The Supremes just struck down Chicago's outright ban on handguns (I wonder if Mayor Daley's bodyguards carry handguns?). I've said many times in these very pages that Chicago is the mother lode. If one can clearly and accurately show the American people the thugocracy that is Chicago politics, Obama is finished. We're going to get an opportunity to see them in action with this decision. They don't like to be pushed round. The machine runs Chicago, no one else.
Hammer, does this mean that for the first time since before prohibition, Chicago's relative handful of law-abiding citizens won't consitute 100% of the unarmed population there?
Have the Supremes gone mad? Do they not realize they just gave legal credence to nothing more than a "quaint relic of colonial times?" (Sorry CW, I just absolutely love that quote).
Interesting that as the government moves farther and farther left, the 2nd amendment gains greater and greater standing. If I ever get to meet them, I'll bow to the founders and ask if I may be so privileged as to shake their hands.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! I've also invited a few friends to join in, so pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Secondly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility ONLY for what I write. I do not take responsibility, nor will I be held responsible, for what my guest bloggers write or for what those who offer comments write. I will occasionally exercise my right to edit/delete both blog posts and comments if they do not meet my view of what clean, civil, concise and relevant mean.
