From a New York Times article on Wednesday. Wednesday, June 3, 1892. (Not a joke.)

A HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR; PROMISED RATE OF TRAVEL FROM ST. LOUIS TO CHICAGO. DR. WELLINGTON ADAMS TELLS ELECTRIC CLUB MEMBERS OF A WONDERFUL ELECTRIC RAILROAD — THE SECRET OF HIS MOTORS RETAINED.

The Empire State Express, which flies from New-York to Buffalo, is soon to be entirely eclipsed by an electric express traveling at thunderbolt speed over a road as straight as an arrow’s course, if the story be not a dream which Dr. Wellington Adams unfolded last night to the members of the Electric Club…

The Windy City would like to “serve as a laboratory” with the “flexibility” to ignore the Second Amendment. But there’s nothing “novel” about that. It’s just another case of the government violating our rights. And since the Supreme Court would never let Chicago ban free speech, establish an official religion, or conduct other “experiments” on the First Amendment, why should the Second Amendment receive any less respect?

It’s time for the Supreme Court to give the entire Bill of Rights its due.

In Obama's America, everybody gets trophies (or medals or whatever).

From a friend with inside knowledge:

Obama told them everybody would get a medal.

From Michelle Obama’s cringe-inducing address to the International Olympic Committee:

And I’ve brought somebody with me today who knows a little something about change. My husband, the President of the United States — Barack Obama. (Applause.)

Jesus, I thought they had finally jettisoned the smug “Change” sloganeering.

UPDATE: From J in STL,

Maybe somebody should have pointed out to her that the Olympics is all about continuity. Like over two thousand years of continuity. Change wasn’t what they were looking for.
