«-- Basic Survival Skills for Children, by M.L. | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Notes from JWR:
Today I got an e-mail from my old friend "Jeff Trasel", who mentioned that he had just spent several gleeful hours updating Wikipedia's page on the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition. He said: "Take a look at the new section on Indicted, convicted, and scandalized members. The utter hypocrisy of these scoundrels is fantabulous! They outta to re-name the organization: 'Mayors (Only a Few of Whom are Thieves, Bribe-Takers, Civil Rights Violators, Money-Launderers, Influence-Peddlers, Defrauders, Philanderers, NFA Violators, Extortionists, Perjurers, Commie Sympathizers, and Pedophiles) Against Illegal Guns (Except of Course Our Own) Coalition.' Oh, I gotta mention: The incarceration rate in the United States is approximately 509 per 100,000, but if all of the currently-charged members of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition are convicted, their conviction rate would equate to 2,500 per 100,000, five times the national average for us lowly proles. It is hard to believe that such Ayyarun could be elected to positions of trust and confidence."
