…just isn’t what it used to be. Miss “Chapman” is taking her spy act into public as if she were a high-profile American Idol contestant.
MJM does not trust the Russians. I look into Putin’s eyes and see Stalin.

Change That Hurts: Reporters Roughed Up by Police, Followed by Secret Service |
Friday, December 31st, 2010 |
The multi-layered irony of this account of a reporter getting roughed up is so thick I probably need not comment. So, instead, I think I’ll just write a note directly to Sherri Kane, the rest of the 3-woman crew, and male TV host B.J. Hampton, caught by the government doing a public access style report on the president visiting Hawaii. You gushed out your love of big government in 2008 and again last election? Well, you got it and change is coming to get you. You deserve what you got, unless you learn the lesson. Begin with why we have the 1st Amendment, and the 4th Amendment—both of which you just had experience with—and work your way back to reconsidering the worth of the 2nd Amendment.
Do NOT excuse the police department’s violations of the U.S. Constitution because they take presidential security “seriously.” That’s how it all starts.

Friday, December 31st, 2010 |
Nice job, Liston, of your article lending wisdom to a topic we could all argue about interminably. Liston emphasizes Pat Rogers’ Rule 1 of gunfighting: “Bring a gun to a gunfight.”

Fighting For Pink Guns: New York Preemption Victory |
Friday, December 31st, 2010 |
Volokh gives a good summary of Chwick v Mulvey, an important victory over municipal gun controllers here.
You may read the legal opinion here, if you like. In this post, MJM explains why this New York case is important to you, right where you live, in your own state, in your own city or county.
Here is what it is all about:
Nassau County goes red over pink
Quick version: New York state statute implicitly stops local efforts to ban guns.
Photo extra: This post comes with a pink accessory, fun photo gallery.
Why you can use this, even if you don’t live in New York: (more…)

Idiocracy Report: Technically, it’s not snow… |
Thursday, December 30th, 2010 |
OK, I’ve resolved to resist commenting on global warming. The primrose path is so deep in that brownish mixture of blizzard-snow and BS now that it’s hardly necessary. Science + socialism = snow job. I think by now, only the most brain-frozen are still hanging on to the propaganda. But, I came across this little weather article that struck me as pretty funny. It’s snowing in Phoenix, Arizona, but, oh, hey! That’s not snow; you’re not really having snow. That’s not as bad as snow. All of this snow is making all of us climatologists look like jackasses. So, it’s not snow. It’s graupel. (more…)

Here’s one from Germany, where they celebrate “Silvester.”
I don’t get it either but I suspect lots of beer would make it funnier.

Make Public Worker Unions Illegal |
Thursday, December 30th, 2010 |
Here is what happens with government unions gone wild.
- I believe in the freedom of people to contract for the sale of their labor.
- I believe in the freedom of people to organize to negotiate to sell their labor collectively.
- I do not believe in government manipulating those contracts as Congress and the Executive Branch do through the National Labor Relations Act today.
- I do not believe that government workers, whose departments are granted a monopoly, should have the right to form unions. Their collective bargaining is done in the legislature.

Will Chris Christie Pardon Brian Aitken? |
Thursday, December 30th, 2010 |
I am glad Brian was out and home for Christmas. As gun-owners consider the more broad ramifications, we should consider this information about Republican Governor Christie.
