Thank you, Paul Rodgers

Watching all this partisan poo-flinging going on about the whackjob who gunned down Judge Rolls, that poor little nine year old girl, and the other four victims of his lethal lunacy, I can't help but think of the Soviet-era proverb: C volkami zhit, kak volkami krit, which loosely translates "If you run with the wolves, howl like them." For those of you who don't get how that applies in the current political context, let's just say that there are a lot of un-housebroken leftist puppies out there howling at the tops of their lungs so the alpha wolves won't think they've strayed from the groupthink of the pack.

Truly, there is nothing new under the sun. But I'd like to think, occasionally, that my political opponents didn't include so damn many Stalinist wannabees.

Lucky you. For better or for worse, most of the civilians I know tend to be moderate lefties with a handful of socialists; at the same time, I know a fair number of conservatives in and out of the Tea Party movement. So I've had the displeasure of seeing a lot of Facebook posts that boil down to "T3H 3VIL SARAH PALIN TEABAGGERS! IT'S THEIR FAULT! ASDFGJHGSF!!!" while on the other hand I'm seeing calls for prayer for Congresswoman Giffords, blood donation notices, etc.

Also wondering why somebody didn't blow a hole in this guy, but there are enough bodies to bury already. And who knows - maybe this guy will get his head on straight and find a way to try and balance this evil he's done with some good. We can always hope.
