As if jobs aren’t scarce enough in Trashville already.
Methinks someone has a hardon for that there company. Raided in 09 and today. Has that company made contributions or statements that weren’t “right thinking”?
Well, they do enable musicians — that’s probably a felony right there.

Hmmm…does this mean I will get to go to the mattresses over the REAL ivory billiard ball set I inherited? Inquiring CETMEs want to know…
Oh, well. That ads another 10-20% to the collectible value of my Les Paul. Too bad.

And, as it turns out to be all too common with the current regime, the charges are complete and utter bollocks, balderdash, and bullshite.

Unquestionably. I wonder if Billy Beck is ranting about this yet?
Not yet. But when he does uncork, it should be a lollapalooza.

Back when I was knifemaking, one of the things people did to keep the Fish & Wildlife people off their backs was use mammoth ivory instead of elephant ivory. Until it came out that, unless you could document WITHOUT QUESTION that your ivory came from a 10k-year-dead mammoth they’d say you were using ‘ivory’ and hang you.
And from what I heard some of the bastard were very picky about what they’d accept as proof.
Only, in this case, it’s not even because of ‘endangered wood’, it’s because the Holder DoJ is playing games.
