Sovrun Cattle - The Sagebrush Saga of Cliven Bundy

[notorial dissent]

Well of course it's Obama's fault, couldn't possibly be that OAS was/is a colossal joke and all the hooplah was just Kernel Harry blowing through his hat.

.....Today the same website admits and laments the lousy turnout and suggests that Obama deliberately caused it to rain in order to discourage people from showing up....

That might have been tongue-in-cheek, but it reminds me of a rant by a supporter of Ed and Elaine Brown back in 2007:

We [the U.S. government] can completely create, destroy, or steer hurricanes. We can move fronts, weather systems, just about anything we want to do with the weather. I've seen them doing it all this year, and last year.

This is the HAARP craziness. The govt set up a satellite & radar weather research system called HAARP. The SovCits and other conspiracy theorists maintain that this is a vast operation to militarize, even weaponize, the weather; that HAARP already enables the govt to completely manipulate the weather. If this were true then Romney would have spent the summer of 2012 campaigning in blizzards!

And Putin would be found drowned in his office after a freak rain.

I recently saw a bulletin that says HAARP may be shut down due to budget cuts.

But that was before the HAARP's Accord.

I'm trying to come up with something to top that, but I don't think it's gonna happen....

Y'all are lucky nothing rhymes with "wserra."

That's gotta be the Quatloosian equivalent of a red cape in front of a bull.

Actually it turns out that HAARP (High Atmospheric Auroral Research Project) ....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haarp
.... is research into, primarily, ionospheric phenomena relating to shortwave type radio and into weather forecasting, but (we are told) not to manipulate the weather.

And if it could manipulate the weather, then why haven't we used it when and where we desperately needed it. And it if could, it would be one of the very very few federal projects that worked without a breakdown.

HEY! CUT IT OUT!

STOP expecting logic from the conspiratoids!

What a load of bull (both obverse and reverse)

A portion of all proceeds from the sale of these coins will go to Cliven and his family to support their fight for liberty, freedom, and defend their constitutional rights!!!

Right. I wonder what the ratio is of coin-seller profit margin to Cliven Bundy donation, particularly since said donation is not tax-deductible.

Not that Bundy is worried about taxes...

[fortinbras]

This conman is selling his one ounce silver drachma (there is a legal problem about calling it a coin) for more than $49, but right now one ounce of bullion silver is worth only $19.40 and a US Mint Silver Eagle (and a Canadian mint Silver Maple Leaf), also one ounce pure silver, are selling for a mere $22.

In other words the conmen behind this drachma are making more than 100% pure profit! And if you buy it you will probably not live long enough to get $49 for this drachma. Yeah, they can afford to throw "a portion" to Bundy.

Stars on the reverse symbolize the American Flag’s stars.

Must be the Star Spangled Banner flag since there's only fifteen stars on the coin. That would be kind of funny since not one of those 15 stars represents Nevada. We'd have to skip ahead like fifty years to get a flag with Nevada represented.

Photos of coin obverse and reverse are solely artist renderings to give a general idea of what coin will look like. Real coin is silver and has no color. Real coin pictures will be published shortly!

Then, ya know, maybe you should just wait until you actually mint one.

Also, it should not say "Don't tread on me." The statement is overused to the point where it means nothing. I humbly suggest "Squatting on government land."

Yes, but it looks like the coin is backwards, because they've got the front of the bull on the reverse side and the backside of the bull (or the BS) on the obverse side.

How about:
