But will you enjoy your crow later?

Instapundit thinks the Maryland/Virginia shootings are terrorism being covered up. So when you eat the crow later, how would you and Mr. Quick like to have it served?

What is it about people refusing to believe that an American is capable of such an act? This has Soldier of Fortune fruitcake written all over it. But a good white American boy couldn’t do something like this, could they? So we are going to pretend it is Arab Terrorism and dismiss the possibility that our culture could produce something like this. For a group of bloggers, who are represented by these two, who insist anti-war advocates are putting their head in the sand, I’d say they need to get their heads out of their asses.

Stop me before I give him more kudos

Kit Bond did a bang up job on keeping election reform alive and eventually passing it. His requirement that first time voters show ID is reasonable and the bill starts to address the problems this country has with the infrastructure of voting.

The better analogy

Difrancesco’s withdrawal has been the primary example of why Torricelli’s withdrawal and replacement should be allowed. Josh Marshall provides a clearer example with Mitt Romney’s resdency issue.

More importantly, he points out the sky is falling arguments is absurd. The type of situation is pretty limited and thus, not likely to be repeated again and again.

I’ll put my dollars down that they are just good ‘ole American fruitcakes

Instapundit has his panties in a wad because he thinks some random shootings are by al Qaeda. My favorite comment is by his buddy:

I guess there’s one more thing that makes it worth speculating about a terrorist angle – the Post report you cite omits any, even fragmentary description of the killers. The Post has a tendency to do that when they’re afraid such descriptions will inspire what they think of as retrograde reactions.

Newspapers do that when they don’t know much either. Not reporting erroneous information is generally better. The relationship to whether this is terrorism and the race of the perps seems rather strange anyway given our history with Tim McVeigh.

If only it had a better name

&c, or the artist formerly known as Noam Schreiber, points out the situtation in New Jersey is highly unlikely to cause a flood of replacement candidates. Amen.

Some other points being made around the net include the Mitt Romney and Katherine Harris situations as well as Bigtime’s Texas residence.

For both sides the statements of gloom and doom over the replacement is very overplaced. Voters just don’t care that much. The people who do already had their minds made up.

The bottom line is the State of New Jersey has a reasonably competitive election.

And, ummmm…to be disenfranchised you have to not be allowed to vote—nothing indicates military voters won’t be allowed to vote.

This guy kills. After you stop laughing with him, check the shitstorm he started on the Civil War. Trolling as art…and truth.

The Problem with Gary

Gary Hart tells the Dems to Get a Defense Policy.

Gary, you have never belonged to an organized political party, as all good Dems know:
“I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a Democrat! ” –Will Rogers

Hart makes good points, but largely overlooks the fine work the DLC has been doing.
