How to Spy in Iraq
Michael Totten has a very interesting piece up. And I doubt the MSM will have anything like it.
Ever.
Fred’s Shot Across Rudy’s Bow
Fred points out, correctly, something very wrong with New York: Bad, unconstitutional gun laws, and trying to export them.
Rudy’s folks take it a bit personally and respond that, well, at least the trains run on time.
“Those who live in New York in the real world – not on TV – know that Rudy Giuliani’s record of making the city safe for families speaks for itself. No amount of political theater will change that.” — Katie Levinson, Giuliani Communications Director
Does Rudy’s camp really think this will wash with the gun rights community?
Why move the goal posts
when you can install imaginary ones?
Anybody who thinks traffic laws are about safety and not money is living here.
The Last Sane Man In McMinnville?
Mark Steyn has a followup on the Oregon jackboots.
The guys who need the “boundaries education” program are the District Attorney, Bradley Berry, who originally was intent on getting the Seventh Graders registered for life as sex offenders; the McMinnville Police Officer Marshall Roache, who read the boys their Miranda rights in the principal’s office and led them away to spend five days in juvenile jail; and the Vice-Principal Steve Tillery, who started this whole thing. The only people guilty of “abuse” are the justice, law enforcement and education officials who determined to destroy these kids’ lives and who forced two very ordinary families to spend over $20,000 resisting the “harrassment” of the state.
He’s right. But Steyn misses the real problem.
Update:
Steyn says that if the law is “a ass”, society is a bigger one.
