There's so much craziness going on at the moment, I'm not sure where to focus on, so I'm not going to bother with mere "focus."
1) Bundy - rumor has it his militia has tossed up roadblocks. It appears to me that local law enforcement is going to try and wait him out. Presumably the "militia" have, like, day jobs and/or will get bored standing in the hot Nevada sun in the ass-end of nowhere.
2) John C. Wright quit SFWA. When I mentioned that the goings-on in SFWA would, if they occurred in any other professional organization, resulted in the same sort of firings, I got called "gentle reader" and "a damn liar" in the same post.
3) Over at The Usual Suspects, Judicial Watch got hold of a collection of emails from three days after the Benghazi fiasco. In one of the emails, somebody says "blame it on the video" which since, while the email was being written, other video-related riots were occurring seemed at least reasonable at the time. But since it was obvious that Benghazi was an al-qaida op, that email was sufficient proof for impeachment.
4) Speaking of the dude that done made the video, I said:
Well, his parole from his conviction for bank fraud said “don’t use the Internet and don’t use false identities.” So a Federal judge decided that making movies on the Internet and using a false ID violated his parole and yanked same.
See, this is what bothers me about libertarians. They want “rule of law” except when it’s a rich white guy (Cliven Bundy, High Plains Welfare Queen) or somebody who pisses off Moslems. In that case, the hell with the law.
Does anybody wonder where a guy fresh out of jail gets $100,000 to pay actors and rent a studio? Is it even possible that some Al Qaida operative paid him to make a movie which they could use to start riots? Nah – that would never happen! /sarcasm/
