At Wachovia, We Make Banking By Phone Easy

[Use BugMeNot to bypass site registration.]
In northern Virginia the police say they're looking for a woman who's been holding up banks while chatting on her phone... Investigators say they're not sure if she's actually talking to someone on the phone or just pretending. They also won't speculate on why she's chosen only Wachovia branches.

Yeah, boy, that's a stumper, isn't it?

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions...

Should victims of gun violence be able to sue gun-based organizations in Wisconsin?

Get Gummi Bears and an Icee or Die Tryin'

The new 50 Cent movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has been pulled from a theater where a man was fatally shot... Shelton Flowers, 30, had just watched the rapper's movie Wednesday when he got into a confrontation with three men in the bathroom. A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.

Sorry, I don't mean to be culturally insensitive, but it's a dangerous world out there. I don't frequent--and certainly don't take my family--to cineplexes showing movies that are designed to draw a concentration of people attracted to the gangsta culture.

Dimwits Who Keep Loaded Weapons With Kids in the House

Jacquielynn Floyd acts like the story of Susan Gaylord Buxton is the first time she's heard of someone defending themself with a gun. Seeing as how such tales don't advance the Lapdog Media agenda, it's not surprising that she doesn't see much front page coverage, but every once in a while, accounts of self defense with a gun manage to slip through the editorial filters.

Jeez, lady--is it really that hard to do a little research? Especially when you're getting paid to ostensibly know what you're writing about?

I apparently qualify as a dimwit in Ms. Floyd's uncredentialed estimation. I just don't think people like Ms. Buxton, who have no children in the house, are the only ones who should be able to defend themselves at home. Neither does my wife, especially when I'm not there. We have children to protect, and the training, means and will to do so. And that training extends to our boys.
