CA: Man jailed after housing homeless on ranch
El Paso Times

"A California rancher who houses homeless people on his property chose
to serve 90 days in jail rather than accept probation after being
convicted of misdemeanor safety violations. Dan de Vaul says the terms
of probation offered Monday would prevent him from sheltering about 30
people who reside at his ranch and participate in a substance abuse
recovery program. The 66-year-old de Vaul says he is proud to go to
jail for housing the homeless. About 30 supporters applauded as he was
led out of court in handcuffs." (11/23/09)

Militia movement resurfaces across nation
Associated Press

"Norm Olson's genial tone belies his reputation as a radical
militiaman, yet here he is, at 63, an affable grandfather explaining
why Americans should arm themselves against their government. ...
Olson -- a man whose conspiracy theories were so extreme that he was
kicked out of the group he founded, the Michigan Militia, 15 years ago
-- discourses on the need for a paramilitary Alaska Citizens Militia.
He lays out his ideas about imminent economic collapse and social
chaos incited by federal bailouts and other forms of intrusion by a
tyrannical government. Olson's militia is minuscule at the moment, but
there has been a resurgence of the militia movement nationwide, in
part coinciding with the advent of the Obama administration. At least
50 new right-wing militia groups have been identified by the
Montgomery, Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil
rights organization. All have formed within the last two years, many
spreading their speeches and combat exercises on YouTube." (11/20/09)

China: Scaredy-cat tigers
Ananova [UK]

"Zoo-keepers in China say their tigers have grown so tame that they're
frightened of the chickens they're supposed to eat. Keepers have been
trying to encourage them to follow their natural instincts by throwing
them live chickens -- but without success. ... Feeder Shi Ruqiang
said: 'They're supposed to be wild and scary, but due to their soft
lifestyles and human care they have gradually lost their wild nature.
I have been trying to interest them with live chickens but it was
quite a funny scene. The tigers were so scared that they wouldn't go
near them. One chicken passed out and the tigers did eventually
approach it -- but then it woke up again and squawked and they ran for
their lives!'" (11/19/09)

North Korea threatens south over clash
Fort Dodge Messenger News

"North Korea threatened South Korea on Thursday with possible
punishment over a skirmish that left one of its warships badly damaged
and a crew member dead. The rival Koreas clashed at sea Tuesday for
the first time in seven years, with each side accusing the other of
violating the disputed western sea border and firing first. South
Korean officials claimed victory, saying a North Korean ship suffered
heavy damage during the two-minute battle. They said a South Korean
ship was lightly damaged and there were no casualties on their
side." (11/12/09)

 Saudis bomb rebels, blockade Yemeni coast

"Saudi Arabia on Tuesday imposed a naval blockade on the Red Sea coast
of northern Yemen to combat Shiite rebels along its border, an adviser
to the government said, in the latest escalation of fighting in the
southern Arabian peninsula. The Saudi move comes as Iran, the region's
dominant Shiite power accused by the Arabs of backing the rebels,
warned neighboring countries not to interfere in Yemen's internal
affairs." (11/10/09)

Surprised  CBS let him get away with this even though he's  right!

Andy  Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back:

I don't  think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers.. The  only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like  the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment  Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the  United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White  Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what  happens..Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your  door.
Guns do not  make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill  someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from  driving to the ball game.

I believe  they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no  girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING, MARTHA  BURKE ?

When 70% of  the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the  population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of  Probability.

I think the  police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after  they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop'  in English, see the above lines.

I don't  think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified  for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax  breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any  other business.

We did not  go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to  defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and  tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their  interpretations.

I don't  hate the rich; I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so  are movies and television... That doesn't stop you from watching  them.

I think  tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend  they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip  ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve  me French fries!

I am sick  of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single  one of them was born in Africa ; so how  can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am  a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great  grandfather was from   Europe.. I am  proud to be from America and nowhere  else.

And if you  don't like my point of view, tough ...

 Iran: Students carry on protests
Los Angeles Times

"Students in the western Iranian city of Ahvaz in recent days launched
an impromptu protest in a campus auditorium. In Kashan on Monday, a
group took over the campus cafeteria, singing anti-government songs. A
couple of weeks ago in Tehran, others cheered wildly as someone threw
a shoe at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's former culture minister.
Then on Monday, students shouted down the ex-minister, Mohammad-
Hossein Saffar-Harandi, once again. Largely absent from international
media reports and discounted by Western policymakers more focused on
Iran's nuclear program, the protest movement that erupted after
Ahmadinejad's disputed June 12 reelection has continued to smolder,
mostly on college campuses. Defying warnings by security officials,
protesters plan to stage their first large public gatherings in six
weeks on Wednesday." (11/02/09)

UK: Drug advisers demand showdown with Johnson
Irish Times [Ireland]

"The British government's top drug advisers have demanded a meeting
with British home secretary Alan Johnson as fury mounted about his
decision to sack their chairman. Prof David Nutt, chairman of the
Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, was told to go after he said
alcohol and cigarettes caused more harm than Ecstasy and cannabis. ...
The controversy erupted after the publication in recent days of a
speech given in July by Prof Nutt to the Centre for Crime and Justice
Studies at King's College London, when he said drugs should be
classified according to the harm they caused. Under such a league
table, alcohol would come fifth behind cocaine, heroin, barbiturates
and methadone, while tobacco would be in ninth place, ahead of
cannabis, LSD and Ecstasy." (11/03/09)

