Two Magic Guns
And one was extra magic. Not only did a brand new 9mm pistol fall from a "case" and go off by itself, but it did so without having been loaded. The empty, self-discharging weapon propelled a projectile though the apartment floor and into the fellow who lives one floor down.
The other gun, also brand new, magically disappeared in the few hours after leaving the gun store and before cops came to arrest the 19-year-old son for reckless use a a firearm and shooting in the city limits.
His mother (of the year) said she bought the two guns for about $1000. She draws $300 weekly unemployment pay. The cops said her little boy had "several thousand dollars" in his pocket when he was arrested. My crack instincts suggest another mystery here.

The adulation of Ron Paul
...and while I'm on the subject, let me tip my hat to our grumpy hermit out in the western desert.
"Surely there must be some golden mean, in which a person can be credulous enough to still have faith in the political process, without going completely moonbat in the veneration of an individual."
That's Joel's reaction -- spot on, if you ask me -- to some nincompoop's screed linking Ron Paul to the Second Coming.

The Space-Out Coast
Down in Florida last night the best line of the cage fight was nonchalantly delivered by Ron Paul. "...that debate doesn't interest me very much."
He was addressing the unzipped front-runners, two-handedly swinging their members at one another about whose investments were least horrible.
Paul's contribution was his usual, that is, consistent view that (a) presidential debates ought to be about policy and (b) no policy will work well until Washington learns arithmetic and weans itself from ever-flowing tit of fiat money. That actually got a passing reaction from Mitt and Newt, essentially, "Good point in a way, (pause) but my balls really are brazenbigger than Mitt's (or Newt's.)"
Welcome to the great national dialog as it is understood by most of the GOP and all -- every one -- of the famous heads who agree that the morning-after headline must proclaim that Mitt added three inches.
