I'm all registered for this year's "Freedom Fest"! The Z and I will be making a little road trip out West. Hopefully I can meet and shake hands with both Tom Woods and JP Sears. I really want to attend the Mount Rushmore tour too, the day before the conference starts-- but being a national park, I need to verify that they don't require a WuFlu Burqa. Ditto for my lodging; I'm looking at all of the area motels which have direct outdoor access from the rooms.

Worst-case scenario, I have a camouflaged balaclava and a pair of sunglasses along with a police-style ammo vest, which essentially make me look like the WuFlu-spreading terrorist the Karens think I am, as very little of my face is exposed, and I look like I'm about to head into a war zone: why not live up to their expectations? If I had my carry permit, I could even loop my rifle over my shoulders and bring that around with me-- open carry of long guns is legal in Minnesota, with a permit.

I should take a picture of my outfit: it's pretty funny.

On that note, if I were Jeff Zucker I'd troll people by changing the narrative every week: one week I'd run a full-time ticker showing all of the car accident deaths, and have my anchors breathlessly report on how many "cases" there were-- then observe as nation-wide petitions start overnight to ban car travel. The next week, I'd shift to deaths in the home like falling down stairs or slipping in the shower-- then watch as everyone scrambles to ban stair cases; and so on.

It'd be hilarious! The American public is so brain dead, gullible, and eager to delegate their thinking and follow orders, I frankly don't think there is any limit to what they would push for or condone.
