What I Saw At The Coup

[Travis McGee]

That’s what I’m talking about.

I passed on the link to the original story to some friends with this note:

"It is said we plan for all contingencies. Therefore I can easily imagine, in a back room somewhere, there is a group of very intellectual and motivated people coldly making plans for something like this. History shows it would not be the first time it’s been done...

Just remember Rule 308…

Are you still paranoid if they really are out to get you?"

[GeronL]

I guess it takes something so over the top to get attention

[ebshumidors]

Matt hits another home run with this. Laz, we should write this well!

[xone]

I have to get your books, that was fantastic!

[dcwusmc]

Beautiful work, Matt. Thanks for putting it up!!!

If the media lies, the media dies.

And nothing will change until that happens.

Awe-inspiring, harrowing tale, Matt. Harrowing because of how true to life it may soon be.

[Tainan]

Heh heh heh...that's gonna leave a mark.

[txhurl]

Good stuff. What happened to Laz in the end?

[optiguy]

Bump for later.

[bcsco]

Thanks. Clipped to Evernote. I’ll read it tomorrow.

Poor Cathy Carlsen.

She was always pimping for the assault rifle ban in her reports.

[Charles Martel]

In Finland during the Winter War they used to publish the sniper kills in the newspapers like sports scores. Just sayin’.

Dang, Bill... I'd nearly forgotten that tidbit (which I think I'd heard before from archy). Do you know of any sources where scanned images of those "scores" can be found? Might be an interesting graphic to toss out there on certain threads, with no further elaboration needed.

"Good stuff. What happened to Laz in the end?"

He was sentenced to life without parole on a desert island with Helen Thomas, Rosie O'Donnel and Rachel Maddow.

[marktwain]

You have done very well. Thank you.

[ctdonath2]

Well...he hit it.

[Charles Martel]

His "vision of the future" purely enraged me, and resulted in my two companion pieces of the past two weeks.

Rage is definitely your muse. Excellent work.

[Just another Joe]

I have to get your books, that was fantastic!

Get them. I have all three and each one is a riveting read in and of itself.
When you put all three together and read them in order - Well, let's just say that I have a cave that is well stocked.

[DTogo]

There are many Orcs and Uruk-hai positively fuming in Mordor right now at this open blasphemy. Well done!
