Fear

"Unity," the alpha word varously woven into the rhetorical excesses of the recent extravaganza on our Capitol steps ought to frighten us.

Has anyone ever seen  "unity" more perfectly expressed than in the grainy old films shot at Nuremberg in the 1930s?

Headline fun

Reuters latest on-line head for the Ascension story:

"A sea of People for Obama Inauguration"

A writing man unawed by High Office and the trappings of Coronation might play with that a little and write: 

"People Asea at  Obama Inauguration."

Certainly happy I know no such disrespectful louts.


CCW Showdown on the High Plains

Two years ago Nebraska enacted a CCW law, permitting their issue to the trained and vetted and including a state preemption. The Nebraska AG has just ruled the preemption nullifies carrying bans in 12 cities. (Duh?).

Some of the cities say they'll keep their CCW bans anyway and remain risk-free zones for the Thugaric tribes.

Stand by for the High Noon faceoff,  our lawyers against theirs.

 

 

Watershed Day

Tuesday, January 20, 2008.

It will go down in history.

The day America sold one-third of Chrysler to the Italians.
