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.
