The power has already been cut at the far chillier Malheur Wildlife Refuge. I guess we'll see if history rhymes. |
Heard a news report on the local CBS radio affiliate some of the militia members are starting to gripe about the whole mess because they have lives to get back to, jobs, etc., and they don't seem to share the sentiments of an occupation 'till the end' of the Bundy's and they, unlike the Bundy's, don't have monetary support coming in from supporters elsewhere. Also, the locals, many, if not most, of whom either work for the various government agencies or have businesses dependent on government interaction are making rumblings about not cooperating with the occupiers by refusing to sell them food or other items they may need or want. It looks as if the wheels are starting to come off...
