You should never do this with a bat to a car.

Assuming that it’s real, of course.  It’s maybe not real.  But if it is real, then you should never do this and there is nothing in this post to indicate otherwise.  Again, you should never, ever interrupt a Manhattan auto dudebro ‘photoshoot’* – one that’s blocking midday traffic – by taking out a bat and smashing a windshield.

NEVER. Continue reading You should never do this with a bat to a car.

So… coyotes in Manhattan.

They caught one. But that’s not the funny part. The funny part is that the coyote was then released in an ‘appropriate wilderness area in the Bronx.’ It’s not that the Bronx has no wilderness areas – it’s got tons of open space, thanks to a deliberate civic program – it’s that I’m pretty sure that none of it is particularly appropriate for coyotes.  Although the coyotes would probably disagree.  Given that they’ve spent the last century or two cheerfully moving east, using all those bridges that we so helpfully built to cross major rivers and whatnot, possibly they have a point…

PS: I kind of wanted them to release the coyote in Brooklyn so that I could have made a hipster joke.  No, it’s true, I am dead to shame.

Administration cuts and runs on NYC KSM trial.

(H/T: @andylevy) Amazing what one Senatorial election can do. Like, say, make a Presidential administration pay attention to local political concerns for a change.

The Obama administration has abandoned its plan to put Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, on trial in Lower Manhattan, according to administration officials.

The reversal marks the latest setback for an administration that has been buffeted at every turn as it seeks to close the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And without the backdrop of Ground Zero for a trial, the administration will also lose some of the rich symbolism associated with its attempt to forge a new approach to handling high-value al-Qaeda detainees.

“New York is out,” said an administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the decision had not yet been officially announced. “We’re considering other options.”

Try Gitmo. The unilateralist, simplisme cowboy put them there in the first place for a reason, you know. In fact, he actually had a reason for pretty much everything he did…

Rasmussen: 55% of New Yorkers mocked by the Online Left.

Or, as someone firmly grounded in objective reality might put it, “55% in New York Oppose Civilian Terror Trials.”

Just 35% of New York State voters agree with Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try the confessed mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks and five other suspected terrorists in a civilian court in New York City rather than before a military tribunal.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds that 55% are opposed to that decision, which is part of the Obama administration’s effort to close the terrorist prison camp at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba.

Guess we’ll be seeing a new talking point on that one from the Democrats, then. I’d offer suggestions, except that would imply that I was trying to help.
