In Praise of Police Restraint and Pepper Spray
By now, you’ve probably seen what the MSM will ensure becomes an iconic photograph from an Occupy Whatever protest in Portland, OR this weekend. A young woman, screaming defiance at the “banksters” and their greedy overlords, gets a full blast of pepper spray from a fascist police officer who overreacted to the “mostly peaceful” protest.

The Delivery Presents – I Don’t Often Sound the Horn of Outrage, But…
I covered quite a a bit of ground in Episode 99 (AKA: The Big Gretzky!) but by far, the most important part of the whole show is in the second half of the first segment. Listen to the whole show, of course, then send it to your friends and family and get them to subscribe [...]

Jeff notes [...]

Last [...]
