Quote of the Day

Via Freep.com:

In my own experience of more than 13 years as a homicide prosecutor and head of the homicide unit of the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, I never saw anyone charged with murder who had a license to legally carry a concealed weapon

Mike Cox
Michigan Attorney General, Lansing

Funny how that works.

Thanks to Sebastian for the pointer.

Ok, Once Again, I Do Not Know

... whether I should laugh or cry:

I also have a theory about Sarah Palin as well and I'm going to put it out there on radio, hopefully someone can investigate.

But, I think maybe she did something to Michael Jackson. Maybe there's a scandal there. Maybe she's stepping down because something's about to come out.
Good lord, PDS has the potential to make the Bush version look like a trip to Disneyland.

Thanks to Firehand for the pointer.

This is What Happens When People Carry Guns!

Police on scene of shooting at East Memphis office building

Memphis police are investigating a shooting in East Memphis this afternoon.

The incident happened about 3 p.m. at the Hobson Building at 5384 Poplar.

A jewelry salesman was leaving the building when he was attacked by four men who tried to rob him, said Joel Hobson of Hobson Realtors. The salesman pulled his gun and shot two of the men, Hobson said.

They did not get anything from the salesman, Hobson said.
Four vs. one, but the one had a gun.

Mike Lupica is a Horse's Ass

Mike Lupica, sports writer and gun-fearing wussy, manages to turn the death of Steve McNair into an anti-gun rant. A pretty disjointed one, at that.

He says things like:

Now McNair dies the way he dies and shows you that a gun in the wrong hand is still the greatest equalizer of all.
Mike, what the hell does that even mean? You talk about McNair and his humble beginnings, then whip out this crap? A gun in the wrong hand is still just a gun - the hand (and the person holding attached to it) bears all responsibility in how that gun is used.

Then we read:
Where did the gun come from? Where it always comes from: Somewhere.
Alllllrighty then, Mike. The gun came from somewhere. Got it. Very insightful. You slid this one past the editor, didn't you?

If you were to read the whole thing, you'd swear this was two different stories that somehow got scrambled up. Part biography, part murder report, with some Brady - like talking points thrown in for good measure. There's even a segue into tennis for some reason. Oh, here's why:

They [the Williams sisters] are as famous around the world as McNair was in football and it did nothing to save their sister when bullets started flying one night in Compton.
Compton? Newsflash, Mike. That's not the safest place in the world to hang out. Lotsa gangstas. Take a drive down there sometime and see how long it takes before you're dodging bullets.

Mike takes the tried and true approach of blaming the gun, not the shooter. I think it's a twist on the old saying "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

Mike finally winds up with this:

He is the 36th homicide victim in Nashville this year. That is down from 41 at the same time last year.

Only in a country of gun lovers is that considered progress.

And only in the mind of a disconnected, pontificating sports reporter is it not.

Thanks to SayUncle for the pointer.

Back From AWOL

Missed the music post yesterday, mea culpa. I'll make up for it next Sunday.

Just going to touch on a few things:

My neighborhood on the 4th is close to heaven. Virtually every house on both sides of the street was shooting fireworks. The whole night, it smelled like a day at the range. A really busy range.

Man, I really need to get to the range. It's been way too long.

I still like Sarah Palin. Anyone who can drove 100% of the Democrats and 50% of the Republicans crazy with PDS has my vote.

RIP Steve McNair. Damn sorry way to go, if you ask me. We'll probably never know exactly what happened, but my money's on the "You're leaving me to go back to your wife so I'm killing you and myself." angle. That's why I don't mess around. You might be able to survive Glenn Close and boiling bunnies, but two to the chest and two to the head? Not likely.

It really sucks to be famous these last two weeks, doesn't it?

Michael Jackson is still dead.
