It looks like a lot of Pennsylvanians are rejecting James Carville’s old tome about Pennsylvania being Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Alabama in the middle. Having visited pretty much the entirety of the state, rural Pennsylvania is pretty much like Pennsylvania. Frankly, it’s always looked a lot more like upstate New York than any of the cotton states. If Carville meant that culturally, well, there’s plenty of the supposed ignorance urban dwellers like to attribute to rural people right here in the Philadelphia area. Bitter can attest to that.
Doormat Ideas
For folks who might live in Washington DC, I have a handy and timely doormat suggestion.
UPDATE: Check out this NBC 4 article:
If weapons are recovered, they will be tested and destroyed if they are not found to be linked to any other crimes.
A police spokeswoman said that if evidence of other crimes is found during voluntary searches, amnesty will be granted for that crime as well.
Nevermind the murderers and the rapists! As long as we get that gun off the street everything will be peachy. And they wonder why they can’t keep their crime under control. These DC city politicians really do live in a fantasy world, don’t they?

Limiting Federal Power
A win for federalism at the Supreme Court.
Last Day
Today is the last day of my “early 30s” From tomorrow on, for the next three years, I’ll have to consider myself in my mid 30s. I might be able to push that to 37. Sounds like a nice idea. I’d only get two more years of “late 30s”, but that’s OK isn’t it?

Live Sniper Fire
Hillary claimed she was subject to it in Bosnia. Now she claims she misspoke. Ahab thinks she’s just lying. I think so too. I’m pretty sure if I was ever under live sniper fire, that image would be seared… seared into my memory.
They Meant to Ship Helicopter Parts
They ended up shipping fuses for nuclear warheads. Ooops. It’s one of those things, you have to wonder if it’s a legitimate mistake, or we’re (or were, rather) secretly arming Taiwan with nuclear weapons, and this whole story is a cover.
Load on Sunday …
… keep shooting all week.

And to think …
… there are folks that want to put these people in charge of our health care.
What’s He Trying to Hide?
I’m greatly amused by the subject of this e-mail I got from my state representative: “King to hold Identity Theft and Document Shredding Fair”
