They call him the Petaluma Batman, because is true identity is unknown, even carefully protected by the people of Petaluma, California. Even when ABC news covered his story they wrote "We do know his true identity, but we've agreed to keep it confidential for his and his family's safety."

Petaluma Batman is a true caped crusader, as you can see in his photo, and he patrols the streets of his hometown. His motto, "a hero can be anyone." I can certainly get behind that.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has launched an internal probe of the events leading up to the suicide of internet activist Aaron Swartz, who was facing federal charges for allegedly hacking into the school's journal archives.

Let's Just All Go Our Separate Ways

I think we can all agree that this whole 'United States' thing has been sort of a mess. From Vietnam to Afghanistan, we've really been shitting the sheets recently and maybe we should all just pack it in.

We'd like to ask President Obama to dissolve the United States government as well as the Executive branch. Then we should all just part ways and try to forget that any of this nonsense happened.

A Minnesota man was arrested while recording police as they called paramedics to assist a stranger covered in blood... because the officer said it was a violation of HIPAA regulations. Cops also stole his camera... but the audio was recorded remotely via cellpone! It isn't a violation. So they charged him with "disorderly conduct" and "obstruction of legal process," whatever that is. He vows to not take a plea and will take the case to trial! Never take a plea!!!

Enough is enough. It's not too soon. It's too late. Ban guns from government now.

M4L goes to conservative, libertarian and right-of-center groups, giving presentations on Islam and American liberty.

Amazing book being turned into an Amazing movie. A prophetic novel which chronicles a transition from a statist to voluntary society. Alongside Night is the story of the final economic collapse of the United States as seen through the eyes of 18-year-old Elliot Vreeland, searching for his missing Nobel-laureate-economist father, and the mysterious 18-year-old "Lorimer" whom Elliot meets in a black-market underground, whose own father might be the reason Elliot's father is missing.

Paul Sacco says searching for his missing daughter feels like something akin to bleeding out. All the hope, heartache and anxiety that go into it leave him feeling diminished. But the Colorado lawyer and amateur guitarist has managed to bottle up some of that energy, spending hundreds of hours creating what is both a tribute to Aubrey Sacco and a monument to his sorrow: a 14-song album he has published to Internet vendors.

The FCC accuses Rubash of broadcasting on the 88.3 FM radio frequency, KMAN reported. The agency said Rubash was rebroadcasting programming from the Republic Broadcasting Network talk radio station.
