THE WEEKLY CARTOON: "The definitive Ted Kennedy cartoon" by Rex May http://www.baloocartoons.com http://balooscartoonblog.blogspot.com/ http://www.zazzle.com/rexfmay/gifts EDITORIAL MATTERS A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER It is more than likely now that Tuesday's address by the President to the nation's captive children being held in day-prisons across the land will be mild and general, due to the storm of protest that arose when it was announced he was going to make it. Thousands of parents, maybe more, intend to keep their kids at home that day. Others have persuaded local admnistrations not to run it at all. This is entirely the fault of the President, having exploited some messianic drive in some voters to choose him un the first place, having repeatedly called for citizens to inform on their neighbors, and having threatened us with, among other things, a civilian security corps "as powerful as the military". Or words to that effect. And now, when some of his underlings in Congress have revealed that the FEMA concentration camps the government has been accused of creating (the accusers having formerly been dismissed as paranoids) are real, and in need of funding, he expects people to let him directly address what he must surely regard as tomorrow's Obama Youth? Paraphrasing the words of a courageous disabled Marine Corps veteran who recently confronted one of Obama's Congressional minions, "Leave our chldren alone!" And be aware that, although this first attempt will now be mellowed down, the second, or the third, or the fourth will assuredly not be. This would be god-emperor must be denied at every turn if we are to survive his -- hopefully brief -- regime and regain our freedom. L. Neil Smith Publisher and Senior Columnist <i>The Libertarian Enterprise</i> THE EDITOR'S NOTES Gak. I have been busy the last couple of weeks doing manual labor. Doing it as best I can with my brand-new heart condition and moreso the fine medication that controls it (and also makes me feel tired and sensitive to sun and heat and manual labor). Also, it keeps raining, which is not what you want while working on wooden house exteriors. And I've got to be finished before the night-time temp drops to 50-degrees Fahrenheit or below, which it tends to start doing in September up here at 6,000-feet above sea-level. Or even seal-evel. The chemicals in the stain-and-finish don't set-up properly if it gets below 50, it sez. "And so it goes...."
