Heaven's Gate Redux
I caught parts of George Stephanopolous' interview with Rudy Giuliani the other night and kept noticing something that creeped me out. Talk about separated at birth...
Watch the video yourself and see how many Applewhite Moments you can spot.
In another bit of eerie similarity, it looks like the asteroid leaving us might just be preceding Rudy's departure, and that would just be Heavenly.
We're the Only Ones Without Citizen Back-Up Enough
A vagrant wanted for questioning in a rape overpowered a police officer who was trying to handcuff him, then shot her to death with her own weapon Monday, police said.
Remember New Orleans.
It sounds callous and unsympathetic, and I don't mean to be. But if we refuse to examine conditions emanating from government that make events like this inevitable, and I'm talking a whole range of issues here, nothing will ever improve.

We're the Only Ones Licensed to Kill Enough
"Do you think our police should adopt a shoot-to-kill policy when fighting crime?"
Sure, why not? After all, they are "The Only Ones."
Maybe it'll prompt an appropriate response from the minority who voted "No," but all things considered, I doubt it.
A Devastated Family
The way this is written make the guns the guilty party and does its level best to make the criminals in the Cooper family out to be victims.
An interesting glimpse into "Authorized Journalist" manipulation...
Spitzer's Political Perpetual Motion Machine
Nearly every one of the 225 violent felons authorized for release during Gov. Spitzer's first 11 months in office had been convicted of murder, records made public by the state Parole Board yesterday showed. [More]That way, they can kill again using "illegal guns," and Eliot can exploit that to the benefit of his career. If you flow-charted the process, it would be represented by a loop. But Eliot's got enough extraneous Rube Goldberg diversions built into the design so that it's not readily apparent.
As long as he has an endless supply of criminals to feed into the hopper on one end, he'll be able to continue the illusion for those who don't know any better.
Listing to the Left
Canada's billion-dollar national gun registry doesn't keep up-to-date stats on the number of legal handguns in the country, the Sun has learned.
Meanwhile, Canadian urban violent crime escalates, as do calls to ban guns owned by citizens obedient enough to be registered. That a gun from the registry was apparently used in one of the anecdotes related here has served to fuel that--despite the obvious, that it was used illegally.
It's just so totally freaking insane. That anyone can't see it, that we're even having an argument points to a monumental convergence of evil--that would be you, Messrs. Layton, McGuinty and Miller-- ignorance--that would be you, Canadian citizen gun control advocates--and abdication--that would be everybody not engaged in opposing them.
The registry doesn't work as a crime fighting tool because it was never supposed to: the controllers know it's just a matter of probability before a listed gun is used in a criminal act, which they can then leverage into a blood dance opportunity. The hidden end is, the biggest proponents of maintaining and expanding the registry are the ones who ultimately want it to disappear completely--just as soon as there are no private--I mean, "legally owned" guns to register.

This Day in History: January 29
January 29, 1778. "The commanding officer of each brigade is to appoint a Capt'n daily to visit the sick of his brigade in or near camp to examine whether they have proper attention paid to them and are furnished with everything their situation requires as far as circumstances will allow."
