In this issue: 1. Arizona Killer Assassinates 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, Five Others 2. Another Reason to End the Prohibition Against Contractual Sex 3. Audit the Fed? Of Course! But don't Forget to Audit The State Government, Also! ================================================ 1. Assassin Kills 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, Five Others ================================================ Here we go again. So a lone nutcase shoots several individuals in Arizona, and the media -- within minutes of the shooting -- begin parroting the "it's all the fault of the Tea Party, gun nuts, Libertarians, conservatives..." line. Yadda, yadda, yadda... Haven't we heard this story before? It's no wonder the lamestream media is losing eyeballs in droves. Increasing numbers of Americans are aware of the fraud and manipulation the government and its media lapdog engages in, which is why most people now get their news from the Internet. Of course, that can't be allowed to continue: predictably, it is the left (and the government) that wants the Internet regulated. Think about it. The left's mantra for years has been that thousands of terrorists killing thousands of innocents in the name of Islam has nothing to do with Islam. Yet one loon -- who we know nothing about -- attempts to kill a Democrat Congresswoman, and somehow we're supposed to immediately agree the blame lies with adherents of the Tea Party? Politically-motivated shooting rampages like this needn't happen at all. Were government small and irrelevant enough that no one really cared about politicians and other government bureaucrats, those politicians and bureaucrats would be very safe. In essence, power-hungry fat-government wannabes creat a self-fulfilling AND self sustaining prophecy: create a crisis that provokes unrest, knowing full well that some statistically insignificant remnant will regard that crisis as the "last straw" and go nuts. Then, use the results of whatever mayhem the statistically insignificant extremist has managed to do, to further your government-fattening, victim disarming, Constitution-busting, power-grabbing childish agenda. Six people were killed. But it was interesting to note that as of 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening, January 8, 2011, out of 1,800 Google News search results for news of the shootings, almost none of the news stories mentioned the name of the little girl who was killed, much less said anything about her ended-too-soon, innocent life. Nor have the names of four of the other five citizens killed. The only dead victim named in the stories was another government employee -- a federal judge. The victims the media forgot are: -Gabriel Zimmerman, 30, Giffords' director of community outreach -Dorwin Stoddard, 76, a pastor at Mountain Ave. Church of Christ. -Christina Greene, 9, a student at Mesa Verde Elementary -Dorthy Murray, 76 -Phyllis Scheck, 79 To the left, life is only important if that life is that of the nobles of government. To hell with us Mundanes. ================================================ 2. Another Reason to End the Prohibition Against Contractual Sex ================================================ Former madam Kristin Davis reviews the new Lifetime movie about the "craigslist" killer, which oddly calls the convicted murderer an "alleged" criminal -- and fails to name his victim. http://reason.com/blog/2011/01/06/yet-another-reason-to-legalize ================================================ 3. Audit the Fed? Of Course! But don't Forget to Audit The State Government, Also! ================================================ While most audits are incredibly boring to anyone whos not an accountant, here are a few that stood out this year for their importance, relevance and timeliness. They told us how Virginias state government is (or is not) doing its job of spending money lawfully, ethically and wisely. http://virginia.watchdog.org/1791/2010-review-virginias-most-important-audits-and-what-they-told-us/ ================================================ 4. Recent Letters To The Editor ================================================ Marc Montoni - WikiLeaks: http://www.rocktownweekly.com/details.php?AID=53497&CHID=62 Marc Montoni - Dixiecrats: http://www.rocktownweekly.com/details.php?AID=52219&CHID=62 ================================================ 5. FEATURED VIDEOS ================================================ Global Warming CrimeThink. I'm almost afraid to pass this along, because it might give the commies in our government an idea: http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/75212.html Happy Meals Outlawed. I'm sure Morgan Spurlock would be happy with the news that San Fran has outlawed Happy Meals: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-january-3-2011/san-francisco-s-happy-meal-ban By the way, most people have heard of junk "scientist" Spurlock's "Super Size Me", but there at least a couple of much more informative videos to watch. Check out the links to Soso Whaley and Chazz Weaver's video replies to Spurlock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me#Criticism_and_statistical_notes ================================================ 6. FEATURED VIDEO: Heckler Interrupts Congressional Reading of Constitution ================================================ You know, I'm not big into the issue, but I agree there's something fishy about Obama's birth certificate. However, I don't care enough about it to make an issue of it the way a person in the gallery at the Capitol did at the opening of this year's session: http://video.ap.org/?f=VAHAR&pid=_mIwzXg0fSMnQpZQR3WU649QgyiNsakR Gotta admire the person's moxie. What interested me more about this video is that of the many snips of congressmen reading the Constitution, a rather alarming number of them sound almost as if they are functionally illiterate. For instance, pronouncing "marque" (as in "marque and reprisal") as "markee"; or saying "the dedacted version" instead of "the redacted version", and so on. I guess that explains a few things.... Someone should ask the Sargeant at Arms to remove the real dangers to the Constitution: the Representatives & Senators. Oh -- and any bets on whether it's true or not that this was the first time any of these congressmen read *any* of the Constitution? (Excepting Ron Paul, of course -- he's encyclopedic on the document). The Constitution: It might not be perfect, but it's better than what we have now! ================================================ 7. Documentation for Earlier Cite ================================================ Remember last ish, when I said in article # 3: >>As an example, how many times have you heard of bureaucops shooting >>unarmed and innocent civilians in "wrong door" raids, where not a >>single officer gets charged, much less convicted, of anything? In >>contrast, private "protection" employees are normally prosecuted when >>they make a serious mistake. I'm reminded of a botched raid two >>bounty hunters made in Henrico County many years ago. They went to >>the wrong house, put a woman in custody, then found out she wasn't the >>right one, and they were arrested and jailed. I happened to stumble across the news link: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/timesdispatch/access/18060691.html?dids=18060691:18060691&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jul+07%2C+1995&author=Mark+Bowes+Times-Dispatch+Staff+Writer&pub=Richmond+Times+-+Dispatch&desc=TWO+BOUNTY+HUNTERS+CHARGED+IN+HENRICO+THEY+SMASHED+WAY+INTO+WOMAN%27S+APARTMENT&pqatl=google TWO BOUNTY HUNTERS CHARGED IN HENRICO THEY SMASHED WAY INTO WOMAN'S APARTMENT Richmond Times - Dispatch - Richmond, Va. Author: Mark Bowes Times-Dispatch Staff Writer Date: Jul 7, 1995 Two bounty hunters have found themselves on the wrong side of the law after police charged them with smashing their way into a Henrico woman's apartment dressed in police SWAT gear and brandishing guns. The men, hired by the Johnson's Bailbonding Service to pick up a man awaiting trial on drug charges, partially kicked open the front door of the woman's Essex Village apartment last Friday about 8:15 a.m. in search of the man, police said. "She didn't answer quick enough so they started kicking the door," said Henrico officer J.B. Hill, who arrested the two men. ================================================ 7.
