Or at least obstructed going.
My computer will not connect to the Internet. I'm using my kid's, but that means I no longer have unlimited access whenever I want, as homework cannot be ignored.
So please cut me some slack on correspondence until things normalize--particularly if I don't reply timely. I'm already behind on a few dozen replies and may not get to them at all if things keep piling up.

A Good Gun Lawsuit
Shields, the mayor of Rutledge Borough, plans to sue the city himself if Nutter implements the policy – just as soon as he gets done suing Upper Darby Township for what you might call its "take-and-keep" approach to gun control.This is the first I've heard of this. Good for Mr. Shields. We would do well to watch this case as it develops.
Shields is representing township resident Mary Welsch, who claims in a federal lawsuit before U.S. District Judge Juan R. Sanchez that police illegally took her deceased father's guns from her house, then refused to return them without a court order.
The township has agreed to give the 16 guns back to Welsch, her father's sole beneficiary, but she is pushing ahead with the civil rights suit in an attempt to have the department's gun-seizure policy declared unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, Over in Sarah Brady Paradise...
A gang of up to 25 masked men, carrying guns and dressed all in black, were seen patrolling the streets of a Manchester suburb, police said.
I'm sure there's a point that could be made here, but what...?
It IS Frightening
It is frightening to see such educated men so thoroughly defend the right to bear arms.Doesn't the irony of that statement even occur to you, young student who presumes to teach?
That and resorting to quoting a fictional script from "The West Wing" as an authoritative source?
We're the Only Ones Honoring Enough, Eh?
The Coalition for Gun Control will be honoured on Thursday by Quebec's top police unions and associations at their annual awards gala.
So much for rank and file "Only Ones" supporting armed citizens with all the "anti" sentiment coming from the top brass--at least in Canada. And, of course, New York.
Don't Let the Door Hit You in the...
Black lawmakers from the state's urban areas, frustrated in their efforts to get a vote on gun control measures, walked out of a House session in protest Wednesday.And this is a bad thing how...?

NOW She Tells Us
I feel fragile ... unsure, struggling to figure it all out...I always feel like something of an impostor. I don't know what I'm doing... [More]Gee, thanks, Jodie Foster. I don't suppose you could have shared this little tidbit about yourself back when you were acting like some kind of authority on people carrying guns in real life .
That wasn't very gentlemanly of you.
The Bush Time Line
Thanks in no small part to this, combined with GOP frontrunners who are obvious charlatans, we'll probably be able to look forward to a Hillary Time Line.

This Day in History: December 6
By a Letter of the 4th Inst. from a Mr. Caldwell, a Clergyman and a staunch friend to the Cause, and who has fled from Elizabeth Town and taken refuge in the Mountains about Ten Miles from thence, I am informed, that Genl. or Lord Howe was expected in that Town, to publish pardon and peace. His words are, "I have not seen his proclamation, but only can say, he gives 60 days of Grace and Pardons from the Congress down to the Committee. No one man in the Continent is to be denied his Mercy." In the language of this Good Man, the Lord deliver us from his Mercy.
