If the SEC investigation results in Krispy Kreme going out of a business, the revolution is on. I can be passionate about donuts. I’m just saying, you know.

The on again/off again KNS DemCon blog has some more entries.

Memo to Tom:

Blogging can be real time and you can post short entries.

Memo to the KNS:

If you need someone to do the RepubliCon, let me or any of these fine people know.

I don’t see what all the hubbub is about, sounds like a weekend drive to me, except for the Arabic books part. No, I kid. That is quite frightening, on the surface. However, it doesn’t appear to me that he was on his way to cause mayhem as the only weapon he had was a 9mm pistol.

Per this:

There has been a sharp increase in the number of sexual offences and gun crime in Ireland, figures revealed today.

Statistics released by the Garda Commissioner confirm that firearms offences have risen by more than 60% compared to the first half of 2003 while the number of female rape cases increased by 27%.

Yahoo has a slideshow from the free speech zones. Some eerie stuff. Notice the military policeman. Whatever happened to Posse Comitatus?

From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress.

Those of us that ordinarily vote Republican, who are disappointed with Dubya’s statement that he’d sign the assault weapons ban if it made it to his desk, aren’t the only ones upset with our usual choice in candidates:

Gun-control advocates say that Sen. John Kerry’s presidential campaign is divided about how vocal the senator should be in calling for the assault-weapons ban to be renewed.

Kerry’s reluctance to mention the controversial issue on the campaign trail has agitated proponents of the ban, which is scheduled to expire Sept. 13.

Kerry supports the ban, and, earlier this year, he changed his campaign schedule to vote for it to be extended. But some gun-control advocates say he has not done enough.

Asked if Kerry will highlight the issue in his campaign, Blaine Rummel, a spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence said, “There is some shiftiness,” said.

Another gun-control advocate said the campaign is divided on the matter and pointed out that Kerry does not mention gun control measures in his speeches.

If Kerry isn’t gun control enough for you, then I don’t know who would be. However, if Kerry is elected (unlikely in my opinion), expect the push for the ban.
