The videos at Free Keene remind me of a picture I took in November, which got me searched and questioned by a behavioral specialist in Moline. I did wait for about 5 minutes for their instructional video to cycle through, at which point I was able to snap the following photograph of the TSA […]
Ron’s planning to deliver a lecture at USC (Columbia, South Carolina) this coming Monday.
And I plan to broadcast it live from my android phone, 3G permitting.
The broadcast will be right here at jessebickel.com, tentatively thanks to the neat little app from bambuser.com.
Don’t expect a better than 174-pixel-wide display, and crappy audio, and a fuzzy view […]
Today was exciting. Between the hours of 10 am and 12 pm, several Citizens stood up and spoke in favor of the Constitutional Tender Act (full text). The first was Representative Bobby Franklin, then Dr. Bill Greene, Aaron Krowne, me, Sean Mangieri, and Franklin Sanders. Hopefully the video will go up soon […]
The President:
At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.
I didn’t think about it at the time, but notice how he doesn’t even mention […]
A 56-year-old man from the Midwestern US state of Wisconsin has been arrested after shooting his lawn mower in his garden because it would not start.
The BBC headline was “US man charged for shooting mower.” The article is presented as a silly story with a happy ending. Some drunkard is wielding an illegal […]
I misplaced my ID before flying this week (see the earlier post about ID requirements). The experience was not as involved as the other story I had read.
When asked for ID by each TSA agent, I truthfully said “I misplaced it.” The first agent I spoke to (Steve) referred me to the neighboring TSA agent […]
I missed this story last week. Papers, Please! reports you can no longer fly without ID. The TSA Press Relase confirms it.
This new procedure will not affect passengers that may have misplaced, lost or otherwise do not have ID but are cooperative with officers. Cooperative passengers without ID may be subjected to additional […]
I just saw a story at the Washington Post announcing Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s plans for the demise of financial institutions. He thinks that because government is the expected answer to problems, we ought to give people more intervention. Because it’s a lack of intervention that causes problems or something.
Let’s see what he […]
This is a story from Monday actually, but I didn’t read the article until today. The Oklahoma House of Representatives sent a message to Washington. The Senate has yet to pass the bill, but it sure would be nice if states asserted their sovereignty like this:
“The State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty under […]
Again, more checkpoints. And getting people used to having our cities feel like Baghdad. Hopefully some court somewhere will make a ruling against these checkpoints.
Story.
