Well, in regards to Mr. Loughner, I may have to retract what I said about him. The boy may just in fact, be batch*t crazy. I mean really, who is still using a film camera these days? :crazy:

Does this mean my Rolleiflexes constitute a "cache?" I hope the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Film doesn't find the 4x5! Or the broken 8x10 for that matter...

Shooting rampage victim arrested at ABC-TV town hall meeting
The theme of the event was "An American Conversation Continued" -- the idea being to continue the conversation that a madman's brutal rampage had interrupted. So it was inevitable that the conversation would eventually turn to politics. It did, toward the end, with Amanpour leading a discussion on a very touchy but obvious topic: gun control.

That's where the atmosphere turned tense. When Tucson Tea Party founder Trent Humphries rose to suggest that any conversation about gun control should be put off until after the funerals for all the victims, witnesses say Fuller became agitated. Two told KGUN9 News that finally, Fuller took a picture of Humphries, and said, "You're dead."

When State Rep. Terri Proud (R-Tucson) rose to explain and clarify current and proposed gun legislation in the state, several people groaned or booed her. One of those booing, according to several witnesses, was Fuller. Witnesses sitting near Fuller told KGUN9 News that Fuller was making them feel very uncomfortable.

The event wrapped up a short time later. Deputies then escorted Fuller from the room. As he was being led off, Fuller shouted loudly to the room at large. Several witnesses said that what they thought they heard him shout was, "You're all whores!"

Fuller, age 63, is a political operative who specializes in gathering petitions for ballot initiatives. Before the program began, he passed out business cards to people sitting around him that read:
"Signatures
"Expediting Initiatives since 2006
"J. Eric Fuller
"Political Circulator."

A Pima County Sheriff's spokesman told KGUN9 News that the department has charged Fuller with one count of threats and intimidation, and said they plan to charge him with at least one count of disorderly conduct. Humphries told KGUN9 News that he does plan to press those charges.

The irony could not be more pointed, or painful. One of the issues discussed in the town hall meeting was the question of why no police or mental health professionals had ever intervened with Jared Lee Loughner, despite his increasingly bizarre behavior that had included disruptive outbursts.

but who's Fuller? i think he made some recent remarks: Shooting victim says Beck, Palin, Angle ?got their first target'

he seems about as stable as this guy:

behold, the mind control of the tea party

I'm sure if I got shot in the leg I'd at least be a little unstable.

Or bullseyes on a map...

Oh wait, we discussed the difference already of archery and guns.

Anyways, yeah that dude has a right to be upset. I get shot, I'm probably going to be pretty pissed off and looking for somebody's ass.

Can't fault the authorities for taking him in, considering.

this reminds me of how domestic violence isn't funny, until one of your friends, who just divorced her husband, sends you this email
Menopause Jewelry

My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings,
bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be
able to monitor my moods.

We've discovered that when I'm in a good mood, it
turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a
big frickin red mark on his forehead.

Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond. Dumb ass.

impeccable timing, no?


ed for gold:
Reese allegedly called KFKA-AM (1310) owner Justin Sasso and said "I'll give you by the end of the day today" to stop contacting KELS sponsors "or we're going to have a shootout." Both stations air a conservative talk format.

if you know you'd lose a proper man-to-man, that's how you roll.

and if you think you'd lose a gunfight, go to law school & get your jd

and if you can't do either of those, you use non-gov't roads to go to safeway to stock up on ramen, where a congressional rep may happen to cross your path

Interesting.

"We saw a white, Catholic, Republican federal judge murdered on his
way to greet a Democratic woman member of Congress, who was his friend
and was Jewish. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year-old
Mexican-American college student, who saved her, and eventually by a
Korean-American combat surgeon…And then it was all eulogized and
explained by our African-American president. And, in a tragic event,
that's a remarkable statement about the country." --Mark Shields, PBS columnist

My mom sent it to me. It seems it was taken out of context a bit.

There was one observation that was made this week I just have to pass on to you by a friend of mine, Allen Ginsberg, who is an historian up in Maine. And he said, this week, we saw a white, Catholic, Republican federal judge murdered on his way to greet a Democratic woman, member of Congress, who was his friend and was Jewish. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year-old Mexican-American college student, who saved her, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon.
