Interesting Question
Alwin Roe who Tweets at @TheButterZone had this interesting question and observation a few minutes ago:
If most gas stations have defenseless cashiers, why not have an ATM for armed robbers to fire a shot into it? It’ll save lives, evidence 😉
He has a point.
Steyn – “Do They Not Care About Dead Mexicans?”
I think the answer is unfortunately no.
Quote Of The Day No. 1
Thirdpower at Days of our Trailers has this observation about the City of Chicago laws on guns after noting the number of dead and wounded killed there over the past couple of days:
And the city will continue to spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to ensure that women are more likely to be raped and strangled than defend themselves w/ a firearm. Remember, it’s law abiding citizens w/ firearms that are a danger to society.
The Lamestream Media
Chris Muir nails it again. Of course, he could have substituted the Washington Post and the message would have remained the same.

Ten Arizona Sheriffs Say Enough Is Enough
Sheriffs from six ten Arizona counties held a press conference outside the Arizona State Capitol today. They said it was time for an independent investigation into Operation Fast and Furious.
The sheriffs represent Pinal, Cochise, LaPaz, Mohave, Greenlee, and Yavapai counties and are both Democrats and Republicans. They all agreed that it was not a partisan issue for them but rather a feeling of betrayal by the Federal government. According to the report by ABC 15 reporter Lori Jean Gliha, all the sheriffs were united in their call for an independent investigation.
“It’s embarrassing to this country and me,” said LaPaz County Sheriff Don Lowery. “I’ve spent fifty years in uniform, and it’s embarrassing for me to stand before you and apologize for people that we elect.”
Lowery, a Democrat, said when it comes to this case, he is not a politician and believes people should be held accountable for the case, no matter what their party affiliation is.
“If this guy (Holder) done something wrong,” Lowery said, “He needs to be terminated, if he did. It needs to be investigated first.”
UPDATE: According to other news reports it was not just six Arizona sheriffs who called for an independent investigation but ten.
Bill O’Reilly Interview With Sharyl Attkisson
Watch the latest video at <a href=”http://video.foxnews.com”>video.foxnews.com</a>
To get a broader context of Eric Schultz’s rude, crude, and unacceptable behavior towards Ms. Attkisson, I think it is important to read the assessment of it by Keith Koffler in the White House Dossier blog. I mentioned this earlier today as it seems such behavior is not only common from the White House but is a practiced tactic used to bully reporters.

Rude Behavior By Press Flacks Towards Sharyl Attkisson Is Standard Tactic In Obama Admin
The rude, crude, and unattractive behavior exhibited by DOJ press flack Tracy Schmaler and White House Associate Communications Director Eric Schultz towards CBS News Investigative Reporter Sharyl Attkisson is part of a conscious effort on the part of the Obama Administration to bully reporters over their stories. This according to a blog post by Keith Koffler of the White House Dossier blog. Koffler has covered the White House since 1997 and is the White House correspondent for Roll Call.
Koffler says the bullying tactics used against reporters are part of the Obama Administration’s standard repetoire of tactics used to get them to spike negative stories.
Such tactics as this were rare in both the Clinton and Bush White Houses.
These Obama flacks are not just reacting with visceral anger to the story. They are specifically trained and encouraged to do this. Most of them are actually quite nice to be around when they’re not in Kill the Story Mode.
As Koffler notes, this tactic amounts to a suppression of free speech by this administration. He has written more extensively about it here.
Moreover, Koffler says it amounts to an admission on the part of the Obama Administration that the reporting on Operation Fast and Furious and Project Gunwalker “has legs.” Of course, any reader of this blog or Mike Vanderboegh’s Sipsey Street Irregulars or David Codrea’s National Gun Rights Examiner column knows that. Still he has some good advice for Sheryl:
If Ms. Attkisson understands it’s nothing more than a tool being used against her, it shouldn’t affect her.
Except in that she should understand there’s a good reason they’re doing it: she’s onto something big. The higher the volume of the screaming and the more sickening the language, the closer she’s getting.
As to the immature twits running press operations in this administration, frankly they need their mouths washed out with soap and should be sent to their rooms without dinner. It goes without saying that they shouldn’t be allowed their Blackberries or Xbox 360s either.
Government Helped Arm Drug Cartels – Who Is Accountable?
That is the question that is being asked in this hard-hitting video released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. If Eric Holder and Barack Obama had their wish, it would be some meaningless underling who takes the hit. I think it has gone beyond that point now.
