Alphie sent us this link: More people are tapping their 401(k) for cash. JWR’s comment: Notice in the photograph accompanying this article what the man’s elbow is resting on. That picture tells a thousand words.

Bob G. mentioned a news feed on Asian Avian flu. He said that it is updated once every 15 minutes.

I heard that the organizers of the Appleseed Project have 13 simultaneous rifle training events (one for each of the original 13 colonies) planned for April 19th. They are hoping to get 1,000 shooters on the line that day. What could be better than learning about the events of Lexington and Concord on the anniversary of their occurrence? The Appleseed training is a bargain. Get involved!

Patrick H. and Ben sent this: Montana is up in arms about the supreme court’s upcoming D.C. v. Heller decision on the Second Amendment. Patrick’s comments: “The Montana legislature meets only once every two years, and is not scheduled to convene again until January of 2009. (OBTW, perhaps there is a lesson in there for the career politicians in the more populous states.) So this resolution was drafted [informally] between the legislative sessions. I wouldn’t be surprised if Wyoming and Idaho follow suit.” OBTW, there is an interesting discussion of the various Heller court briefs over at the Volokh Blog.
