Report: Hutaree Member Wanted Guns To Protect Self From ‘Crime Family’ | TPMMuckraker
Police reports indicate Ward wanted his AK47 and .45-caliber pistol back because an Ohio crime family was after him for trying to marry a Macedonian woman who had been held captive on an island in Lake Erie by another crime family.
Ward’s mother told police she seized the guns because she was worried about her son’s mental state, reports said.
From the comments:
You know you’ve got some hard-core militiamen when their MOMS take away their guns.

The Washington Post today has a profile of Mike Vanderboegh, the 57-year-old former militiaman from Alabama who last week posted a call for people to throw bricks through the windows at Democratic offices around the country to protest their votes for Health Care Reform. Whether the people who actually did this over the last week did so in reaction to his call to arms is not clear. But he’s happy to take credit and others are crediting him too.
But Vanderboegh really is a classic exemplar of scream-at-your-TV tea-partyish extremism. A radical libertarian, champion of getting big government off the people’s backs, his day job? Vanderboegh lives on government disability checks down outside of Birmingham, Alabama.
Asshat.
Battle of bands at Brown School
‘The Blue Rebellion’ band members; Sean Rafferty, left, Isaac Poole, and Zack Argabrite hold their winning gold record for their first place performance where they played a mix of Caribbean, blues, and heavy metal for the crowd. (By Amber Sigman, special to The Courier-Journal) March 21, 2010
Isaac, the one in the middle, is my cousin (first cousin once removed to be exact). He played guitar and wrote all the songs. His mom said the Caribbean/Heavy Metal description is incorrect. “Blues inspired” was how she put it. Anyhow, watch out for this kid. He’s got talent.

Nutjob Video: Obama Was A Secret CIA Agent In Pakistan In 1981 | Oliver Willis
Bask in the crazy.
Great comments:
So wait — Obama was the lynchpin of CIA operations in Pakistan in the 1980s, and this is…bad? I mean, it’s bonkers to think he was, but if he was, doesn’t that mean he’s an American hero?
…
The CIA recruited him because they needed Muslims who spoke Farsi, even though he’s a Christian who doesn’t, and then they sent him to study at the Soviet Patrice Lumumba University, to prepare him to fight Soviets in Afghanistan, where they also don’t speak Farsi and aren’t African or African American?
…
I’m glad a smart man like Obama is in the white house. He is capable of learning the language of the Muslims, and makes secret deals with the Soviet Union, a nation he helped destroy 30 years ago. Your average president could never hope to do these things.

Dining Room Table Running Against Barney Frank in Massachusetts Primary
The Lyndon LaRouche pod person that Barney Frank eviscerated a little while back is running against him in the primary. Based on this video, she believes her confrontation with Frank was positive. I guess if you’re a screwball you probably think it made her look good.
I’ll be making popcorn if there’s a televised debate.
