Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shot in AZ

Regarding a minor tone I detected. Mentally ill people are not by definition, stupid. Fairly often they are exceptionally bright and quite able to manipulate the system they live in up to a point.

For some the illness strikes their ability to be social, for some it affects their ability to learn, others yet are affected in their whole lives and some can be artistic and creative yet be unable to decerne the difference between good ideas and bad.

So remember that being nuts does not necessarily prevent someone from creating and effecting a solid plan of attack.

So the Judge says to Mickey, "Sir, I can not find any reason to believe that Minnie is crazy, thus I can not grant your divorce."
Mickey says to the Judge, "I didn't say that she was crazy, I said that she was F***ing Goofy!"................

Well the fact is that in the big wide world out there that there are evil, nasty people that will kill, dismember and torture for a variety of reasons....
call it mental illness, genetics, heredity, religion, cultism, culture, IQ, nature vs nurture, or whatever you want,
but understand that it is there and there is not a damn thing that you can do about it............
except protect yourself and loved ones........

There has been some whining on the Left over Palin's use of crosshairs in some "targeting" ads.

I give you this, which is purported to be from the DNC, circa 2004. Don't hear much about it now..n but those look like BULLSEYES to me.

You're just seeing what you want to see. If you enhance the image and zoom in, you can clearly see that these are not bullseyes, but rather peacepointers(tm). Not the same thing at all.

She just has to make sure the belly jewelry doesn't get caught on the pistol when she draws it mexicano style.

I don't see the names of individual politicians on there; that's very different from Palin's map. Not that I think Palin, Beck, Rush, or anybody else but the shooter is responsible for what happened.

That's very perceptive of you.

He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right.

What are you trying to convince me of? I was just sayin' it's kind of a weak comparison.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Cheeze whiz! Can't even give out compliments to some people without being accused of nefariousness of purpose. But that's ok cuz I still love you man.

A tangible reason - people snap, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Just look out for yourself.
