The Value Of Armed Resistance

And the resistance of the media to point it out:

In each of these cases a killer is stopped the moment he faces armed resistance. It is clear that in three of these cases the shooter intended to continue his killing spree. In the fourth case, Andrew Wurst, it is not immediately apparent whether he intended to keep shooting or not since he was apprehended by the restaurant owner leaving the scene.

Three of these cases involved armed resistance by students, faculty or civilians. In one case the armed resistance was from an off-duty police officer in a city where he had no legal authority and where he was carrying his weapon in violation of the mall

Sheryl’s Brilliant Idea

Boy, when Rosie thinks you’ve gone over the line, you’re pretty radical:

“One square! Has she seen my a**?”

And Don Surber has penned a song about it:

All I wanna do, is wipe my bum…

What a gift to the blogosphere.

Now she’s saying that it was a joke.

Yeah.

Right.

A joke.

Just like John Kerry’s.

Well, you know, I did go back and read the original blog post that set off the kerfuffle, and while I’m not familiar with her other writings or her general blogging style, I’m willing to believe that she was in fact being (or at least attempting to be) humorous (the bit that she added from her brother, about washing the single square, admittedly helped). I know that I’ve suffered in the past from people taking seriously posts meant to be satirical (though it does help to identify it in the post category). so I’m willing to cut her some slack.

But it seemed like an unusual source of satire on that subject.

So, what do my commenters think? Do we believe her?

Who Cares What’s Actually Happening?

The Dems have a problem–how to lose a war without being blamed for it. They pulled it off in Vietnam, but I hope that they can’t do it again.

What’s curious is that congressional Democrats don’t seem much interested in what’s actually happening in Iraq. The commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, returns to Washington this week, but last week Pelosi’s office said “scheduling conflicts” prevented him from briefing House members. Two days later, the members-only meeting was scheduled, but the episode brings to mind the fact that Pelosi and other top House Democrats skipped a Pentagon videoconference with Petraeus March 8.
