WaPo: Shooter is Registered “Independent”, Didn’t Vote in 2010
Wait, you mean he wasn’t some crazed right-winger upset that attempts to defeat Representative Gabriel Giffords (D-AZ) were in vain? Next you’re gonna tell me his listing “The Communist Manifesto” as one of his favorite books doesn’t point to him being a Glenn Beck fan. Loughner registered to vote on Sept. 29, 2006, identifying himself [...]
Revealed: Jared Lee Loughner’s Mugshot
10. January 2011
Holy crap. There’s seriously something wrong with this guy. He’s smiling after having murdered multiple individuals, including a nine-year-old girl. As I asked Jake Tapper, to whom I owe a hat tip, when’s the execution? I’d like to be present when this asshole fries.
Arizona Shooter Was 9/11 Truther
10. January 2011
Nothing says “tea partier” like an atheist 9/11 Truther who likes “The Communist Manifesto” and had displayed no previous interest in firearms. Clearly a man who would love Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck. Mistrust of government was Loughner’s defining conviction, the friends said. He believed the U.S. government was behind 9/11, and worried that governments [...]

9. January 2011
Major Dick Winters, whose military service was featured in the renowned Band of Brothers series, has passed away, just a few weeks short of his 93rd birthday. Winters was always gracious about his new-found celebrity, but never really comfortable with it. He never claimed to be a hero and said that he had nothing to [...]
Dem Introduces Bill to Ban Crosshair Graphics
9. January 2011
To quote Charles Homans, associate editor of Foreign Policy: Is something this dumb seriously happening? Why yes, Charles, yes it is. Because a tragedy wouldn’t be a tragedy without legislators responding idiotically. Representative Bob Brady of Pennsylvania told The Caucus he plans to introduce a bill that would ban symbols like that now-infamous campaign crosshair [...]
More Gun Control Isn’t the Answer
9. January 2011
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, isn’t even out of critical condition territory and her more liberal colleagues are already talking about implementing more gun control. Their course of action, while understandable, is the wrong response. First of all, even having gone so far as to ban all gun ownership [...]
Obama in 2008: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
9. January 2011
A reminder to lefties who want to blame harsh rhetoric used by Republicans on the shooting Arizona: The leader of your party had no problem using tough rhetoric, either. Channeling the mob drama, “The Untouchables,” Mr. Obama said in reference to the general election rumble with the Republicans: “If they bring a knife to the [...]

Ultimate Fighter Visited by Secret Service After Anti-ObamaCare Comments
8. January 2011
This is just dumb. Volkmann prevailed in his most recent Ultimate Fighting Championship bout, against Antonio McKee, this past Saturday in Las Vegas. Following his win over McKee at UFC 125, Volkmann was interviewed by MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani. At the end of the interview Volkmann was asked whom he would like to fight next. Volkmann [...]
Feds Spend $6.85 Million Per Minute
7. January 2011
The federal government spent $3.6 trillion in fiscal year 2010, or $6.8 million per minute. Of course, CBS News — which stood by as Democrats racked up record deficits and debt — places this in the context of laughing at the early cost-cutting measures implemented by Republicans. We’re told that their efforts so far seem [...]
