I’m going to publish another heavy hitting piece this evening on the state of Constitutional law in legal education.  Don’t miss it.

The news:

The Good!  Habemus Papum – We have a Pope!  Argentine Jorge Bergoglio was elected Pope Francis a short time ago.  I hope he continues the good and dogged work of his recent predecessors and guides the Church well in these troubled times.

The Bad!  As if the IRS and the FBI don’t give us enough cause for concern, the Obamanation administration has green-lighted all U.S. spy agencies to snoop through our bank and financial records.  They’ll be looking for “suspicious activity” in their quest to fight terrorists, gangsters, tax evaders, dissenters, veterans, farmers, and anyone else they want to target.  20 years ago this would have raised serious concerns about agencies like the CIA and the NSA conducting DOMESTIC operations.  But now, who needs that antiquated law stuff!  Calling this Orwellian is an insult to Orwell’s writings.

Stay tuned!

I made a few happy upgrades to the site today.  Scroll down the left-hand side to take advantage of the new features.  You can easily “follow” the blog two ways now: 1) there’s a button in the lower right-hand corner; 2) I placed a “follow by email” box on the left-hand side just under my picture and info.  Sign up and never miss a thing. 

In the coming days or weeks I will likely make a BIG upgrade to the “professional” level.  All in the name of better serving you.

Today I posted Legal “Education,” https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/legal-education/, which has already turned out to be a hit.  I do knock the system but, at the end, I express my desires for changes (heck, I want to enter the academic field now).  Read if you haven’t. 

The way the site counts views seems to have changed or else they re-calculated.  Some of my past daily numbers have changed and I don’t know why.  The up-side is, I think, the total views went up.  That’s a good thing!  And now…

The News:

In the City of Brotherly Stupidity (San Fransisco) a group has launched an advertising campaign to promote Jihad: “Killing Jews is worship that brings you closer to Allah,” the ad reads.  Not making this up: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/03/11/killing-jews-is-worship-ad-campaign-rolled-out-on-sf-buses/.  I read the Koran once and found references to Judaism as a sister religion whose followers are entitled to respect.  This was a theme of the successful caliphates of old.  Funny, the ad doesn’t say WHERE one would be closer to Allah.  In typical SF fashion District Attorney George Gascon has expressed concern over the new ads: “San Francisco won’t tolerate Islamophobic bigotry…”  Maybe he hadn’t actually read the ad yet.

The Empire wants to copy Kalifornia’s gun confiscation program!  See: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-12/california-seizes-guns-as-owners-lose-right-to-bear-arms.html?cmpid=yhoo.  You can look forward to a visit from the WACO squad if your doctor thinks you might be depressed or your significant other lies to a judge about your behavior.  I recommend people bury at least one firearm to circumvent this goose-stepery.

It seems that a few people might be qualified for healthcare under Obama’s socialist boondoggle.  However, the process is being compared to filing an income tax return.  See: http://news.yahoo.com/ap-exclusive-applying-health-care-not-easy-171510320.html.  I wonder if the insurance giants of Amerika have to fill out forms in order to justify their new profit margins???

NASA’s little Mars robot says the planet once supported life – but no more.  Obama was later heard blaming W for the extinction.  The RepubliCONS have since blamed Rand Paul.

The bad: Haven’t we suffered enough Bushes???

No ugly..

The good: The 2013 Masters is only a month away!

I’ve added a few features to the site to assist you with contacting me and checking on my most popular posts.  Scroll down the left-hand side to check it all out!  The first thing you’ll notice is a new picture of the new (thin) me – no cigar and a suit!

I’d like to welcome my second Ad – Augusta Iron and Steel Works, Inc. of Augusta, GA.  They build the best bridges in the Southeast! Call them for your next overpass or railroad project!  Perrin approved!

I was out and about this morning and someone recognized me at random from the site.  And! Rather than attack me with a hammer, he complimented the Second Amendment column!  Getting better every day, folks.  All for you.

Some more great posts are in the works.  Stay tuned!

I think I shall scrap the plan to ask Gov. Deal for a Generalship.  He likely doesn’t even know he has a militia at his disposal.  I also doubt I could raise a platoon, let alone a larger unit.  Maybe with Kim Jong UnBalanced about to start WWIII, the Marines will be called away from Georgia. 

I hope you liked my sentimental babbling about college in Muddling Through College, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/muddling-through-college/.  Have a read if you didn’t see it – especially if you plan to go or go back to college anytime soon.  I’ll have my take on legal education soon.  And, maybe I’ll revisit the Second Amendment before the ASU (GRU) function next week.

The news:

The Colorado movie theater shooter may enter an insanity plea soon.  The judge has cleared the way for a psychoanalysis inclusive of “truth serum.”  For a little morbid fun, Google “shooting libor scandal” and check the results.  There’s an odd connection between the CO theater shooting and the one in Connecticut a few months later.  Both Holmes and Lanza were also under the prescribed influence of psychotropic narcotics at the times of their alleged crimes.  For more fun, Google “james holmes MK Ultra.”  I see a giant conspiracy.  I love conspiracy theories because 9 out of 10 times they’re dead on, even if it takes a century for the truth to come out.  I trust absolutely nothing the government and the lamestream media say.  Do you?  A Pew Research poll says only 30% do.  By the way, check Wiki for “MK Ultra” if you’re not familiar.  Love that CIA!

There was an earthquake in California.  There was also a wave on the ocean.

New Yakkahs are free once again to consume giant sugary beverages!  Woot!

The WSJ has joined the Bash Rand Paul movement.  Sad.  The Urinal used to be a good publication before the neocons took over.

Shaq claims he is a big geek.  I have a friend who was once in Florida on business.  He was having a meeting at a sidewalk cafe with an entertainment industry big-wig.  My buddy was smoking a cigar – probably a Perdomo.  Shaq rolls up in a custom SUV, gets out, and comes over.  He knew the big-wig.  Upon seeing the cigar, Shaq grabbed it from my friend’s mouth, took a long drag, and said, “That’s a good cigar!”  I’m not a basketball guy but I like the Big Geekrock.

“The GRU [Augusta State University] Political Science Club, Pre-Law Club, and Model United Nations Club are hosting a Brown Bag Event on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in University Hall 170 titled: RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS? – LEGAL PERSPECTIVES & COMPARATIVE POLICIES.” 

I was informed too late about the event to join the panel.  However, I will be present to listen and then raise a little hell.  Come join the fun.  apparently, some people still believe in the “collective rights” theory of the Second Amendment and will present the tired, discredited arguments – misinterpretations of a case called U.S. v. Miller (1930s) and maybe some Nazi/Communist garbage.  I hope this is rhetorical and a “devil’s argument.”  At any rate I will be present to actually speak for the 2A and the freedoms of We the People!

Here’s the whole program as I was emailed today:

******The GRU Political Science Club, Pre-Law Club, and Model United Nations Club are hosting a Brown Bag Event on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in University Hall 170 titled: RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS? – LEGAL PERSPECTIVES & COMPARATIVE POLICIES.

This event will rely on the great minds of our faculty to articulate the various constitutional interpretations of the 2^nd Amendment and others to inform (not persuade) the audience. However, Hammad Sheikh, the president of the Pre-Law Club, will present comparative policies and statistics dealing with gun ownership as well. Professor Peter Flanagan, the Pre-Law Club Advisor, will explain the rationale of the “individual right” interpretation as articulated by the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. vs. Heller, and how the right was selectively incorporated to apply to the states by virtue of McDonald v. Chicago. Dr. Saundra Reinke will explain the rationale of the “collective right” interpretation as articulated by the Supreme Court in United v. Miller including how the 10 Amendment may be construed by some as the appropriate alternative to the 2^nd Amendment in applying the right (or the lack thereof) to bear arms. Dr. Lance Hunter, the co-advisor of the Political Science Club, will act as the Event Moderator and will guide the discussion along in a timely manner. Each speaker will have between 5 – 8 minutes to present their information. The remaining time will be used for an open discussion on the topic between faculty and students.

