Shots Across The Bow

K-Town Smackdown!

A few posts that caught my eye today:

• Uncle takes Mr. Neal to the woodshed:

  R. Neal on the guns in bars bill:

  Yes, that’s just what we need. More yahoos with more guns in more places.

  Yes, because everyone with a permit to lawfully carry a firearm is a yahoo. Been writing Obama’s stuff?

  Anyway, most of our neighbor states have such a provision and no increase in violence at restaurants has been reported.

  Note carefully that after the smackdown that Uncle includes a factual statement based in reality rather than hyperbole. It's called "making an argument," a technique folks like Mr. Neal generally underutilize.

• Les Jones Word of the Day Post is simply a classic:

  WORM: What Obama Really Meant.

  Found at a Talkleft discussion of Barack Cougar Mellencamp Obama's Pennsylvania gaffe.

  Incidentally, for those who thought my "breakdancing John McCain" post yesterday went a bit too far, read what Mr. Obama had to say about small town voters again.
