And while I'm thinking of it,

Go here to Cowboy Blob, lots of links to good stuff. Including some new info on the firearms confiscations in NO from Geek with a .45. If some of this checks out on the bad side, I'm going to have to revise my view of the National Guard, and I hate to do that. But if all it takes for the Guard to dump the Constitution is "I had orders", then we've got a very big problem there.
