The good news is I'm on the mend. The bad news is, overdoing it would be stupid. So expect less for a while.
As such, I'm going to be doing an abbreviated set of posts, to give you some of what others of you want me to talk about (and I won't mind if the emails slow down a bit for a while longer--honest), and stuff I want to point out.
In the interests of making my job as effortless as possible, please forgive me if I don't get to your submission, and also if I don't go through the detail work of adding links to contributor names.
Together, we shall persevere through these dark days...or some such.
As always, please do what you can to evangelize my Examiner columns. I know I sound like a nag, but really--it's not like I have a tip jar or anything, and regulars here want to see me be able to feed feral sons Uday and Qusay their daily crust of bread, I trust...?
We're the Only Ones on a Jihad Enough
I'd say Supervisor Chris Norby has it exactly right, and Sandra Hutchens needs to be confined to the Hut of the Unclean. Go on over and lend some support in "Comments." [Via Maureen]
We're the Only Ones Released Enough
Tell me Oscar Grant would have made bail had he executed Johannes Mehserle. Plus the guy already ran to Nevada once--why isn't he considered a flight risk? [Via Maureen]
Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise
It looks like the entire culture has been infected with mistrust. No wonder they don't trust each other with guns--spouses don't even trust each other with computers.
Fairfax Rumor Control
If it's a legitimate concern, rest assured your NRA-ILA will promptly address it and will give you the straight story.Just like they did with the Holder nomination!
And I guess Olofson and Fincher aren't legitimate concerns.
Less than Understanding
A local school district has suspended a member of the Young Marines youth leadership group after students saw drill props in her vehicle.Read this and seethe. Can you imagine being Tustin Amhole...oh wait, that's Amole...
The schools says they have no discretion. Right. Like anyone would dare haul them away if they did the right thing.

At Least He Didn't Make the "III" Sign
Tough to know if he was stalking. If he was, no sympathy, but the principle involved ought to raise some flags.. [Via Ed M]
Explosive Revelations
The vans included homemade explosive devices connected to remote detonators, firearm silencers and jugs filled with sulfuric acid, a known agent for accelerating the decomposition of a body, authorities said.A fake mustache. Good grief.
Hey--what do you want to bet he got all that stuff at one of those damned American gun shows? [Via Ed M]
Well, Codrea, trust you're up and about shortly...as for Mehserle, were does a 22 yr old bus cop get the vig to post a $3mm bail, even at 10% face value that's $300k?
ReplyDeleteMust have some friends.
My guess on the bus cop's bail - mommy and daddy.
ReplyDeleteDrill team suspension: The school system's website says "Welcome" in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and ... Russian.
ReplyDeleteEveryone welcome except the gun culture. Even if you're training to use guns to protect the freedom to welcome your conquerors, the way the school socialists would like.
Zero tolerance and no discretion. And no therefore no responsibility. That opens WIDE the gates to Hell. This is how it was early on in Germany. Observe, inform, hop e it keeps your superiors from noticing YOU so much.
