I know a guy who says that criminals are stupid, and that's why they chose to be criminals -- I'm not sure I completely agree with that across all spectra of crime, but surely if you are a burglar, in order not to be seen or heard at 3am, wouldn't you choose to walk in all the fallen leaves and to fiddle with all the jingly things on your keyring? And when you ducked behind a shed when someone flips on the backdoor light, would you leave the tip of your boot hanging outside of the shadowed zone?
After hearing the slide on my .270 racked, at least he was smart enough to bug out in the provided time-frame before Buster, Mr. Mag-light and I did our sweep. Given the rapidity with which the seemingly random pickup-truck blasted out of our neighborhood at 3:30 during said sweep, I assume he'll be looking for greener pastures....

Supporting Ron Paul
As everyone knows, I rather like Ron Paul, since he's the only libertarian running right now (the Libertarians, as in the Libertarian party, are a sad joke and look like they'll remain so for decades to come).
If you want to support Paul, but don't want to throw away your cash too soon, there's a new online Pledge you can sign up for that states:

"I will donate $100 but only if 1,000,000 other people will do the same."If you're interested in signing up, the link is here.

Why I like Obama
Barak Obama just came out and said that if he's elected president, he'll withdraw all our troops out of Iraq by the end of 2008. I rather disagree with this approach: we should either stay til it's fixed or else let them cut each others' throats & be done with it. Not sure which one's right, though.... But I'm digressing.
You'll notice a clamoring lack of predictive declarations being made by the triangulating sons of bitches currently being squeezed from the bowels of our two major factions onto the national stage, except for Obama. He may be wrong on many counts, but he makes straight-up statements; he puts his candidacy on the line with highly quotable and therefore attackable statements.
Compared to the soulless pandering jackasses competing with Obama, I'll gladly vote for someone I can trust to do the wrong thing: it's predicatable & manageable. When you can trust someone to do the wrong thing, you can probably trust his reasons for doing so. Kind of a Ron Paul vote of despair (at the fact that I won't get a chance to vote for Paul): as long as we can't have someone good in office, let's at least have someone we can count on.
