Pure Politics
bush speaks for once in his political career as an expert on the subject:
“I say it’s pure politics,” he said. “And that’s just the nature of democracy. Sometimes pure politics enters into the rhetoric.”

Weblog ethics and editing/deleting posts: should you or shouldn’t you? Head over to Wealth Bondage where The Happy Tutor lets us know that Jonathon Delacour is back and he has changed his positon on the question.
I Hate Thieves
Back from the road and I hate thieves.
Is that correct? Ah, yes, associate your emotion with of the act not the actor. Well, I hate theft and today I hate thieves.
Late last night, 30 minutes from home, returning from a perfectly wonderful few days away (my how the constant caress of near by surf soothes) we get a phone call telling us one of our cars had been burglarized.
I hate thieves.
Deal with the police, deal with insurance, everything takes time and eventually the damage will be fixed and the stolen items replaced. Low deductible helps for part of the loss. But we will be out of pocket several hundred dollars when all is said and done. This is probably triple what the jerk(s) will get when they fence their take. The out of pocket is nothing compared to the psychological loss. It is partially mended by time.
I still hate thieves.
In all their forms, catch them, try them and jail them: the murderers, the rapists, the beaters and abusers, the muggers, the robbers, the vandals. Take something that does not belong to you and pay the price.
And I still hate thieves.
On the Road Again
More summer vacation through 8/6. For sure no posting from now through Sunday evening and after that possible intermittent posting through Wednesday. Modulator will return to a ‘normal’ posting pattern on 8/7.
Games Future Lawyers Play
Bobby at Heretical Ideas teaches us how to play Gunner Bingo. It sounds like a game that could be played in any too populated classroom. Perhaps if those playing participated more actively in the classes we would all be better off. 🙂
