Surprised?

Newspaper reports says people are surprised at the hunter who shot and killed several others when he was challenged over his use of a tree stand. It turns out that the killer had several domestic disturbance complaints. Someone with a short temper and a semi-automatic combat rifle sounds like an invitation to disaster to me, in or out of the woods. Besides, anyone who thinks they need a 20 round magazine to hunt deer, from a tree stand no less, would be branded as an incompetent jerk in my old neighborhood.

Speaking of incompetence, does anyone really believe the reports that Commandate El Busho is disappointed with the lack of a vote on the intellegence reform bill? Either he's saving all that political capital he earned with re-election to further screwing up the tax code and social security, or he's the lamest of lame ducks, or he's once again lying.
