The Bundy Bash

This weekend marks the one year anniversary of the confrontation between law enforcement officials and assorted armed rageaholics on the right who descended on the Bundy ranch in Nevada.  Prompted by sagebrush deadbeat Cliven "Hoof" Bundy's long-standing refusal to pay grazing fees on Federal land,  Feds who attempted to arrest the deranged moocher faced a standoff with hundreds of delusional gun-toting wingnut losers who thought they were starting the second American revolution.  Now, the loons are returning for an anniversary bash with Bundy.

Last year, the Federal Government reasoned that a violent confrontation with the heavily-armed wingers would cost lives and further stoke the fires on the far right.  After all, the Feds and state troopers were dealing with people that live in a paranoid, alternate reality who may have seen the standoff as an unfolding movie in their minds that they were starring in.  It was best for law enforcement to back off and ignore them last year, as it will be this year, when the crackpots have their celebratory meals of hot dogs, beans and lots and lots of beer, before slipping back into the night.
