Freedom batons are a-swinging this week.

Let's start from the top, precious few readers.

When you're sick of me, Mr. Grigg shakes his sword-cane at the black batons of The Man.


Meanwhile, city by city, our own occupation reaches another step up on its Surge.

MIAMI - Patrol officers will have the option of carrying assault rifles as police try to combat the rise in the use of similar weapons by criminals, Miami's police chief said Sunday.

Yes, gentle readers, your friendly neighborhood law enforcement wielding ArmaLite fifteens on the street corners, ready to spring into rapid-shot SWAT action at the jaywalking menace, thirty at a time. To counter this friendly challenge and keep things fair, I suggest keeping a persuader and a carbine in the trunk of your vehicle. Note: always have the proper forms of firearms-related permission from your local Sheriff's department and two forms of State-issued identification, my free American brothers.


I remember a joke from a comedic website (which I unfortunately can't recall at the moment), "If I had a quarter for every time I had a dollar, I'd be in Canada." Not anymore, comrades.

The dollar took another fall on currency markets Thursday, reaching one-to-one parity against the Canadian dollar for the first time in 30 years and falling to a new low against the 13-nation European currency.

Perfect time for the Federal Reserve and Congress to consider implementing the 'Amero'.


I am sure you've all seen/heard the disgusting makey-uppy-charges video. If so, you've also likely heard that the jack-boot pig parted with his badge this week. Well, good, but not good enough. Likely now the consumerist mass, brains washed, is going to think that this shock troop was the only megalomaniacal, power-hungry Neanderthal with a badge. It takes a scourge to become a cop and a monster to stay one. Let us all pray his next job is awful, and that he gets berated and humiliated ten times more than citizens he antagonized did.

Not every citizen has the benefit of a recording device on their person or vehicle when they're forced to interact with a shock troop; it makes you wonder how many times a day in each community this really happens.


Oh, lookie! Thanks again, Grigg!

On a lighter note, I've been hooked on Pure Reason Revolution; some prog rock-folk. Try it on.

"No. You can't do that." (There are a mixture of some old n' new ones in here.)

...and a werd from comrade Naight:

"Also, come see us play at Stasiu's Place this Thursday night in celebration of the Ides of September and Lee [Brenn]'s birthday. Stasiu's Place is a great new venue in NE that offers a wide range of music many nights of the week. Help them get the place rolling and join us for some pints.

Thanks!
-The Jacobins"

The Book of Brenn

…and the Lord descended from the heavens, forming as a blinding apparition before Rupert Murdoch, and spoketh, thus “I charge thee starteth a news network, to wet their thirst for blood and distribute propaganda until my children can be indoctrinated no more.”

“How will I complete this formidable, yet holy charge, O Lord?” Rupert inquired, averting his eyes.

“You will venture to the faraway Sodom and Gamora and meet two troglodytes, a Hannity and O’Reilly. These acolytes will serve as your criers.”

“I will do as you speak, your Greatness.”

The voice boomed its final words, before fading, “Afterwards, you shall seek out the wretched witch, Van Susteren, who’s deformed hideousness will rival only that of the serpent who will accompany and bicker with The Hannity.”

So began the New Year of our Lord, and the peak of the Kingdom’s worship of the Authority, and the great crusade against brown people overseas, as was God’s Will.

"Cute buttons like pointy little teeth, woah-oh, don't bite me." (awe, Sandman)

Debate this evening, 7:30 central, on the Two-Minutes Hate station; rather, tonight it'll be 94 minutes of hate and six minutes of Ron Paul love.
