• Starbucks: Bring on the guns – Brushes Aside Gun Control
  Starbucks has brushed aside a request from a gun control advocacy group to ban the display of guns in its retail locations, saying it will abide by laws that allow patrons to openly carry unloaded weapons.

  The national Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence made the request in the wake of a series of meetings in local restaurants over the past few months by Bay Area Open Carry, a group that hopes to make it legal to carry loaded guns in California. Peets Coffee & Tea and California Pizza Kitchen responded to similar requests by banning displays of weapons in the companies' coffeehouses and restaurants.

• Birther Speaker Joseph Farrah Takes Heat at Tea Party Convention from Andrew Breitbart
  During WorldNetDaily Editor-in-Chief Joseph Farah’s Friday night dinner speech, which spent around 10 of its forty minutes on questions about Barack Obama’s citizenship, Andrew Brietbart was among the conservatives in back of the room grumbling audibly about what he was hearing.

  After he introduced the evening’s closing entertainment — a film titled “Generation Zero” — Breitbart walked outside to the convention hall. There, I heard Breitbart criticizing Farah, and briefly talked to him about it before I noticed that WorldNetDaily’s Chelsea Schilling was already talking to him, holding up a voice recorder. I backed up to allow her to continue her interview, which consisted of questions on why Breitbart didn’t think Obama’s citizenship was a legitimate issue.

  “It’s self-indulgent, it’s narcissistic, it’s a losing issue,” Breitbart told Schilling….

  Indeed it is a losing issue.

• Jon Gosselin Will Let Kids Film Again… Only If TLC Drops Lawsuit
  Jon Gosselin is hoping to use his children to bargain with TLC. He has agreed to let TLC film his children again — only if the network drops its lawsuit against him, RadarOnline.com reports. Last year, TLC had a breach of contract claim against him and won a preliminary injunction, prohibiting him from engaging in media appearances. But even if TLC lifts the ban, don't expect him to make a 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' comeback. "You can be sure that if the kids come back to TLC it will be only with Kate, not with Jon. And there's no guarantee that will happen either," a source said.

  A judge ruled in December that Gosselin has been restricted from making money off his reality TV fame and is no longer receiving a TLC paycheck. His trial is scheduled to being in the Spring.

  Who cares?

• CA-Sen: Carly Fiorina's 'demon sheep' creator speaks
  Fred Davis — the man who introduced vermin, Paris Hilton, bad hair and now demonic mutton into our political discourse — is a bit taken aback by the reaction to his latest creation.

  “More sheep in my day than I was expecting,” he said after sorting through messages from reporters across the country, all of them wanting to talk about the online video — an instant cult classic — he created for Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina. “You certainly never know what’s going to catch on.”
  “When you’re in a state where it costs $5 million to run a 30-second ad statewide… you have to think differently. You have to think outside the box,” Davis said. “It’s tough to get the attention of people in California. This has caught the attention of people across the country.”

  For the record, the role of the stealth sheep was placed by a nameless crew member. “Not a professional sheep impersonator,” Davis said, “or anything like that.”

• CA-Sen: Carly Fiorina's 'Demon Sheep' Talks to ABC About Carbon Taxes and Legalized Drugs
  Campbell, a law professor and former congressman who earned his Ph.D. under Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, has a strong Libertarian streak: he backs abortion rights and same-sex marriage.

  In a recent telephone interview with ABC News, he called for instituting an "essentially revenue neutral" carbon tax which would be offset by cutting payroll taxes. Sharing the viewpoint of many other economists, Campbell believes a carbon tax would be a less intrusive way to combat global warming than the cap-and-trade legislation that Boxer has championed in the Senate.

  "I thought that the danger to the United States economy from what she proposed was extreme," said Campbell, referring to Boxer.

  While most Republicans and even some Democrats are weary of cap-and-trade legislation, Campbell is taking the unusual step during a campaign of offering an alternative which includes a new "essentially revenue neutral" tax.

• CA-Sen: Tom Campbell: The Demon Sheep gave us our "greatest day of contributions"
  Greetings from Demon Sheep Central, where US Senate candidate Tom Campbell says that the Demon Sheep gave him his best online fundraising day ever.

  OK, so not that Campbell has ever been a fundraising dynamo. Plus, as Team Fiorina spokesperson Julie Soderlund points out to Demon Sheep Central: "His best day of fundraising could be $5 since he just got into the race 3 weeks ago!"
  And, the Fiorina campaign reply:
  Soderlund told Morrison that Team C-Fi is happy with the ad, which has gotten half a million views of the ad on YouTube. People are talking, that's for sure.

  "Our goal was to make news," Soderlund said, maybe do something a litlte "little weird." They thought it was a little humorous, "Mr. Campbell obviously disagrees with that."
  +++++++
  I doubt it makes a difference one way or another.
