Rabbit’s Busy Day
Much to do today. Plenty of errands and running about, plus Greed League tonight. Won’t have much time to blog.
- What happened to Spring? We had the mildest Winter, and then it got pleasantly warm, the Forsythias are in full bloom ... and it went down to 20°F last night, with the wind howling. Brr! Let’s hope that it doesn’t frost kill the early buds, but does kill off the stink bugs that have started coming out of hiding.
- Gas prices are up again, another 4¢/gal at my local station. Damn.
- a brush fire in Colorado has killed 1 and forced almost 1000 to evacuate
- NC Congressweasel Brad Miller roots for the Taliban - if they’re playing basketball against Duke. This guy must be a graduate of the Biden School of Public Utterance. D’oh!!!
- It’s looking like Trayvon Martin may have been the instigator in the clash that got him killed. Oh, and he was violent and a drug dealer. And the baby faced photo of him that the media ran is not only old, but altered to make him look sweeter. And Zimmerman’s picture was cherry picked too, to make it look like he was in county lockup orange and this was a mugshot. Turns out that Trayvon was a 6’4” linebacker, with gold caps on his teeth and several tattoos. And on a 10 day suspension for beating up a school bus driver. Not so choir boy after all. All this has turned up in the past couple of days, but the police report that says that he attacked Zimmerman from behind and beat the crap out of him, Zimmerman’s wounds, and witness corroboration, has been available for a month now. If it were up to me, I’d arrest the media for stirring the pot. Seems like this one could be exactly the opposite of how it’s been presented. So of course his parents are mad at the police for leaking the information, which is a matter of public record IIRC? Black people, you’ve been played. Again. Be your own Breitbart and don’t accept the meme: whatever the MSM news says is probably a lie.
- Related: Horry Clap. New Black Panthers thug Hashim Nzinga, the guy who went on TV to post “wanted” posters on Zimmerman, got arrested for having a gun while being a felon. He was recently convicted of fraud. And not just any gun, it was the dreaded FN Five-SeveN, the one “made specifically to defeat body armor and kill police” if you believe the hoplophobe hype.
A New Black Panther Party leader who announced a $10,000 reward for the capture of the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin was arrested Monday outside Atlanta for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, DeKalb County Sheriff’s office said.
...
Last month, Nzinga was convicted for felony deposit account fraud in nearby Gwinnett County, Bell said. It is illegal for a convicted felon to carry a firearm in the state and police were alerted to Nzinga’s alleged possession after the store’s transaction, Bell said.
I have no idea if the fraud case was Nzinga’s first felony conviction, or even his first criminal prosecution. Guess his lawyers forgot to tell him that he had to turn in his firearms, not sell them. Meh; I think he’s got a chance, assuming it was his first felony. Any decent lawyer ought to be able to argue that having these expensive possessions taken from him without reasonable compensation is excessive punishment. Even having the police sell them for him would be a duress situation, as anyone would know they could offer the cops pennies on the dollar and not get turned down.
But “un-kudos” to CNN and other TV dopes for having this guy on, practically the very same day his felony conviction came down, and not knowing or saying a word about it. Bias, or just plain laziness?
Ok Drew, put the keyboard down, and step away from the blog. You’ve got things to do today, get ‘em done.

- Finally an actual archeologist has found a horde of Roman coins in England! 30,000 of them, buried near the ancient city of Bath. All the other finds have been due to some yob with a metal detector. Must be nice to get a little professional respect for once, doing the job that the horrid amateurs seem to do better.
- The good old Al Jazeera news folks have decided NOT to run the murder videos mysteriously sent to them, that show French jihadist Mohamed Merah killing soldiers and a Jewish family. Smart move on their part I say; that should keep any stray French JDAMs from accidentally falling on their offices. Meanwhile, French cops have arrested Merah’s brother, figuring that it takes two to tango, and at least two to jihad.
- Recovery? What recovery? Latest report shows home sales down again after a microscopic uptick the past couple months. Now prices have hit a 10 year low, down more than a full third since their bubble peak in the summer of 2006. Meanwhile, The Bernank follows Obama Rule #1 and blames somebody else: the Fed didn’t cause the housing bubble. No, Fannie and Freddie did, under Carter and Clinton’s laws, with full support from the Fed. Shades of difference to the folks now living in cardboard boxes. PS - the Bernank bears are back, to deal with QE3. A B- effort IMO.
Ok, I’m out of here. Play nice with the other children.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
