I just created a petition at www.whitehouse.gov for the hell of it basically doing the same thing, but nation-wide. Because I felt like it. It needs 25,000 signatures by July 1st. I am passing this around to the veterans groups that I am in contact with as well, please pass it on to whomever you can. http://wh.gov/tvP “

- I’d been told that Machine Paintball’s Mike Spurlock was doing something ‘special’ for me, but wouldn’t tell me precisely what. During what was an otherwise long and very constructive conversation with his brother Andrew, he immediately clammed up and wouldn’t say anything when I asked him about it. I’d send Minions over, but I’m in short supply at the moment. Interrogating Englishmen is rough on my supply of Minions…
