Four supporters of Plainfield tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown were arrested yesterday and charged with helping the Browns obstruct justice, according to the U.S. Marshal for New Hampshire.
The four men, who were arrested outside of New Hampshire, include Cirino Gonzalez, the longtime Brown blogger who boasted of bringing a .50-caliber rifle to the house; and Daniel Riley, the Albany electrician who was Tasered by marshals in June after stumbling upon a surveillance team while walking the Browns’ dog.
The four men have all spent time at the Browns’ fortified concrete home over the last eight months while the couple has refused to surrender to authorities. The Browns were both convicted of tax crimes and sentenced to more than five years in prison. But they have remained holed up at home, thanks, in part, to a rotating cast of supporters bringing them food, supplies and cell phones. The Browns contend that there is no law requiring them to pay federal income taxes, and they have vowed to die before turning themselves in.
These charges are ridiculous. They are just trying to scare current and potential supporters. These people won’t be scared. They are standing up to a hostile organization which is threating their freedom.

Hostile organization. Hostel organization would imply that the government is lodging German backpackers and that is some how threatening their freedom. Quite a humerus thought.

Come on xyz, humerus was intentional (the somehow was not). Also, where have you been? Your input is not on these issues is not only requested, but required.
It’s funny. The article originally made me think of the scene from the Simpson’s where they open a youth hostel and the boarders are telling them how much America sucks. I can see protesting that.

explaination of grammar–double negatives
at anyrate.
ill get around to injecting my input on issues when i have some free time at work to sit and continuously click the refresh button in my browser. this has been a bad week.
your links to the topics and explanation of natural monopolies are appreciated, but nonetheless unnecessary. ive been busy researching the appropriate fable that will compliment that and future discussions.
i cannot turn down another opportunity to have you let out a firm, loud dissatisfied sigh–one that is strong enough to alarm another teacher.

Phew, that is some pretty brutal grammatical gibberish. Anyway, it was a typo but I’m beyond the point of being able to edit it. They should form some committee in Washington to edit my posts and fix typos.

No trap. Actually I just found it amusing based on this.
Emphasis on edit.
I’ll have you know I mopped the floor with some of the high school freshmen I played last week. It may have been their first time playing chess, but I still kicked their butts.

“…with some of the high school freshmen I played last week. It may have been their first time playing chess, but…”
fun to edit that sentence.
