Even a friend who gave or sold him guns would risk federal prison time for arming someone they knew or suspected was a felon. Yet the proud racist and anti-Semite stands accused of firing both a shotgun and a handgun in the murder of three people at Jewish facilities in Overland Park last weekend. So who put his finger on a trigger? Investigators ...
Nice as it is to see people let go of long-held grudges, this was actually less surprising than it might have been. Exactly two weeks earlier, a different press release announced that Prince had gained control of his publishing. ("How 'bout them publishing rights? What a laugh," he sang on 1996's "White Mansion." "I don't know Bo but I do know math.") Not ...
Which brings the question - where are the wingnut militias and demagogues for this one where the state is taking church owned lands? Could it be that they only whinge for Christian ranchers? Or could it be because it's a state seizure instead of a Federal collection of due fees? The Texas Department of Public Safety said its agents took possession of the Yearning ...
In any event, as I was going through my "Congress-Demos" in my Iraq file drawer yesterday, I found a little gem of a quote by then-Rep. Mark Kirk from just after the passage of the notorious resolution that gave President George W. Bush the authority to wage war against Iraq. It's from the October 12, 2002 edition of Congressional Quarterly Weekly: "Many people ...

WASHINGTON, Apr 9 2014 (IPS) - Three years after Colombia agreed to U.S. demands to better protect labour rights and activists, a "Labour Plan of Action" (LPA) drawn up by the two nations is showing mixed results at best, according to U.S. officials and union and rights activists from both countries.

Video at link. A California deputy accidentally shot himself while trying to kill a dog that he said was threatening his life on Wednesday, but video captured by a local television station later showed the animal much smaller than reported and peacefully playing with children.

If you were looking to the wind down of the Afghan war as creating a potential peace dividend, that's now unlikely due to Putin's nationalistic moves on the Ukraine.

What Calgary police chief Rick Hanson called the "worst mass murder" in the city's history didn't end at the barrel of a gun.

Ben Mathis-Lilley, Slate: New York Electoral College: State Joins National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

The Rocket Boys In the late 1930s, a group of Caltech graduate students were booted off campus after blowing up (part of!) their building during a rocket test gone awry. Unwilling to give up on the joy of semi-controlled explosions, the students and a few of their friends headed into the San Gabriel Mountains. They picked a deserted gully -- Arroyo Seco -- ...
