The Guerena family is suing

for wrongful death.

Yeah, discovery on this is going to be real interesting. For the family. For the sheriff's office and tac team, the word might be more like 'nightmare'.


So Officer Lupo is a liar, and committed perjury, but still has his badge? The department and prosecutors just won't want him to testify in court in the future? And we're supposed to trust ANYTHING that comes from these clowns?


Some real interesting developments and projects for military use. On the 'chameleon' camouflage, especially at a distance or in low-light conditions you wouldn't have to have perfection: if it just blurs/makes indistinct the wearer it makes him a much more difficult target.


So Veep Biden thinks the corrupt Corzine is the smartest guy he knows; and he helped Obama design the bailouts? And do other things? No wonder things are so effed up.


As Insty says, "Faster, please." My knees would love the help. And this for heart trouble...

Why do we think a lot of academics suck? Well...
The professor, who specializes in constitutional law, wrote the email last week in response to a university drive to collect items for U.S. troops, like sunblock and sanitary products. He also wrote that sympathy for American troops in harm’s way is “not particularly rational in today’s world.”


In Gunwalker news,
Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department sought to manipulate reporters’ coverage of Operation Fast and Furious during the days preceding a November 1 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, new emails obtained by The Daily Caller indicate.

Emails between senior Justice Department officials and investigators in the office of Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley show that congressional staffers leading the investigation into Operation Fast and Furious requested information about Operation Wide Receiver — a Bush administration program – and other similar cases, more than a full month before the DOJ leaked information to selected media outlets on October 31.
