[Gun Law Update coming soon -- the truth about the D.C. Handgun Ban case]
1- Utah's Muslim Murderer
The lamestream media told you:
An off-duty police officer halted a shooting rampage in a Salt Lake City
mall, when 18-year-old Sulejmen Talovic, wearing a trenchcoat, opened fire
on shoppers for no apparent reason. Officer Ken Hammond, having lunch
nearby, heard the shots and rushed to return fire and hold the gunman at
bay until reinforcements arrived. Who fired the shot that stopped the
criminal was unknown at press time, Paul Foy reports for The Associated
Press.
"He was such a good boy. I don't know what happened," said his aunt in a TV interview. Five people were murdered in the attack, and others wounded.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
This homicidal maniac was identified by WorldNetDaily, a highly respected
web news source, as a Muslim refugee from Bosnia, a fact somehow omitted
in the lengthy AP story. Although gunfire was required to stop the
murderer, as it routinely is, apparently none of the victims were armed.
Anti-gun-rights advocates are expected to use the Muslim's murderous spree to call for gun-control efforts aimed at people, like you and I, who didn't do anything.

2- Insensitive Video Infuriating
The lamestream media told you:
Five respectable student advisors at Long Island University are in trouble
for producing a funny parody video in which they hold a rubber duck
hostage, and threaten to cut its throat in crude Middle Eastern accents
while wearing burkha-style face masks.
"I demand iPod Nano," one of the 'terrorists' on the video says. The video has so enraged officials at the school that they've fired the five students from their jobs as resident advisors and have threatened to expel them.
Students are marching in support however, and a lawyer has been hired and is threatening the intolerant school officials.
Muslim groups have expressed outrage at the video, which was posted and then removed from YouTube. "The harm that generates out of such jokes stereotypes Muslim Americans," Gazi Khanhan of the American Muslim Alliance said on Thursday.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
It has become increasingly important to get Muslims infuriated, using
humor and routine commentary, according to free speech advocates in the
United States. "We need to show the true nature of the greatest enemy
America faces," they said.
"The Muslims believe they can unhinge our system by becoming "outraged" at any speech they dislike, even accurate jokes," said one observer who requested anonymity, fearing for his life from Muslim peace lovers who kill infidels. A basic tactic Muslims rely on is lying, which they consider honorable, if it advances their cause, he said.
"These uncivilized barbarian fanatics chop off people's body parts for minor offenses, publicly exhibit the remains, and then scream they are offended by mere speech, videos and even cartoons. They are lying scoundrels and must be exposed. Insensitive, intolerant, stereotyped and insulting remarks aimed at them are a good thing." The stereotypes typically aimed at Muslims, he said, are all true.
Many U.S. politicians are complicit with the fanatics, feigning sympathy to appear sensitive and politically correct, and are borderline traitors, the well-spoken observer observed. "Those officials who believe we should be 'sensitive' and 'tolerant' to the abusive behavior of Muslim men toward women and non-Muslims should be removed from office."
----------
3- Oscar Ratings Low
The lamestream media told you:
Oscar ratings continue to slide, as competition for viewer time, reduction
of exclusive star status from the golden Bogie/Bacall days, non-stop
overexposure of every minor scantily clad trollop, a numbing glut of
awards shows and instant idol status for wannabees continue to tarnish
Oscar's image.
This year's audience was up by a slight 0.004, even though the number of TV sets in U.S. homes grew.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Unmentioned in lamestream reports on the slipping ratings for the Academy
Awards are the real reasons so many Americans no longer idolize Hollywood:
Hopelessly debauched and depraved films of mindless violence that depend more on effects and camera work than scripts and acting; hopelessly one-sided manipulative propaganda videos nominated and winning as documentaries years in a row (Michael Moore and now Al Gore); and hosting this year by a person who makes a mockery of American values, the American family, cares more for green Hollywood multiculti-isms than red-blooded JohnWayne-isms, and is considered by tens of millions of citizens a borderline degenerate, Ellen DeGeneris (I know I'm going to take heat for calling her "borderline").
----------
4- Conjecture Wins Documentary
The lamestream media told you:
And the Oscar winner is... An Inconvenient Truth!
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
In an easily predictable result, Al Gore, the man who formerly claimed he
invented the Internet, won the Academy Award for best documentary, for a
mockumentary about global climate. In the film, which examines one side of
one theory about Earth, Gore makes horrific dystopian predictions of what
Earth will be like in 100 years, with a straight face. He predicts a
devastating 20-foot rise in sea levels. (The U.N.'s IPCC estimates suggest
a change of 8-17 inches may be possible; note that climatologists are
currently unable to predict weather one week into the future.)
The Cato Institute characterizes the film as a riveting work of science
fiction, and backs up the claim with real research from real scientists.

In other news, Mars, which has no known man-made greenhouse gases or SUVs, has been warming steadily for the past decade. Sunshine has been blamed as the culprit.
----------
5- Paramilitary Teams Assembling
The lamestream media told you:
Firearms are being purchased legally in U.S. gun stores and then smuggled
into Mexico by drug and human-smuggling gangs. Texas stores are seeing an
increase of "straw purchases," where a person with no criminal
record goes around getting arms for the criminal gangs on both sides of
the border.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Pictures obtained of some of the seized weapons indicate that they have
not been obtained legally, as suggested in lamestream reports. http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/TamaulipasWeapons
Among the seizures were 40mm grenades and at least one M16 equipped
with an M-203 grenade launcher, not currently available to U.S. citizens
at retail. Additional gear suggests paramilitary operators are planning an
assault unrelated to routine smuggling. Included in the seizures, and
unmentioned in the "news" were three civilian vehicles upgraded
with bulletproof glass, armor plate, and enough bulletproof clothing and
ammo to equip three 6-man strike teams.

