There used to be Johnson ham radios, but I don't know if any of these guys are that old.

Weird thing to me: They asked for sour cream but not potatoes. Well...the whole thing is kinda weird to me, apparently the rest of the world is supposed to finance their little campout.

I tell you. This is going to turn into a Donner party situation in no time. Let them eat their own.

My advice, withhold the deodorant and they'll give up in no time. Either that or send hair gel.

If they planned, they should have brought everything they needed, not depend on the federal government to supply them. Cut off power to the building they are in and don't let anybody in and out. Also, jam their cellphone reception.

this at Wal-Mart? Are they running out of unemployment/disability - i.e. gov't money? This is so desperate sounding especially tampons and pads - that I can't imagine they can last much longer. Puleeze. Are we waiting them out and, if so, why do we allow them to come and go at will? I'm very baffled.

were for doorways--wouldn't want anybody to think some re-decoratin' was going' on out thar.

How odd that "fresh veggies" seem to be a low priority item: I don't see vitamins or supplements on their wish list. If this is going on "for years" with that diet their teeth will probably fall out or something.

Still an impressive wish list for a bunch of rugged individualists looking to sponge off other people

leaving no room for necessities. Tells me they were hoping for a violent confrontation.

Since they can come and go at will, why not just head to town and pick up some grub? Are the clowns in charge afraid that their designated shopper will abscond with the money (again)?

They ARE racking up a fairly substantial collection of felonies; pretty soon they'll be at the point where the cops can just stick a pin in Title 18 to choose a charge. That, and they've managed to piss off everyone in Burns - and as heavily infested with teabaggers as the Town of Lipton is, that's no mean feat. If I was Ammon Bundy, I wouldn't send my seditionists downtown any time soon.
