Our headline was “Savage: A Bookstore's Fight Against the War on Books” and it was a good one, but it got rolled back in after the FBI declared the group and their president John Willingham an insane criminal enterprise that has become increasingly difficult to deal with. The review at nytimes.com is definitely fair reporting and just a bit drippy about the group trying its best to stifle dissent and to prevent its members and supporters from coming together to fight another war. That was written long before this piece went up - maybe seven articles down the line. But I think it's worth a brief summary of the information we know as of mid-April 2013. The AP report calls this group an "anarchist organization." The New York Times called them a group trying to "unleash revolutionary ideas" and a book "stuffed with pamphlets, filled with conspiracy theories, filled with vague writings, filled with fantasies."

And now, the AP reports that they're "firing all of its top aides...After an FBI informant told the news media that several of the top leaders of The Prison Letter were behind the attacks, the National Retail Federation, which represents the nation's largest retailers, said the group didn't change course even though it lost members." While most of the world simply ignores the Tea Partiers and their lunacy, here we are. And the press is equally intent on ignoring us like children who constantly want more of whatever their favorite toy is and don't get what they want until it's too late. This is precisely why we need a government action to limit the insanity of a few miscreants who have decided to make themselves the ultimate victim.

So, when I ran into Chuck M, Dan Quayle, Mark Steyn, Neal Boortz, Steve Silver, Glenn Beck, etc. I pointed out very recently that a couple of them had not only the power and the numbers, but the political backing of a friend and colleague. They had already been chosen by Chuck to be appointed as Senate Intelligence Committee chairman. They would be given a choice, being chosen by somebody who was probably the most centrist member of their own party. And he'd look at me and say, "We can't do this. We have to cooperate with each other. We always cooperate with each other.
