These two young guys from Burns also answered Fry's call. "I don't want to see these guys die," said one.

In between songs, the mighty shofars rang out. The Sharp kids looked horrified at the grown men who produced such a god-awful cacophony: tweet by jj macnab @jjmacnab, 4:03 PM - 23 Jan 2016

If the guys with the shofars call in...

Where the heck is David Fry?

Victoria wants to call in and sing. Nooooooooo.

Gavin thinks that telephone campaign got militants out of solitary confinement. They don't know how prison quarantine works.

Sandy thinks that God sent them to be there because they have steaks and pork to eat.

Sandy and Sean: "We need a miracle." Praying again. Seim: "We ask that you send legions of angels here tonight."

FBI is moving vehicles behind the militants.

The Bundy email list sent out a shrill demand.

During the Ed and Elaine Brown standoff (9 months), this type of manic call took place every single day for an hour. For 9 months....

FBI need to arrest Cliven Bundy.

Troll named Pedro was patched into the call so Gavin disconnected the militants.

The final four are negotiating among themselves and Fiore asks them if they want her to pick them up some food from McDonalds. Sigh.

Fiore: Did you guys eat some dinner. Sean: No, we had some snacks though.

Where is Cliven Bundy?

FBI Tells Fiore that they will not escalate the situation tonight.

Common core discussion. Almost 10,000 listeners drop off.
Sean is ranting about weapon/ammo conspiracy theories that were passed around the internet a year ago.

Sean: "We have to go to the bathroom outside. We're making a lot of sacrifices."

And the final four are back on the line but didn't get Victoria back on the call. Yay!

If Victoria sings, "This land is your land" again, I'm out.

In an effort to patch in Victoria, Gavin cut off the final four at the refuge.

They keep threatening listeners that Victoria Sharp will be singing on the live feed. Please, no.

If the guys with the shofars call in...

Powerful: Oregon Militiamen Upload Video of Themselves Blowing "Battle Trumpets" (?)

You may know the shofar as a musical instrument of Jewish antiquity, traditionally blown in synagogues during Rosh Hashanah—but did you know that right now, in the frozen hinterland of the Pacific Northwest, the Oregon militiamen are blowing the HORNS OF FREEDOM as we speak? The following video was shared by militia honcho Blaine Cooper with this caption: SHARE UPDATE BURNS OREGON! CHRISTIANS THE BATTLE TRUMPET HAS BEEN SOUNDED TIME TO RISE!

to the little owl on the murican roadside
outside the trashed sanctuary

  1. They should have been moved on a long, long time ago. Somebody should draw up the stats for the black lives gone while this has all been running. The whole foundation rests on patriot trash.

    We need the word to "helen hastily".

  2. Thank you very much, Duncan, for the useful bit of good sense from Afar (where, it seems, all the good sense remaining in this world is currently stored).

    And but your word wol helen hastily

    My hertes wounde, while that hit is grene,

    A little owl might then replace our King, so happily,

    Nor would we e'er require a Queene.
