Turkey Day Turkey
(Via Volokh) Got the Puritan blues - The Boston Globe shows, once again, that stupid people live in Massachusetts. D-U-M-B, stupid. As in stupid asshat.

Tacoma Mall Shooting
What I don't get is that no one--not even the 11-year Army veteran--was carrying concealed at the mall?!!
Washington is a shall issue state. I'm ALWAYS carrying at that mall. (And anywhere else that it's legal to do so.)
As usual the P-I's (Probably Incorrect) reporting is a bit off too. The food court is not in front of J.C. Penny's. It's at least 100 yards from J.C. Penny's to the hallway intersection that leads to the Food Court, which is another 100 yards further down that corridor.
If you live in a state that recognizes your Second Amendment right, by all means, avail yourself of the opportunity. Not just for the safety of yourself and your loved ones, but it's the duty of responsible citizens to contribute to the safety of their communities as well.
Not to go off half-cocked, but make sure that you are trained to use your side arm and don't go looking for a fight. Hopefully, you'll never have to draw a weapon in such a situation. But if it is warranted, be prepared.

Singapore Sling
OSM News covers an AP story about an Aussie (named Nguyen) that is facing death for a drug trafficking conviction.
Two points...
First, when are dumbass drug smugglers going to get the hint that trafficking in drugs in SE Asia is a very, very bad idea?!! How dense--or mebbe high?--do ya have to be to strap some heroin to yer keister and hop on a flight to Kuala Lumpur/Singapore/Bangkok? Spell it with me kiddies,
A-M-S-T-E-R-D-A-M. Get it?
Second, Sinapan Samydorai, a spokesman from local civic rights group Think Centre contributes the following.
Grabbing a bag that looks just like yours, but that is stuffed with drugs--THAT is an honest mistake. Mr. Nguyen made a choice. Even, if as reported, it was to help his brother--it was an extremely poor choice.

The government here seems to be unnecessarily cruel without any mercy given to those who have made an honest mistake. Why not give the person a second chance?Strapping 384 GRAMS of heroin to your butt and your luggage is NOT a honest mistake.

Murtha Fogger
The Astute Blogger has the call for the apparent game of political dodgeball that Murtha and Pelosi are playing.
He refers to it as "MurthaGate", I prefer "Murtha Fogger".

STOP THE MADNESS
(Via Power Line)
Here's is a petition to sign that calls for the Congress to shut up and put up.
Excerpt: "We the undersigned believe it is time to unite this country. These baseless political attacks must stop. We are at war! 160,000 US Armed Forces are in Iraq fighting and winning. They deserve better. We call on Democratic leaders to stop the attacks on the President and our troops. And we call on Republicans in Congress to do a better job of stopping these attacks and stand with the President and our troops as well!
We will deliver this petition the day of the Presidents next State of the Union address in 2006."
