"Hi. I'm Al Sharpton, better known as The Rev.Mr. Al. I have some other peoples' money and I want your gun."
The Rev. Mr. Al's disciples will be at the church tomorrow, cash in hand, allegedly paying $200 - $600 for working guns.
(Note the picture. In the second row down, third from left, is what might be a nice old Smith spur trigger. Don't tell Tam. She'd probably get all hostile at the thought of it being melted down for a manhole cover, especially before she can profile it as a Sunday Smith.

If you're too far away from Harlem, you can shed that pesky old Luger in Portland tomorrow. For a fiream they'll give you a $50 local megamart gift certificate. A BB gun will net you a whopper of a $5 "Burgerville" certificate. Cheapass Oregoniads.

An idle wonder: Do they promise to turn off the surveillance cameras -- especially the ones with digital face recognition -- in and near the buyback sites?

Mika, you idiot
I've always kind of liked you because you are capable of keeping your mouth shut even when the MSNBC cameras are rolling and because you look pretty sexy making those moues of disgust at Joe.
But you closed the segment with The Rev.Mr. Al Sharpton this morning by wishing him well in scheme to "keep the guns from coming into the city and going out."
And going out? Seems to me you'd be thrilled with lethal weapons leaving Gotham. But, then, I've never been very good at finding the logic in things teevee news personalities say. I'm sure the lack is in me.
(The Rev.Mr. Al was on the show to hustle for tomorrow's NY gun buyback.)

Style note
I shall henceforth require my correspondents to use word frobnicate from time to time. As, for instance, threatening: "If those damned statists keep frobnicating the Constitution, I am going to kick their incrementalist arses."
I know. All geekish young readers are already aware of the term, but my South African pal Wouter has this morning bestowed the lovely gift of discovery on me. He had to frobnicate this and that to make a new computer battery work.

On a related note, I am pleased to see reduced media usage of the horrible and unnecessary wordoid "bling." Thank you all for heeding its official prohibition by the authoritative TMR.

Passages: The Heater from Van Meter
Bob Feller of Van Meter, Iowa, gun captain aboard the USS Alabama (BB 60) and baseball player, dies at the age of 92.
He rode Alabama through her stint in the North Atlantic as part of the British Home Fleet, then through the Canal to the Pacific where, from the Gilberts to Tokyo, he and his shipmates didn't miss many of the major campaigns.
He was not a draftee.
He is the only USN chief petty officer in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
