That’s how one of Instapundit’s readers wryly describes last weekend’s violence in Chicago. Since guns are illegal in that city, nothing bad could ever happen there. Of course, as Rachel says: Strangely, even when things are illegal, people still do them.

The land to the left of the HOLLYWOOD sign is for sale:
An investment group that owns 138 sage-covered acres above and to the left of the 45-foot-high, steel-and-concrete H put the land up for sale last month for $22 million.
This is obviously a golden opportunity for someone to, you know, add a few more letters [...]
I spotted this story today:
DENVER – A gun belonging to the pilot of a US Airways plane went off as the aircraft was on approach to land in North Carolina over the weekend, the first time a weapon issued under a federal program to arm pilots was fired, authorities said Monday.

Do I really need to say this? No I don’t, but I just can’t help myself: If you’ve prosecuted and jailed prostitutes as Attorney General, it’s probably not the brightest idea to patronize them.
Out of North Carolina comes this example of extreme stupidity:
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — Elizabeth City State University is offering counseling to faculty and students after some became unknowing participants in an emergency response drill.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported in Wednesday’s editions that an armed man burst into a classroom Friday, threatening [...]
This article by Victor Davis Hanson is a good example of why he’s a professional writer and I’m not.

Change seems to be the latest buzzword in politics these days, so I figured I would examine it a bit. Right away, it should be obvious that “change” is nothing but an empty word when it is invoked without context — and the Obama campaign has provided little context. So, I’m going to go out [...]
There was a congressional hearing being carried live on all the news stations this morning. The Congress must be tackling some incredibly grave and important issue to warrant that kind of news coverage.
Subject of the hearing: Steroids in baseball.
As a country, we must be in pretty good shape if the Congress has nothing [...]
I’ve been ignoring the Hollywood writer’s strike since, frankly, it’s not at all important. However, I did have the following thought: since movie tickets already cost far too much, and since 99.4% of all Hollywood output is complete and utter crap, why should these people receive more money? If anything, they should receive less money [...]
The loser kid who shot up a mall in Omaha yesterday did so with an SKS rifle. Many of the press reports I’m seeing today are referring to this as an “assault rifle”. Repeat after me:
The SKS is not an assault rifle.
The SKS is not an assault rifle.
The SKS is not an assault rifle.
The SKS [...]