Sincerely,

Ethan Holliman

GRU Political Science Club (2013), President*******

Of the speakers I only know Dr. Flanagan.  He is a former attorney and actually is a great mind.  I say I will raise hell but those who know me know I will be most respectful …. and entertaining.  I hereby invite any and everyone to attend.  “GRU’ is located off Walton Way in Augusta (easy access from the Wheeler Road [1C] and Wrightsboro Road [2] exits on I-520).  I have no idea where University Hall is – better do some Googling yourselves.  Parking may be another issue.  Check in advance with the school.

This is a natural follow-up to my talk yesterday to the Augusta LP.  I will even wear a form-fitting, expensive suit so as to look like a real attorney and expert!  I don’t know what “brown bag” means.  If you come, don’t plan on free food.  If it’s there, it’s for the students I suppose.  I may try to get on the panel if it’s possible.  If not, I’ll be in the peanut gallery. 

See you there!

PS: All my followers must also be respectful to all present.  If you carry a gun, don’t bring it in the school.  It’s against the illegal Georgia law we currently have and it may frighten some of th sheeple.

Remember, tomorrow I am addressing the Augusta, GA Libertarian Party at 1 p.m.  See previous posts for details.  Make sure to factor in Daylight Savings Time – “spring forward” one hour tonight.

The news earlier (in post) than normal:

The Southern Poverty Communism Center sent a letter to Attorney Gunrunner Eric Holder and Homeland MiniPax’s Janet Napolitano urging vigilance against “patriotic” domestic terrorists (you and I).  This group knows what they’re talking about: they had an informant working with Timothy McVeigh before the Oklahoma City bombing (it’s not clear if “John Doe Number 2” was this informant or a CIA black-op/agent provocateur).

(Google Images.)

Sadly, the terror is spreading like wildfire.  In Texas a young man recently terrorized two home-intruding rapists by menacing them with a firearm (they reportedly described it as “an assault weapon”).  The boy, who tired of watching his mother and sister being raped and who did not wish to see them murdered, did not have the decency to show compassion for the two men.  By acting with a gun, he also denied the state its role as immortal guardian, an act of rebellion which jeopardizes millions.  See here: http://www.infowars.com/boy-stops-murder-plot-with-gun-national-media-ignores-story/.  Studies show that this type of domestic taliban-style ruthlessness take place about 2.5 million times per year.  Just think of all the traumatized criminals…

Young Americans, despite years of statist propaganda, just don’t seem to get it.  A recent Reason poll found that 70% of young people favor private ownership of assault weapons.  Another poll found a similar majority plan to purchase such weapons as soon as possible.  These are supposed to be Little Barry’s people, instead they are following in the footsteps of notorious terrorists such as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and David Crockett.  They may reconsider when facing off against the 100s of billions of rounds of ammunition and the thousands of tanks of Mrs. Napolitano’s Schutz Staffel.

Question of the day/week/month:

Not that the dreaded SEQUESTER (dark clouds form in your mind) has taken effect, why does the federal debt still skyrocket at over $100,000 PER SECOND!?  Just asking.

I look forward to posting an account of my successful work with the LP tomorrow.  Hopefully, I’ll see many of you there.  Until next time, keep the tyrants sweating!

First, a reminder that I will address the Augusta, GA-area Libertarian Party this Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 1 p.m.  My topic will be how citizens should interact with the police, especially while armed.  See my post, How to Interact With the Police, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/how-to-interact-with-the-police/, for more details on the subject.  I will gladly accept donations of cigars, booze, and gold…  The meeting will be at The Roadrunner Cafe, 2821 Washington Rd, Augusta (just off I-20).  You can find the Roadrunner here: http://www.roadrunnercafe.com/.  The Augusta LP is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/299217897355/.

