• You know, it may seem strange when our dinner-table conversation consisted of a discussion on the differences between Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukoshima, the history of the Manhattan Project, and the difference between an implosion and a gun-type nuclear weapon, but in this house, it’s not.

The President of the United States, the Attorney General, prominent black ‘leaders’, the Black Panther Party, the NAACP, and every dimwit on the street who doesn’t take the time to look at the facts are calling for George Zimmerman’s head, either in the courts or in the streets.

This seemed appropriate, and would have been familiar to Mr. Zimmerman’s black grandparent.

Dear Dr. Hook,

Apparently what it takes is the willful murder of civilians, including women, children, and old people, the ambush attack of a police officer, a shootout with police, running over your own brother to get away from said shootout, and ruining some poor guy’s boat with blood stains.  That is what will get you on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Well, what do you know, 85+% of respondents to a Boston news site think this is inappropriate.  Who could have predicted that?

Sincerely,

DB

This is good “Wake up and pay attention!” music.

I swear I saw a little old man in orange robes burst into flames today.

Too soon?

Going to be another hot one today.

And seriously, I want to see the tape of someone trying to get that guy into the gold foil tee shirt.
