They’ve gotten some strong support — just not enough of it. I received an email update from them today saying that anybody who donates $150 or more will now get all of these items:
- This Just Announced Hoodie
- Signed Movie Poster
- Bandana and Frisbee
- DVD of finished film
- Bumper sticker
- Digital download of the finished film
- And campaign updates
I’m going to up my contribution. If they don’t make goal, nobody pays anything. Your pledge comes back to you. If they do make goal, maybe their work will save some lives and knock down some police staters.
Kickstarter project. They need to raise $100,000 by November 15 for this to happen. I’ll be contributing.
You see what I mean about there always being a greater need? And this story really needs to be told — and needs the help of everyone who loves dogs and is outraged at the terror campaign badge-bearing thugs are conducting against them and their people. Because make no mistake, even if you don’t give a damn about dogs, this is part of the war being waged against the peaceable citizens of this country.
Oh, and even if you don’t give a damn about dogs, scroll down on that Kickstarter page and just look at those victims’ faces.
(Links for this came in almost simultaneously from two people. Thank you, 12bitphoto and Hobbit.)
You’ve heard of Bridezilla. And the Wedding Guest from Hell. Now meet The Mad Bomber Groom. Guess you gotta give him points for creativity. Not brains. Definitely not brains. But creativity.
Death panels. Not a good thing. But yes, they’re real (Hellllooo, Canada!). And in the eyes of those who think we’re too stupid to make our own decisions, they are a good thing. (Terms like slippery slope and camel’s nose come to mind here.)
Sure, it’s miles away from 3D printing metal guns. Ages. But this gadget is probably making the ATF nervous about the future. And maybe someday soon some far more advanced version will make gunfolk very cheerful. (H/T MJR)
Okay. Short quiz: When’s the last time you felt your life was endangered by a Jack Russell terrier? A. Absolutely freaking never; are you kidding me? B. Once, when one was riding on the back of a charging Rottweiler. C. There was that time my ex tried to stuff a Jack Russell terrier down my throat; that was scary. D. When I worked for the government; after all, that dog weighed 12 whole pounds! It was a menace, I tell you! A menace!
And speaking of thugs Our Heroic Protectors, the state of Utah answers an open records request with a gobsmacking response.
I’m not sure how big a “win” this is going to be for Bitcoin. But it’s interesting. Sorta reminds me of this, though. (Tip o’ hat to D in comments.)
In this day of escalating medical costs, this is pretty darned great: testing for Alzheimers with a ruler and a scoop of peanut butter.
Damnit! You shouldn’t have to opt out of being used in anybody’s ad scheme! But since that’s Google’s repugnant new policy, here’s how to avoid being sold as a product endorser. This is mainly for people who’ve spread themselves all over various Google sites. You don’t do that, do you?
But be of good cheer. Microsoft (Microsoft???) wants you to be able to protect your privacy … using digital rights management. Huh.
“Dogs are people, too.” At least in their abilities to feel and anticipate — something that will come as no surprise to anybody who’s lived with them, but is apparently news in neuroscience. (Tip o’ hat to MLS)
Federal theater of the absurd. (I also agree with Carl that the Crazy Horse monument is so superior to Mt. Rushmore in every way that even after the silly feddies remove the barriers I’d still just drive on past and watch free enterprise at work a few miles down the road.)
Erm … I don’t usually read Glamour. But I found this heartfelt smackdown of a money-hungry bride on a forum I frequent. Even as a young girl, I hated the notion of weddings; these days when they’ve become big excuses to put families into debt while the couple collects big cash gifts, this response from a guest is a touch of sanity.
Here’s another “non-journalist who wouldn’t be entitled to First Amendment freedom-of-press protections if TPTB have their way.
You may have heard that the dollar ain’t worth sh*t these days. Well ….
And finally, here are three from the Commentariat: How to tell your mother and your boss why they should object to the surveillance state; Choosing the gun that’s right for you; and seriously now, here’s some Pollyanna in rose-colored glasses on some serious mind-altering drugs who sees benefits in the surveillance state. (H/T finders, one and all!)