ME: How the Beans sprouted a militia
Time

"In early October, the Second Maine Militia opened its meeting with
the traditional shooting of the televisions. The 50 or so
'members' (there are no rolls and no one pays dues) chatted quietly as
the blasts rang out. A small cannon was fired into the woods, parting
the trees and shaking the windows of the house nearby. But no real
televisions were harmed. The sets were just cardboard boxes painted
with inane smiley faces and decorated with slogans like 'Feel good!'
'Proud to be USA!' 'Safe in the homeland!' The aluminum-foil antennas,
however, did collapse miserably from the real gunfire. The purpose of
the annual meeting, the same as it has been since the militia started
in 1995, was to bring together the politics of left and right over
speeches, food, live music, and, of course, live ammo. The attendees
were a wildly diverse group: young activists and anarchists in black,
old beat-up Maine woodsmen with beards to their bellies, retired white-
haired college professors, Second Amendment zealots, conservatives,
libertarians, Marxists. But they all shared the belief that the U.S.
government has lost its moral authority, that both political parties
had 'degenerated,' as one attendee put it, 'into whores for wealth and
arbiters of empire.'" (10/25/09)

MN: Packing heat, picking up highway trash
Twin Cities News

"A group of Adopt a Highway volunteers were packing more than trash
along the shoulder of Minnesota 55 in Mendota Heights on Sunday
morning. With legal guns on their hips, a dozen area residents spent
nearly three hours picking up litter -- everything from cigarette
butts to blown-out tires -- along a 2-mile stretch of the highway just
east of the Mendota Bridge. It was the inaugural event for the group,
which registered with the Minnesota Department of Transportation's
Adopt a Highway program under the name Minnesota Carry Permit Holders.
'We believe this is the safest stretch of road right now in the
state,' said Jason Walberg, who collected trash with a Springfield XD .
40-caliber, semi-automatic handgun clipped to his belt." (10/25/09)

MI: Women aim for protection in female-only concealed pistol
classes
Michigan Outdoors

"Lee Zeidler was calm as he spoke to the women, each armed with a
pistol, ready to fire. They stood nervously on the line at the
Caledonia Sportsman's Club pistol range. The pungent smell of
gunpowder hung in the air. They were a mixed group of women, from
their early 20s to mid-60s, all prepared mentally and emotionally for
the next step. Most had come to learn how to defend themselves. Others
feared losing that right some time in the future. 'Get the gun up.
Take a breath. Halfway out, hold it, and you will have a nice, steady
shot,' Zeidler said in the practiced way of a National Rifle
Association-certified gun instructor." (10/25/09)

UK: Peaceful protestors in police "domestic extremists" database
Telegraph [UK]

"Personal details about thousands of people -- said to include those
only suspected of minor public order offences such as peaceful direct
action and civil disobedience -- are being compiled on a database run
by the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU). The data
includes pictures of people taken demonstrations and other
observations made by police on the scene, such as vehicle registration
numbers. These enable cars to be tracked using automatic number plate
recognition (ANPR) cameras. ... The NPOIU is one of three units run by
the Association of Chief Police Officers' terrorism and allied matters
committee, which has a budget of £9 million and a staff of 100. The
database can be used to help surveillance officers at demonstrations
identify those who police suspect may become involved in domestic
extremism." (10/26/09)

Inside South Station, soldiers are proud of the progress they have
made. Until they arrived, this remote part of Helmand had not had a
government presence for years. But many are pessimistic about where
the conflict is heading. 'I'm not much for this war. I'm not sure it's

 Senate expands ThoughtCrime definitions in "defense" bill annex
Washington Post

"The Senate cleared a historic hate crimes bill Thursday for President
Obama's signature, approving new federal penalties for attacks on gay
men and lesbians. The legislation, which was attached to the
conference report for the bill outlining the Pentagon's budget, marks
the culmination of a years-long fight by civil rights [sic] groups to
codify the expanded protections [sic]. The measure would extend the
current definition of federal hate crimes -- which covers attacks
motivated by race, color, religion or national origin -- to include
those based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
It also would make it a federal crime to attack U.S. military
personnel because of their service." (10/23/09)

Ohio joins states declaring gun independence

"Ohio has joined with several other states, including Montana and

Representatives Morgan and Martin, would make all guns manufactured
wholly within the state of Ohio exempt from federal gun regulations
provided sales are within state boundaries. The Bureau of Alcohol,
Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives has claimed that they have the
authority through the right to regulate interstate commerce because
even exclusive intrastate sales of guns have an effect on gun sales
nationwide." (10/21/09)

SCOTUS declines to rule on drunk driving stops

"The US Supreme Court has let stand a ruling in Virginia that police
officers must personally observe erratic driving before stopping a
suspected drunken driver. On Tuesday, the high court declined to take
up an appeal involving a Richmond motorist who was pulled over by a
police officer based on an anonymous tip that he was driving under the
influence of alcohol. The issue in the case, Virginia v. Harris, was
whether the officer was justified in confronting the driver with a
roadside sobriety test, or whether he should have waited until Harris'
driving gave rise to a reasonable suspicion of drunk driving
independent of the anonymous tip." (10/20/09)

government made no effort to find those people. They want the money

US Census Bureau predicts fall in response rate
USA Today

"Turbulent political and economic times roiling the nation are
expected to diminish initial participation by households in next
year's Census despite a $326 million marketing blitz that far
outspends previous Census campaigns. Mounting mistrust of government,
rising identify theft and record numbers of foreclosures could
discourage people from mailing back Census forms next year, according
to the Census Bureau. A Census analysis shows that about 64% of
households are likely to mail in their forms without additional
prodding from Census workers -- down from 67% in 2000. That could mean
4 million more doors to knock on." (10/19/09)
