That didn't take long.

U.N. CELEBRATES OBAMA RE-ELECTION BY PUSHING GLOBAL GUN CONTROL

Fox has called it for Obama.

I'll give up when the last vote is counted. I hope Romney does the same. Now I'm going to bed.

For Election Day

GO VOTE!

That is all.

Not if the media have any say...

Rumors...

...that probably aren't.

And This Would Be Just The Start If Obama Is Re-Elected

If you are a gun owner and care anything for your right to bear arms, a vote for the re-election of Obama is a vote against your best interests. He will push gun control legislation during his second term. He will bypass Congress and force regulations that restrict our Second Amendment rights. His reticence to do so in his first term wasn't support for the Second, but the sure and certain knowledge it might cost him the election. If you haven't voted already, vote Tuesday. Vote for the Second. Vote for the economy. Vote for the much lesser of two evils. Vote Romney.

Yesterday: last day of early voting...

...at the North Durham Regional Library. I spend a lot of time at the library and during early voting the lines have typically been out the door. Around the corner and down the full length of the building was new to me.

Crickets...

Another long day

I got off work at 6:30 am, slept about four hours, went back in to work the Clemson V. Duke game. No time for blogging.

Bill Whittle: Falling On Principle

Neg·li·gent

In California, an off-duty police officer managed to shoot himself in the knee with his department issued back-up weapon. A security video shows the officer standing with the pistol in his pocket and his hand in his pocket. The his departmental spokesman called it an "accidental discharge". I call it a negligent discharge. The pistol didn't go off by itself. How hard is it for these people to say the word neg·li·gent? I figure about as hard as it was for the officer to keep his hand off the gun.

H/T to the Duck.

Heh

Yet another reason to vote for Romney...

...or Johnson or any freaking body but Obama.

Surprise: NYC Mayor Bloomberg endorses Obama, citing…

Climate change, because it might be real. That's his cited reason? I wouldn't vote for my mother if Bloomberg endorsed her. Sorry, mom.

Chicago: No bullet tax, but the gun levy stands...

"It is very important to us to tax guns because we know that guns are the sources of the incredible violence we have in our neighborhoods," Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle told a news conference. She said 29 percent of guns used in crimes in Chicago were purchased legally in suburban Cook County.

...and now zero percent will buy their weapons legally in Cook County. Why pay the tax when all you have to do to avoid it is cross over to the next county to buy your gat. People vote with their dollars as well as their feet. Only the best and brightest run for office in Chicago.

Executive Privilege?

This leads me to the final point. There are so many reports – many of them false by design – that the picture is worse by the day. What happened at Benghazi happened. The horrible picture developing before our eyes is one of obfuscation, dishonesty, diversion, lies and excuses.

Here’s a note to the DoD and State Department. Listen very carefully. Wolfowitz says “it would appear.” That’s not even nearly good enough. We won’t accept appearances, or anonymous sources. There is a paper trail of deployments, locations, arming orders, force sizes, and so on and so forth. There is yet another paper trail of orders, requests, directives and other communications that fateful night.

We won’t stop until it is all public and assessed by all of us. We will get it, eventually. We will all see it. We will know who did what, who said what, what assets were where, who lied, who equivocated, and who came clean. We will name names.

The players who have any integrity left should come clean now and spill everything. It will go better for everyone in the long run. But it won’t change the facts. And the facts will be found out. That’s our promise.

Any moment now, I'm expecting the White House to claim executive privilege on all Benghazi related materials. It's what they do when the cover-up fails.