I started this site last summer but didn’t really get it going until this time last month.  What a month!  I’ve had about 2000 views in the past 30 days.  Keep coming back!  Today, I published The United States Constitution, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/the-united-states-constitution/. Check it out if you haven’t. 

In my quest to find interesting items for your review, and to make money for me, I’m evaluating a service which will allow me to tailor advertising on the site.  I’m looking for products and services I think you and I are interested in.  Thanks again to Top Shelf Cigars for being the very first ad!  I vow no pop-ups!

A few personal notes – Today I added my 1000th friend on Facebook.  In addition to being a great way to keep in touch, Facebook provides a valuable outlet for my ramblings.  And, I have dropped 45 pounds since I started my program.  I’m at 193 now and feel great!  I’ve noticed a few people have joined me on the fitness bandwagon.  The more the merrier.

The news:

Slow news day but The Onion has a great story about Obama and drones: http://www.theonion.com/articles/youre-my-best-friend-says-obama-to-drone-that-appe,31594/.  I always trust the Onion.

Earlier today I posted Don’t Drone Me, Bro!, a hybrid news/column piece concerning drones, bankers, and a bird (not all together…).  If you didn’t catch it today, click here: https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/dont-drone-me-bro/.

I’ve got some new stuff in the hopper – on the Constitution, some historical figures, more zany laws, and my endearing personal stories.  Look for one or more this weekend.

The news:

Rand Paul is having a war of words with John McInsane (RINO – AZ) and Lindsey Grahamnesty (RINO – SC).  The dull duo attacked Paul for his audacity at defending the Constitution and the lives and freedom of the American people.  Paul fired back at the fearful, war-mongers, “They think the whole world is a battlefield, including America.”  Read more: http://thehill.com/video/senate/286881-paul-blasts-back-at-mccain-graham#ixzz2Mu7ubpjK.  

In other news, the people of Kenya are officially smarter than Amerikans.  President Sotoro’s brother (the Obama who stayed in Kenya) lost his bid for the governorship of Siaya.  Then again, the Kenyans have had over four years to review “hope and change” and they don’t have to filter the BS from our “news” programs.  Word has it yet another Bush is preparing to run for the Whitehouse.  2016 will be a grand opportunity for Amerikans and especially RepubliCONS to demonstrate their stupidity.

Check back tomorrow for more and better stuff.  As usual I am always trying to improve the site.

I have calmed down since posting those disturbing stories at lunch today.  Sixty minutes on the elliptical machine did it for me (down 44 lbs now!).  I have a report tonight that may get me going again.  It’s kind of related to some of my recent work.

First, I just published Structuring, Are You Guilty? a little earlier tonight.  It’s both informative and funny.  Check it out!

And, I again welcome Top Shelf Cigars as the first sponsor here at the blog!  See their Ad over on the left hand side of the page, any page.

Now the news.  Attorney General and former gun smuggler, Eric WithHolder, was busy today.  He was defending the administration’s claim to legally use drones to murder U.S. citizens before the Senate Judiciary Committee.  Due Process demands the AG be impeached for this.  He won’t be.  http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/03/06/cruz-goes-after-holder-about-constitutionality-of-using-drones-to-target-americans-on-us-soil/. 

Later, WithHolder told Senator Charles Grassley that some banks, already “too big to fail,” are also “too big to jail.”  http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20130306/BLOGS02/130309912.  “[T]he size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them…”  WithHolder smirked, barely able to contain his laughter.  Ticks laugh at people who suggest Big Club members be prosecuted when they commit felonies.  The AG went on to state that only “the little people” and “the filthy poor” need worry about prosecution.  The Dow closed near an all-time record high.

That’s all for now.