Firearms purchased legally for smuggling are not purchased legally.
----------
6- Poll Accuracy Predictable
The lamestream media told you:
A new poll suggests guns are bad, should be banned, and the Brady Campaign
is leading the way to make America safer, with new gun ban plans.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Just like the surveys often sent out by pro-gun-rights groups, the new
Brady survey is more about fundraising than actually seeking anyone's
opinion. The Firearms Coalition encourages people to answer the survey and
consider following through on their fundraising appeal by writing a check
to your favorite gun-rights group. "We at the Firearms Coalition
would be very proud to receive donations in honor of Sarah Brady."

7- Democrat's Gun Ban
The lamestream media told you:
Nothing.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The rumored "assault-weapon" ban expected from Democrats in
Congress has been introduced as HR 1022. It is a 2,000-word general
firearms ban and "gun control" (disarmament) proposal that has
little to do with the now expired "assault-weapon" category
invented under president Clinton in 1994.
The bill controls vast inventories of existing firearms by redefining them as "assault weapons." Assault, as The Uninvited Ombudsman has noted previously, is a type of behavior, not a type of hardware.
From the standpoints of the civil right to arms or crime control, the bill is a travesty in direct violation of the Constitution, and a violation of the oath of office of any legislator who supports it. No action against any of the perpetrators is expected.
The bill attacks by name some of America's most basic, traditional firearms: The Colt AR-15, the M-1 carbine, the Ruger 10-22 and the Thompson, and classic import models like the SKS, AK, FN/FAL, Steyr AUG, Uzi, Galil and many more.
More than 60 firearms are named for the ban (Clinton's bill named 19), but few autoloaders could escape the proposal: it includes most semi-auto magazine-fed pistols, and rifles with a "grip," which basically excludes nothing. (This is hidden for rifles by referring to a "forward grip," but that's later defined as anything that works as a "pistol grip," which is then defined later as anything "that can function as a grip.") It's as sneaky as any language I have ever seen.
To make sure nothing is omitted from the controls, the Attorney General is granted unrestricted power to include virtually anything else, disguised with "sporting purposes" language. All semi-auto shotguns are also banned.
New conditions for background checks, private sales, children,
magazines, imports and more are included in this
"assault-weapon" bill. Read it yourself, the language is fairly
plain, by entering "HR 1022" here:

8- Next 100 Hours
The lamestream media told you:
The first 100 hours of Congress under Democrat rule was amazing.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
You weren't told much about Congress under the second 100 hours,
confirming critics' fears that the media only reports what the government
tells it to report.
----------
9- Department of Peace
The lamestream media told you:
Nothing.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The left wing of the Democrat party, lead by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH),
has introduced a bill to form the swell sounding U.S. Dept. of Peace.
This would be a cabinet-level position, with a Secretary of Peace, Undersecretary of Peace, and dozens upon dozens of other officials, each with a staff of their own. The starting budget will be only eight thousand million dollars ($8 billion), and will grow only as fast as everything else at the federal level.
According to a presentation attended by The Uninvited Ombudsman, the new Dept. will avoid the usual bureaucratic waste and inefficiency because it will be, "an umbrella group" absorbing other agencies, and "it will be streamlined and efficient." Why other federal agencies can't also operate that way was unexplained. The Dept. will be better than a private operation, a non-profit, or a think tank, organizers are sure.
Promoters are quick to point out that the Dept. of Peace will "research, facilitate and articulate peaceful nonviolent solutions to conflict." They are less quick to point out that the new Dept. will have policy making powers, social engineering programs, indoctrinations for school children called "educational programs," enforcement powers, and more, in its 5,000-word enabling statute, HR 808.
As currently written, the Dept. of Defense will have to confer with the Dept. of Peace before it can do anything. It was not clear from the discussions if any of the bill's supporters have read the bill.
Not to overlook an opportunity for backdoor gun control, the Peace Dept. will, "(5) analyze existing policies, employ successful, field-tested programs, and develop new approaches for dealing with the implements of violence, including gun-related violence and the overwhelming presence of handguns."
The reason the lamestream media missed this story are unclear.

10- Yes! Counterintuitive Man looks at voting statistics from his friend Professor Joe Olson, at Hamline University (Minn.), no?
Concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Gore: 19; Bush: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

================================
Comments help keep me going. Alan.
================================
Correction:
"Koran" means 'recitation,' or 'recite aloud.' It's "Islam" that means submission. I knew that. I goofed. Further proof that, despite the rumors, I'm human.
Observation:
The "news" media is getting so bad it's getting hard to stomach for long enough to write these reports. Few stories appear that cannot be torn to shreds on ethical and bias grounds. Story selection and slant are borderline propaganda, on a good day. TV has become unwatchable, including the formerly interesting FOX, which now runs features on fat people and new products, and interviews reporters instead of newsmakers, while showing inflammatory old file footage over a hot drumbeat. Muslim jihad madness is still blandly disguised as vague terrorism. And self-imposed pressure to conclude my book on the threats to free speech -- Bomb Jokes for Airports -- may just tear me away from Page Nine for a while. Nah. Outrage at the morning paper will drive me to these therapeutic critiques before my coffee, as it has been doing now for a year.
