Action Jackson

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson introduces new gun laws to City Council [More]

And here they are.

You understand why this is much ado about nothing -- other than generating headlines to redirect attention away from miserable incompetence and failure -- don't you? And as long as I'm invoking Shakespeare, another bit comes to mind:

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Which kind of makes you wonder why the hell the Republican establishment thinks it's a good idea to reward a city hostile to everything they're supposed to stand for, and is more focused on the return of LeBron, anyway.

Eh, when it comes to conservative principles, I guess there are no "good" major urban areas that can host a convention.

Fun times in Cleveland today.

At least we're not Detroit.
