Random Shots (31 May 09)

You Could Be Tasered If...
-You are a 72 year old Great-Grandmother and refuse to sign the speeding ticket. As a former Constable I'd say the Constable here needs to do some serious threat assessment training with his deputies.

Obama is STILL Good For Gun Sales
-Gun sales skyrocket in Connecticut...
-In Kentucky, Concealed weapon applicants on the rise. Ohio, too.

Obama's Woes
-Jake Tapper ponders the fact that Obama is the first President to have voted to filibuster a SCOTUS nominee, yet now hopes "for a clean process." Chances are SoSo.
-Cable News and Talk Radio have again broken heavily to the right in viewership. Can Obama's mandate last through the 2010 midterms? And if Ted Rall thinks Obama has jumped the shark...
-Self-Promotion is NOT Leadership: "As Barnes and others have noted, there is a significant gap between Obama’s personal popularity and the popularity of his policies. On Guantanamo, spending, bailouts and even his Supreme Court nominee the public doesn’t “take Obama’s word for it.” They are making independent judgments and don’t like a significant portion of the agenda."

Britain's Got Talent
-Susan Boyle second to a dance troupe. Huh.

Remember, do it to them before they do it to you!
