Mass Shooting at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin
These bouts of senseless violence are always tragic, but a half dozen worshipers killed in or on their way to temple... truly horrible.

"As of the 5 PM eastern briefing from the local Chief of Police, there is confirmation that there are 7 dead and 3 others injured. The police will not be releasing the names of any of the victims nor the police officer who was shot until all family members have been notified. They are treating this as an in process criminal investigation and an “active scene” and they will not be releasing the identity of the shooter. They are treating it as an incident of “domestic terrorism” and the FBI is taking over the investigation on that end. There will be another briefing tomorrow morning at 10 AM, but until then we probably shouldn’t expect much more in terms of details."

Elderly Women Defends Jewelry Store (Employees and a Customer) From Five Burgers
You will never guess what allowed this frail old lady to protect her store, her customers, and her employees? Ok, you probably could guess that it is a gun. Guns are not inherently had, they are tools. Like all tools, bad people can use them for evil. Punishing the good people, and ensuring that only evil people are armed, would be at best counter productive and at least in this country unconstitutional.

Obama - 'Jets Fans Should be Nervous About Tebow Trade'
Getting involved in sports, not always the best of ideas. As for the Jets, given Obama's track record, I would say they have a decent chance of going all the way.

"Is President Barack Obama taking a page out of Richard Nixon's playbook? In 1971, President Nixon suggested a play for the Redskins before their playoff game with the 49ers. On Thursday, more than 40 years later, Obama opined on the Jets trade for QB Tim Tebow.
In an interview with 97.3 The Fan, a radio station in Columbus, Ohio, Obama said he thought Jets fans should be "nervous" about the trade and that he was not in favor of a quarterback controversy to start the season. He said that QB Mark Sanchez is "not Tom Brady yet," but he
pointed out that he did lead the Jets to two consecutive AFC Championship games."

Obama Suing to Hinder Military Voting in Ohio
This has the potential to be used as a bludgeoned against Obama; the Commander in Chief actively actively trying to make it more difficult for military members to vote. I do not think his excuse is going to mitigate much.

"Under current Ohio law, the period during which voters can cast their ballot early ends three days before the election. However, the law has an exception for members of the military. They are allowed to vote early right up until election day.
The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee have filed a lawsuit to overturn this law. They argue that it is arbitrary and unconstitutional to afford special consideration, flexibility, and accommodations to military voters to make it easier for them to vote in person. In court papers, Team Obama repeatedly asserts that there is no good reason to give special flexibility to military voters.
Fifteen Ohio military groups have intervened in the lawsuit to defend the Ohio legislature’s decision to give special consideration to military members. They argue that there are valid reasons for the consideration, such as special logistical challenges faced by military personnel. And they call Obama’s position that military members should not have extra flexibility “offensive.”
Team Romney is attempting to gain political mileage from the Obama campaign’s legal position. However, Obama’s spokesmen, including David Axelrod, defend that position on the grounds that they are not attempting to deny military members the extra three days. Rather, they want to restore prior Ohio law, under which all voters could vote on those days, not just military members. And they complain that the Romney campaign is misrepresenting the Democrats’ position.
But, as noted, Team Obama’s legal position is clear from its court papers — it doesn’t believe that there is anything that justifies giving military members extra fleixibility when it comes to voting. Indeed, it finds the contrary, pro-military view so weak as to render unconstitutional the special consideration granted to military members.
Not surprisingly, it is not just Team Romney that takes exception to this position. As noted, 15 Ohio military groups are offended."
