When Doctors Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Doctors Dept
The gang that hangs out over at the ATB comments section contributes a link to a genuinely hilarious sendup of the usage of statistics in politics, which I think you'll find highly amusing no matter which side of the gun control issue you're on.
HT: nofate and gringoman, primarily.
Since the humor piece uses gun control as its takeoff point, I'll pass on a home security tactic gringoman links to. The whole story is interesting, but I love Ms. Matthis's far more effective version of the little signs that say, "This Home Protected By 24-Hour Security Service," or even, "Mr. Burglar, Meet Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson." She simply went out to the shooting range, put a few tightly-spaced Glock rounds in the vitals of a human-silhouette paper target, brought the target home, taped it up on the inside of the glass storm door, and THEN put next to THAT her own sign:
"Don't even think about it."
Now that's my kind of chick.

reminds me of a true story of the National Ornamental Metals museum in Memphis. They were applying for a grant to host a major show, and on the grant from was a question about security, and what firm, or security measures were in place. They answered: "Winchester, Black Dog and Associates." Winchester rifle, black lab mix named (of course) Black Dog, and the helpers at the museum.
And Texans are my kind of guys.
Anyway, if you think I'm your kind of chick, you will love the mother of one of our writers -- Y2K Granny. Her weapon makes my Glock pale by comparison.
