This article annoys me. I confess I didn't read the article. Everything I need to know is in the headline. I further confess that I, too, have the impulse to engage in the same finger pointing exercise. However, after thinking about it, I realize how petty and foolish it looks. It's the same thing I get from my kids, "he hit me first." I don't care, don't do it. Don't talk about what if it was a Democrat.

In any event, I just received a call from The Wife. To wit: "Did you order something?" "No, why?" "There's something here for you." "Uh, box, bag, envelope, singing telegram?" "It's a box" "Who's is from?" "It's from [Name redacted pending confession or further investigation]" "Who?" "(repeats name)" "No idea. Never heard of him." A quick google search later I find that the sender's return address is in the wilds of northern Pennsylvania. A place I have never visited. "Open it." "W...
