“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Play politely.
The woman said she went to the front yard where her husband had been playing with their two sons.
Initially the man did not think he had been shot, the reports says, but he soon noticed blood on his pants and felt pain in his leg.
When deputies interviewed the man at the hospital he said he and his sons had been running races around their house while he was wearing a pistol with a new holster. According to the report, the man said he clipped the edge of a camper parked in his yard as he ran by, causing the gun discharge.
We are a society of stupid.

I have nothing but praise for my hosting provider’s tech support.
I wore a headset for six years. I know competent support when I see it.

I received a report that comments are still broken. I visited the site from a VM of Devuan without logging in and was able to post a comment as a visitor. I have also received a spam comment, which was quarantined by Akismet, as well it should have been. The matter is still under investigation.
Update-de-doo-da:
I received a comment from a visitor today, 2018-03-29. I am concluding that comments are working again. Tomorrow I shall “unstick” this post and it shall no longer be at the top of the page. If you still have difficulties posting comments, try clearing your cache.

I’m not really following the Stormy Daniels affair, because there’s nothing new to see; it’s just one more wreck at a Trumpled demolition derby, and, frankly, if you’ve seen one demolition derby etc. (Except for the gymnastic gyrations of evangelical “Christians” to rationalize their fealty to Donald Trump). Can anyone who has paid attention (not “followed,” simply paid attention to headlines) to Donald Trump’s career be in any way surprised or shocked?
Over at Above the Law, though, Elie Mystal has looked at some of the legal maneuverings and suggests that Michael Cohen may have hoisted himself on his own petard. A snippet:
Cohen claims he paid off Daniels, without Trump’s knowledge. If true, that’s a massive ethical violation. If false, it’s an illegal campaign contribution. By allowing this information to become public, Cohen has shown Mueller’s people a roadmap for how Trump — I mean, David Dennison — might try to launder money. Great job, counselor.
Whether any of that matters is another issue, as the “rule of law” seems increasingly a quaint and passe concept.

Trumplers like violence because they smell so nice:
This phenomena is unique to Trump rallies. “Things got vicious, no matter how much Mr Trump liked to claim his events were ‘love fests,’” one observer noted in The Independent.
