The law and the jungle

South side blues

This is a tricky one to comment on:

"I'm sad to leave my home, but I have to protect my child, protect myself and protect everything I own," Seslar said.

 After the U.S. Senate voted to pass the motion to proceed to floor debate on the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed that this bill would solve illegal immigration and secure the border.

Spreading stupidity

I know I've remarked more that once that this is the stupidest thing in Indiana law (since the repeal of the provision making us promise to use our fireworks out of state, anyway), but it's worth noting that the stupidity is apparently spreading:

Re-institutionalization
