So the boys (and girls) in Burns

are NOT taking the reasonable way out.

Seems the Feds are trying to end this as peacefully as possible. But the folks at the Wildlife refuge don’t seem to be reasonable (or rational). 

These folks appear to be suicidal. They lost, no one rallied to them. Their leaders are arrested (except for Ryan Payne, who appears to be a government agent (I could be wrong))

This isn’t gonna end well…..and it isn’t gonna be the fault of the Feds, either.

Y’know, the Patriot Movement doesn’t need whackadoodles like this.

ETA: Update:: They finally surrendered.  Which was the smart thing….. Having said that, I thought they were “Not afraid to die” and had planned to “fight to the last” and all that.

I am glad that it is finally over.

Down 80%

Seems that since Maine told folks they have to do SOMETHING in order to receive food stamps (at least if  you are an adult with no dependents) that the number of people on the rolls has, oddly enough, dropped by 80%.

Now, if the rest of the country would follow that lead, we’d be able to stop wasting our money on people who have no ambition…

Personally, I think that we should drug test everyone who receives any handout from the government, state, local, or Federal. I’d be willing to be that there would be a similar drop in participation if folks had to make a choice….
