I love this:

"I'm a member of the NRA and a firm supporter of the NRA in most instances," said Col. Greg Phares, chief criminal deputy for the Sheriff's Office. "But in this instance, I had to balance the responsibility of the Sheriff's Office with constitutional rights," Phares added. "I think it's the right decision. It wasn't a comfortable decision, but it is right."

I'd like to point out that this trailer park is about ten minutes from where I live. I drove by there the other day. Absolutely desolate. I want to stop and take pictures, but I've been warned against that.

Oh, and I also want to say that the New Orleans portraits in this month's "Vanity Fair" are beautiful and heartbreaking.

"I'm a dick, not a cop, Tater!"

all disagreements will be settled via legwrestling.

I want to stop and take pictures, but I've been warned against that.

By whom and why? You can do anything you want from a public road. Call the ACLU.





And they'll send you a fundraising letter....

Well, not warned as in, "Take his camera and smash it, for we live in a police state!" but warned as in, "You know, we haven't taken their guns away yet, so you might not want to put your Canon up in their faces."

I'm going to go by this weekend and see if I can do any volunteer work there. If I can, I'll bring my camera and take some shots.
