The latest? A Palestinian man kills an American tourist (because he thought the American was Jewish, which he wasn&#8217;t). The AP headline only say the Palestinian man was convicted of &quot;stabbing&quot; the tourist. (Oh, and the tourist was a Christian who happened to be wearing a Star of David.)<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Despite increases in gun sales, <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2011\/09\/28\/gun-crime-continues-to-decrease-despite-increase-in-gun-ownership\/\" target=\"_blank\">gun crimes continued to decrease<\/a> in the United States for the fourth straight year in 2010, according to the FBI.&quot; This goes completely against the liberal narrative. The reality is likely closer to crime is down <em>because<\/em> of the increase in gun sales.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;President Obama\u2019s jobs bill is better than doing nothing in the face of a national crisis, but it won\u2019t have much impact on unemployment.&quot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/where-obamas-jobs-bill-falls-short\/2011\/09\/28\/gIQA5jne5K_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">This incredibly foolish line<\/a> begins a column trying to suggest Obama&#8217;s Stimulus Jr. should be bigger. First of all, how is wasting money on something that won&#8217;t do what it purports to do better than doing nothing? That&#8217;s how politicians have gotten us into this fiscal mess. Second, the answer is <em>always<\/em> more, more, more. And yet here we are anyway. How can more pounding our heads against the wall feel any better?<\/p>\n<p>And finally, a political cartoon (of sorts) of my own. Someone took a picture of tax protesters, and attempted a little irony by pointing out things around them paid for by taxes. But they missed the point entirely.
