its Facebook page, Gander Mountain says it's been a longtime partner of the NRA, but that its customers are diverse and have varied interests, so it established a policy recently which prohibits it from hosting events on behalf of political causes or candidates.
We understand. You just want to sell rope.


You corporate Quislings can try to hide from politics, but that doesn't mean politics won't find you.  Do you know nothing about grassroots vs. AstroTurf?  Do your own sales records not show you that your "diverse" customers are buying guns and ammo in record numbers? Do you truly think the unreconstructed Occupiers/domestic enemies who make up the "Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort" are the ones guaranteeing your bottom line, as opposed to being environmentalcases who would ban all "blood sports" and relegate much of the wilderness off limits even to the bear bells crowd? When they're not raiding animal labs or pooping on cop cars?

For people who deal with hunters and the wild, you'd think you know that jackals don't spare those who appear weak. They target them.


Don't expect those who believe like me to take a stand when Brady/VPC/ CSGV circles you and moves in  for being "gun violence profiteers" selling semiautomatic handguns and "assault rifles", or when PETA tells their fellow human-haters how you abet untold animal murders in the name of corporate greed!

Now that you've voluntarily separated yourselves from the pack, you've separated yourself from its protection, and you'll never be more vulnerable.

We commend Rep. Issa for producing this important document and moving toward following through on his threats, but we renew our call for a fully empowered and truly independent investigator to get to the bottom of the F&F debacle. [More] 
A-yup. That this isn't a "gimme" tells you all you need to know about the sorry state of corruption in our highest offices.

Fortunately, fully 243 fellow patriots care deeply enough to donate as little as one dollar to help get the truth out.

Say, have you heard J-Lo is going to be leaving American Idol?

It would be nice to think there's a crack in the dam.

Me, I think he's up to  something.  Or I should say they're up to something.

So Proud to Live, So Proud to Lie

Elizabeth Warren would be more than happy to take away our way of life, and essentially turn the entire Republic into an updated version of Cherokee Nation.  At the risk of exposing Fauxcahontas even more...

That was just plain a mean thing to do to you and I apologize, but I wanted to make sure everybody knew this juvenile trick because it's always appealed to my immature sense of humor, and besides, maybe somebody with more reach will pick up on using similar imagery to gin up public ridicule that will help send her continued political aspirations to the Happy Hunting Grounds.

This Day in History: May 18
