"Available only through this special offer..."

Some bright entrepreneur is offering Barack Obama coins.  I guess people are into all kinds of collectibles, but good grief...

Barack Obama's inspired millions of Americans with his meteoric rise...

He gave America new hope.

I don't know what the announcer should be pointed and laughed at for more: His cheesy voice or his cheesy message.

Regardless--people are into this kind of stuff, don't ask me why.  But if the economy really tanks, they may just find they have nothing to put on those collector's plates, and how little worth those dolls or pins actually retain in hard times, where the real value will be reaped by those who've amassed tangibles like precious metals, or, say, primers, and are willing to barter.

Still, to each his own, and if it brings you joy, who am I to be judgmental? But I do have a question regarding fundamental fairness:

Why did the feds raid Sunshine Mint and steal all their Liberty Dollars?

And ask yourself why the one with the illusion of value is apparently  "legal," and the government considers the one with actual value not to be.

There's a metaphor in here somewhere...

Opposition builds against Holder

The Washington Post is reporting growing resistance to the attorney general nominee:

"The attorney general nominee, Mr. Holder, has got serious questions to respond to with regard to his role in the . . . pardons at the end of the Clinton administration and some other matters," McConnell said yesterday. "Beyond that, I don't anticipate trouble for the new president's nominees."

I hope those "other matters" include the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Sen. McConnell.

In related non-developments, NRA management remains silent on the matter, despite NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox's assertion that:

NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) endorsed 23 candidates for the U.S. Senate, of whom at least 14 were victorious...

And we can't even ask one of those to put a hold on Holder...?

Knox on Gun Talk

The Firearms Coalition's Jeff Knox talked yesterday about the Holder nomination and why it's important for gun owners to oppose it on Tom Gresham's Gun Talk Radio.  You can listen to the program here.

Now go do the right thing...

Speaking of talk radio, congratulations to Los Angeles Gun Rights Examiner John Longenecker, whose book, "Safe Streets in the Nationwide Carry of Concealed Handguns" is being featured by Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

Now go do the right thing and get a copy.
