Left unsaid is why these three have been singled out prior to the OIG report being submitted, particularly since their sharing findings with the Department of Justice and ATF subjects of their investigation would violate all principles of independence from influence. If that did not happen, a fair conclusion to assume would be that the process of the investigation itself led those answering questions and providing documentation to an inevitable conclusion.

We're the Only Ones Disordered Enough
After adjustments were made for age, sex and other variables, having a sleep disorder raised the odds of heart disease by 45 percent, for example, and the odds of depression by 120 percent. It also raised the odds of being injured on the job by 22 percent and falling asleep while driving by 51 percent. Nationwide, from 2009 to 2010, more than a third of officers who died in the line of duty were killed in motor vehicle crashes, a problem that is widely overlooked.

Ups and Downs
Jobless rate up, but crime down: What gives? [More]What gives is not everybody is an excuse-making animal.

The Lump in Toby's...uh...Stocking
Toby Hoover, executive director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, lamented the incongruity between rampant gun purchases and his sense of the holiday spirit: "I'm bothered by, especially at the holiday time, how many people think that these things ought to be holiday gifts, Christmas gifts for their families and their children. We're seeing more of that, which means it's becoming sort of an accepted thing. Firearms and weapons don't seem to go with holiday and peacefulness to me. I think we have a problem." [More]Yeah, Sarah. Stop upsetting Toby. What kind of creature would get her kid a gun as a gift, anyway?
