Hard to tell, but it looks like a Muscovoy Duck to me. They’re big, and they have a more goose-like attitude than most ducks.
Mess with the Ducklings and you get the Momma!
So in my spam trap I found a comment from Robert Farago that had been properly sorted.
Actually two, because there is another of him bitching that “I didn’t post” his first. Sorry Robbie, but I don’t control that, your comments are spam, and I have no control over that.
Still I’ll post it for fun.
We’ve dealt with the plagiarism issue. I’ve publicly apologized for the post that was inadvertently lifted by one of my editors. The images we copy from other sites are covered under fair use, but removed at the originator’s request. I’m not going to refight that battle here. You’ve made up your mind and that’s that.
I do, however, object to your accusation of “lukewarm” support of gun rights. Anyone who reads the site on a regular basis knows that I believe that all Americans have a Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. I am against any and all registration of firearms or firearms owners. I believe felons who have served their time should have their gun rights restored. Etc.
To quote My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, you judge me you make yourself look bad. If however, you want to end this needless feud, I would be happy to discuss how we can help channel some of our traffic to your site and, I would hope, vice versa. As odious as you may find it, we are on the same team.
First we’ll start at the middle. Robert claims he’s on our side of gun rights, rather than the truth, he’s in it for ad revenue and T&E guns. Its simple, Robert, I can keep telling people I’m the King of Spain…won’t make it true unless I can back it up.
As for his BS about not wanting to be a plagiarist and a general thief I’ll supply a link to Robert’s Site (if you want to take that down, Robert, I’ll just re-post a screen cap of your site, the internet is forever). Odd, I expressed my displeasure in Robert’s use of my image (provided generously by the awesome bluesun), and you can see in the comments he very kindly tells me to pound sand.
This is Robert’s MO, Hell I shook the guy’s hand at the NRA Convention in Pennsylvania, and then immediately asked him why he had been so vocal about open carry…and he lied to my face that he had no recollection about such a post. Nice, huh?
As for the promise to “Channel Traffic” here A) I don’t want his garbage, and B) He’s already laid that crap-hand on the table.
Oh and Linoge has sent me his letter to the Second Amendment foundation, full of links to many of Robert’s bullshit. I’ll post it below the page break if anybody cares.
I judge you as a scumbag because that’s what you are. All that makes me look like is rational. If you want to make peace with me, sell The Truth About Guns, just like you did your shitty car site and let your only talented Blogger Nick Leghorn run the show, and go find some other cause to SEO and troll.
I really don’t care if you choose to accept my terms, because I really don’t much care for you, for obvious reasons.

DidMajor Terrorist is appealing his forcible shaving.
A military appeals court wants to hear oral arguments before deciding if the Army psychiatrist charged in the Fort Hood shooting rampage can be forcibly shaved before his murder trial.
Fort Hood released the decision late Tuesday from the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
Maj. Nidal Hasan says he grew a beard because his Muslim faith requires it, despite the Army’s ban on beards.
He is appealing the trial judge’s order that he be forcibly shaved, which his attorneys say violates his right to practice his religion without substantial government intrusion.
I don’t know how necessary this all is (also I’m not in the military, so maybe those of you can help me on this), Can’t they just ban him from the trial (ie contempt of court….I mean if you pull out your Hog during a trail, they remove you) until he shaves. Its not like a defendant NEEDS to be present to be tired or convicted.
What am I missing here? Why are we burning so many calories over this guy’s obvious troll of the system? Especially when we KNOW he did it, and know WHY he did it. Give him his fair trial, weather he wants to play or not, and then use the force when sticking a needle in his arm!

Five people were killed in a car accident in Ontario after the driver blew through a red light early Sunday morning.
According to Ontario police, a 2005 Nissan Sentra was traveling southbound on Haven Avenue, when it ran a red light. The car lost control and hit a wall along the west side of Haven Avenue, coming to rest in the rear yard of a house.
The incident happened at about 1:41 a.m. on Haven Avenue, south of Creekside Drive.
Four people inside the Nissan were pronounced dead at the scene. Another occupant was transported to an area hospital but was later pronounced dead. The identities of the crash victims were not released, pending family notification.
Now if this had been a gun, this would be ALL OVER the web as a “Mass Shooting”…but its not, because its not a “Gun Death”. No call to heavily restrict cars, or smartphones, or alcohol. Well of course not, because people who use the metric of “Gun Death” like to drive, drink, and use their iPhones. Also I’ll note that while Joan Peterson drives, owns an iPhone, and I suspect occasionally hits a bottle, she’s not so irresponsible to do all three at the same time. And she’s a LUNATIC! I don’t much care for her, but I’m not asking for her rights to be taken away because she has NOTHING to do with this case.
Of course she won’t extend the same courtesy to us. Think about that!

So a major group gave a pretty nice award to a plagiarist and luke-warm supporter of gun rights. Alan says this means nobody is listening to the blogs.
Meanwhile Miguel thinks its just old-style political work in a new world, and people sticking with what they know.
I have received an email from SAF pointing out they were unaware of Farago’s ugly and deplorable behavior. I believe them. Not everybody into guns or gun rights is into blogs, or Facebook, or Youtube or any other popular new media. Also Mr. Farago is NOT a Gun Rights or gun expert, what he IS good at is SEO, so google searches for his name and various terms, generally just lead back to his web page. Hell if you type in this post by Tam into google Farago’s plagiarism of it is the #1 hit. Essentially to dig up the truth about his site is you need to have an idea what’s going on in the first place, which if they were researching him for the award, they probably weren’t.
I personally think Alan today saying “Blogging is Dead” would be like somebody in 2000 saying “Women Don’t Shoot”, or what was said in the 1990s “The AR-15 has no sporting purpose”.
There are people on the cutting edge of an issue who will see the bullshit…but more pedestrian people will lag behind for a bit.
Plus I LIKE blogging, and I like reading your comments, and I suspect you ENJOY reading and commenting, so who am I to belittle that?
I’ll end with this quote: “A plagiarist calling gun rights advocates stupid? How great is that? Or, come to think of it, original.” -Robert Farago
Really same old shit in a different video. And just like when we learned all this in 2007 and 2008, it will continue to be ignored. Yes, our President is a Marxist, and a black supremacist….but what’s wrong with that?
This story sounded familiar, so I went into the archives to see if it was a repeat. Old story here. New story here. They are different.
A 72-year-old Chicago woman was struck and killed by a dump truck while crossing a street near her home.
The Chicago Tribune reports the incident occurred Friday evening on the city’s southwest side.
Police say the truck’s driver did not stop after hitting the woman.
More innocent people being struck in crosswalks by heavy industrial trucks! Obviously we don’t need buildings built THAT MUCH to be worth the lives of innocent people! We should just go back to living in log cabins in the woods, or sod houses on the planes! IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE!!!!!
Of course it isn’t a “Gun Death” so the proposed ban is just a joke! Only “Gun Death” counts.
A bunch of Celebs, all well-known “Progressives” talk about the election:
Take-away, they’re stupid and uninformed, and they want other stupid and uninformed people to vote!
What a message!!!
