An email I just sent to the Hugh Hewitt show:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I just got home from work, and was listening to the Hugh show on WIND in Chicago.

A caller remarked ‘When seconds count, police are minutes away” Hugh made the comment, agreeing with an Aryan Nation ex-con that this was ‘Crazy talk” and that it “Denigrates cops”

This is first-water ignorance. First of all, the statement is provably, demonstrably, irrefutably true. Second, any cop who is “denigrated” by the statement has no place on a police force anywhere in America. A good cop will quote the statement to you. A great cop will tell you how to secure your home and give yourself the couple of minutes it takes the cop to get there, a superior cop will take you to the range and show you how to exercise your second amendment rights to make sure that you are safe until the police arrive.

I am greatly disappointed in this, though not surprised. I’d like to hope Hugh would come to his senses on this issue, but I will not be surprised if he does not. Nor will I be listening to the show any more to find out.

Dumbasses. Some never get it.

In Indiana.

Escape still gives us grief when warm- hot, actually. Works fine for the first two hours of operations which will let the wife safely drive it to work, but after a while it has misfiring issues. Will start tearing into it tomorrow night. Made it home tonight mostly on constant prayer, lord knows many a night the schoolbus made it home from some field trip on the power of prayer alone. Thanks for your thoughts. Now bed.

that being a pair of functioning testes in a house full of drunken broads would be more fun. it isn’t, it’s just difficult to get meaningful sleep.

Funeral proper today. Interrment in the spring. Ogwife is doing as well as could be expected, wife of the deceased is less consolable.

Today we’ll see if the work the garage did on the Escape repairs the trouble fully. Hope so. Don’t need any drama going home. Keep a happy thought, minions.
