Driven to Destruction 0
The other day, I had a very scary experience.
I was behind a Tesla with a little bumper sticker that said, “I’m probably on autopilot.”
I’m just glad I wasn’t in front of it.
“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
More neighborly politeness:
On Saturday, March 30th, police responded to a shots fired call in the area of the Boothsville Apartments in Fairmont.
They spoke to a man who claimed that a bullet went through his wall and up into his ceiling, while he and his 11-year-old daughter were home.

Meta: Ghost Posts 0
I seem to be experiencing some issues behind the scenes.
Several posts show in my dashboard as having been posted, but don’t appear on the front page. The odd thing is that the posts show up when I visit the site in a text browser, such as w3m, and there is nothing the posts’ syntax that is out of the ordinary.
I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
Not that, in the great scheme of things, they would be any great loss to humanity . . . .

At the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Peter Gariepy suggests that, instead of going to court to block a KKK member who wants to run for the Republican nomination for governor of Missouri, perhaps, instead, the Republican Party should ask itself why a KKK member feels at home running for the Republican Party’s nomination.
The Rule of Flaw 0
At the Hartford Courant, attorneys Kenneth Laska and Michael Jainchill argue that Donald Trump poses a clear and present danger to the concept of the rule of law. A snippet:
Imagine any other civil or criminal litigant making the slanderous and dangerous public statements that Donald Trump has made about the judges and court personnel involved in the civil and criminal cases brought against him. Anyone else would be reprimanded, chastised or found in contempt of court. Donald Trump’s unwarranted assault on the court system gives others permission to disregard and disrespect the courts in future matters. This cannot be allowed to continue.
