Opposite Day 'Progressive' Professional Conduct

Oh, him.

The great egalitarian. Funny how the vaunted principles always seem to take a back seat to personal privilege.

If I'd gone on a foul-mouthed tirade in front of employees on any job I've ever held, I'd have been justifiably canned. I never put up with abusive language, either.

As I told feral sons Uday and Qusay when they embarked on their careers, no job is worth your dignity.  Speak your mind when appropriate. Don't brown-nose. Tolerate no bullying.

The worst they can do to you is fire you. On a scale of 1 to 10 compared to a real life challenge, that barely registers.

We're the Only Ones Caretaking Enough

When he was shot, Kinsey was attempting to calm Arnaldo Soto, a man with autism who was playing with a toy truck that police believed could be a firearm. [More]

I can't tell you how many times feral sons Uday and Qusay almost took a bullet from me for that very reason.

Crocodile Tears

I'm reminded of an old Disney Sing-Along video we used to play for feral sons Uday and Qusay when they were little.

Good grief, I still remember the lyrics...

A New Hope

Millennials are often thought of as more liberal than their older peers, but recent polling shows that they're less likely than those over 30 to support stricter gun laws. [More]

They are the ones who are gonna have to live with it.

I know I did right by feral sons Uday and Qusay.

We're the Only Ones Fragmented Enough

Clay deputy's son, 2, accidentally fires father's gun inside Wendy's; bullet fragments strike boy, 3 others [More]

I can't tell you how many times that used to happen to me back when feral sons Uday and Qusay were little.

We're the Only Ones For the Children Enough

An off-duty MTA police officer accidentally discharged his weapon at his Long Island home Tuesday, shooting his 3-year-old son in the chest ... It wasn't clear if multiple shots were fired, or if the bullet ricocheted. [More]

Yeah, I remember when I used to "accidentally" shoot feral sons Uday and Qusay, back when they were that age...

I even remember what I used to say to them when trying to recall many rounds "went off."

We're the Only Ones Stunning Enough

An Ohio officer whose use of a stun gun on a child resulted in the shutdown of a village police force said he shocked the boy twice as the 9-year-old lay on the floor with his hands underneath his body. [More]

Yeah, I have no idea how I could have ever dealt with feral sons Uday and Qusay when they were nine without resorting to my trusty stun gun. What adult could--what's that phrase the Chief used?-- "maintain the integrity of the incident" without resorting to electroshock compliance measures?

Respecting the Establishment of Religion

Michigan School District Allows Sikh Students to Wear Religious Dagger to School [More]

Good for them.

But feral sons Uday and Qusay are kind'a partial to kukris over kirpans.

All the Fine Young Cannibals

Once more unto the breach, dear friends:
Berserker prepares to take no prisoners
as squire/balladeer sings saga of heroic victory.

Just came across this photo of feral sons Qusay and Uday, circa 17 years ago or thereabouts... Don't ask me what the hell they're doing -- them being boys was always enough for me.
