Quick! While all the militia's are up in Nevada, let's take Texas!

Seriously though, while I think Bundy and his followers are idiots, this really makes me wonder what is going on with the Bureau of Land Management. Everything being what it is though, with the looming Governor's Race this fall, I wouldn't be surprised if this was propaganda and misinformation to create fear of the federal government in order to strengthen his position.

I have no idea what the situation is here.

But it's all over the blogosphere – the right-wing blogosphere, that is. I would have serious doubts about the accuracy of this story. There is no article or mention anywhere that could be considered a neutral unbiased source.

Here are some interesting comments though from people who apparently live in the region.
