The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Beyond Stupid

Greyhawk

This defies explanation

The 96-Hour Campaign had rented several vans for Tuesday, to drive voters to and from the polls. They were all parked at the top level of the Kiowa St. parking garage near Bush/Cheney-Pete Coors headquarters. I, along with a few others, had decorated the vans with Bush/Cheney and Coors signs Friday night. They were left in those spots as we went home, since it was after midnight. Apparently one of the vans was not locked properly (we didn't go into the vans to decorate them; we just taped signs onto the outside) and a group of socialist thugs stole it.

They drove it through one of the gates of Ft. Carson, the largest military installation in town, and then set fire to the van.

There are a couple posssible ways this Van could have gotten on base:

1. Whoever was driving it had an ID of some sort granting access.

or

2. They convinced the gate guard that

a) It was George Bush's personal Van. See the sign dude?
b) They were bringing Coors Beer to the NCO club. See the sign dude?

Okay that's a joke - though this story isn't. In a post-911 world it seems unlikely someone was granted access without filling out a temporary vehicle pass. Certainly the story as yet is about 10% told, but it seems that somebody's ass is going in a sling on this one.
