Obama In Canada: It’s Great to Be Here in Iowa

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police met you at the foot of your plane. They don’t make many mass incursions into Des Moines. The newness [...]
Man Pulled Over, Secret Service Dispatched For Anti-Obama Sign
19. February 2009
The cop perceived “Abort Obama, not the unborn” as a real assassination threat. Because we all know presidential assassins broadcast their plans to kill the Commander-in-Chief in their car window.

19. February 2009
A military buddy of mine emailed me about the possibility of such a take-down a few days ago, but I (honestly) didn’t take it too seriously because it seemed like a stretch.
