To whom it may concern...

So apparently the seventeen year-old moron (is that a redundancy?) who was tasered on the field in Philadelphia the other night called his father to ask permission first:

Steve Consalvi, a 17-year old high school senior, called his father from the Philadelphia Phillies game on Monday and asked for permission to run on the field.

“He said, ‘Dad, can I run on the field? ‘I don’t think you should, son,’ ” his father Wayne, 45, told the Philadelphia Daily News.

What I'd have told mine in that situation is something like, "If you want to spend the night in jail and pay the fine, that's your decision. But don't use your phone call from jail to call me, because I'm not going to bail you out if you do something that STUPID. I'll testify for the prosecution that it was pre-meditated and that you obviously knew it was wrong, because if I haven't managed to teach you not to do something that STUPID, you're obviously going to need more education from the legal system than I can give you."

Why was Kerry in Florida?

The tasering of a student at the University of Florida earlier this week took place at a talk being given by Massachusetts own John Kerry. What Chris wants to know is why was John Kerry there in the first place?
My response to that is, who cares? Let's just count our blessings that he was.

The less time John Kerry is in Washington doing his job, the better for the country. He can do far less damage droning to a group of college leftists in Florida than actually legislating.

And that goes for the rest of the Massachusetts congressional delegation as well...

"Seared, seared in my memory"

What's more fun than Being John Malkovich?

Mocking John Kerry...

Later, the professional Vietnam veteran expressed concern that the student’s freedom of speech had been squelched in "a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan…that is, if Mr. Khan had been able to buy a high-voltage stun gun."
