Livin' In America

As usual, the left ends up eating its own.

I hope the left never gains absolute power in this country. If it ever does, Woodward would discover what the sharp edge of a kebab knife feels like, rather than being the simple target of Mr. Carroll's overheated prose.

A re-arrest in a famous Atlanta murder.

Mind you, the guy will probably get off scot free, since Paul Howard's on the case. Hell, he'll probably get the chance to murder a judge, a court recorder, a guard, and a federal customs agent, and pistol whip an AJC reporter.

Yesterday, amidst all the hoopla about the aquarium, the AJC noted in a one-liner that Atlanta is the seventh most dangerous city in the US.

The interesting, and moderately salacious, details of the Vernon Jones rape case. (Free subscription required, sorry.)

More here and here.

When I lived in Gwinnett County, nobody wanted MARTA out there because nobody wanted to give Atlanta and Fulton County the ability to export their problems. I guarantee you that's why MARTA is kept on such a short leash.

Now I live inside the perimeter, and pay the 1% tax to support MARTA. Mind you, I don't actually use MARTA. I don't really see that MARTA has much effect on my part of DeKalb County. Mostly I see the occasional empty 33 or 91 bus cruise by. That's about it.

Yeah baby! Yeah!

As an annual member, I get in ahead of the hoi polloi.

Oh goody!

Now the Chinese Government will have even move complete coverage of its citizens.

Sad news about Auburn Avenue.

More news about Atlanta's new aquarium.

Yesterday was the 230th birthday of the US Marine Corps. Ooo-rah and Semper Fi!

Today is veterans day.

Just sayin'.

I love living in The South.


UPDATE: Come on! You must know about The Dukes of Hazzard!

And Deliverance

What I personally love about the South (Yee ha!) is all the yankees who claim cultural superiority as they head waaaaaaaay South.

Kofi says he doesn't want to control the internet.

I don't believe him.

If there's one thing I've noticed about politicians and bureaucrats, it's that they can never have enough power, nor have enough unarmed, ignorant peasants. That's just the way it is.

All politicians and bureaucrats think they know better than you how you should live, so they feel like they should have the right to control you. Under an honest government - the US, say - this results in things like the local DMV office. Under the UN, this results in things like attempted genocide, child prostitution, permanent Palestinian refugee camps, and Sudan lecturing the US on human rights.

You know, the sorts of things that make you wonder what the UNternet would look like.

Any organization that treats the US as no different from Islamofascist death-cultist genocide regimes, while allowing its representatives to run child-prostitution rings and profit from sanctions on brutal dictatorships is not going to get my vote to run the mechanism that allows exposure of its stupidity, cupidity, and utter fecklessness.

Any UN attempt to control the internet should be met with stunned American contempt.

Well, there goes Europe.

France is in for years of civil war as its Muslim population, long allowed to run wild, is brought to heel. And it will be.

Any Muslim who doubts Europe's capacity for violence is about to hear Santayana, loud and clear.

Eeeeewwwww!!!!!!

Woody Allen is basically a child-molester who's learned nothing from life.
