#10  The linky symbol is in the bottom row below the comment box, the one that looks to me like the Earth sitting on a pair of glasses -- but apparently they're meant to be two links in a chain. Having copied the URL, type the word or phrase you want to hold the link, highlight it/them, then click on the link icon and paste the URL into the box after erasing the placeholder "http://". Click OK, and that should do it. Standard HTML doesn't always work here in Rantburg, but many of us don't know it, and I, as least, have not yet used all the icons Fred provides.

#8  Yes, I put that in the comment window via HTML, but for some reason the comment would disappear when I hit submit a couple of times and subsequently posted as shown. Thanks for getting the link on the board.

#6  Have the emails explaining the "confusion" already been deleted, or does that not happen until a subpoena is actually served?

#4  Appears the business owner in Ferguson, Mo. where the "Gentle Giant" lifted his cigars has experienced a bit of squeezing as well.

#3  Brookman, a former police officer and Army veteran…dealing in vintage coins and selling firearms — were labeled “high risk” by federal bureaucrats as part of an Obama administration initiative called Operation Choke Point.

In that statement lies the problem. IMO is that Brookman got "profiled" as a white, possible right winger and a threat to the left.

#2  The Feds will also examine the personal accounts of the business owners as well.

#1  You ever notice how prosperous the United States has become in the Obama Administration. Business is booming. Jobs everywhere. People enjoying themselves. Everywhere you look people living the "good life".

Its enough to make you get a thrill up your leg.

Hope and Change have sure done it for all the poor and the minorities also. People are lining up to get "free stuff". Its practically a Paradise to anyone who just kicks back and bays at the Moon. You should try it. ( as soon as it gets dark in Ferguson)
