Ala. grandmother shoots intruder in her bedroom

A pistol-packing grandmother in northern Alabama believes intruders will think twice before messing with her again.

Police say 69-year-old Ethel Jones shot an 18-year-old man in the stomach when she found him inside her bedroom at her home in Decatur.

Jones says she sleeps with her gun under a pillow next to her. She says she grabbed it after hearing a door rattle shortly before 3 a.m. Monday.

Police say the suspect removed a window air conditioner to get inside the home. He is in the hospital and faces a charge of second-degree burglary.

Sharpton the shiester remains true to form.

Sharpton, not Beck, distorts MLK’s legacy

Sharpton came to fame as a result of the Tawana Brawley mess, where the words “dignity,” “disciplined” and “principled” never applied. Sharpton and others accused a white prosecutor of raping Brawley, who was then a teenager. Charges that the white man raped the black girl were never proved, and some claimed they were downright false.

King’s “I Have A Dream” speech of Aug. 28, 1963, was hailed for his exhortation that his country judge people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. Sharpton gained notoriety during the boycott of a white-owned business in Harlem. The good revvum called the owner a “white interloper.”

I viewed King’s speech in its entirety that summer day in 1963. I must have read it a dozen times since then. The words “white interloper” aren’t in there. No, Sharpton isn’t the guy fit to preach to Beck or anyone else about “distorting” King’s dream.
Sharpton and other black activists, leaders and pundits are fond of chiding conservatives who quote King, claiming we take his words out of context. But there are some King words Sharpton and other blacks absolutely wouldn’t dream of quoting. Even conservatives have steered clear of them.

“Our crime rate is far too high.”

And your rhetoric is pathetic.

Oval Office Extreme Makeover?

On the President’s first day back in the office from vacation, facing a deteriorating economic horizon, one Internet site is claiming he has returned to a newly redecorated Oval Office, complete with new carpets and drapes.

A White House spokesman tells ABC News the administration will have no immediate comment on the Drudge Report that “workers have been busy installing new carpets, drapes, painting, etc. in Oval Office.”

Education secretary urged his employees to go to Sharptons rally

We don’t need no education, we just need thought control:

President Obama’s top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall.

“ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the ‘Reclaim the Dream’ rally and march,” began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday.

Sharpton created the event after Glenn Beck announced a massive Tea Party “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where King spoke in 1963.

The Washington Examiner learned of the e-mail from a Department of Education employee who felt uncomfortable with Duncan’s request.

Although the e-mail does not violate the Hatch Act, which forbids federal employees from participating in political campaigns, Education Department workers should feel uneasy, said David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute.

“It sends a signal that activity on behalf of one side of a political debate is expected within a department. It’s highly inappropriate … even in the absence of a direct threat,” Boaz said. “If we think of a Bush cabinet official sending an e-mail to civil servants asking them to attend a Glenn Beck rally, there would be a lot of outrage over that.”

Evidently there is a reason these people are in the service industry and need rich union fatcats to provide for them and tell them what to do and say.

Quote of the Day

The point is this: people like Beck, Palin, and Limbaugh are as much a test of our character as anything else. Are we so dedicated to a set idea of decorum and credentials that we will close our ears to people who are telling us the truth, because of their social attributes, communication style, and demeanor?

Reid and the NRA – they won’t back a loser

The Corner

The National Rifle Association’s decision not to endorse Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race Friday strikes me as a significant one. It probably had a lot to do with his Sotomayor and Kagan votes — underscoring the importance of such votes, for anyone who had any doubts. That’s some long-term significance. More significantly in the short-term though, is that this suggests the NRA thinks Sharron Angle can win this race. It certainly helps to have a friend in the Senate Democratic leader, but he might not be there in January . . .
