A correspondent from Indiana who will be be known hereafter as "the lady with the funny black dogs" has checked in with some news about how the plain folks of that state are reacting to the AR agenda.
"The Pit Bull hearing in Anderson was very interesting ... It was quite clear that WWIII was going to break out in that town if the designer- coiffed city attorney even continued to entertain any idea about banning or
otherwise controlling those dogs ... and I am speaking in terms of armed dog owners.
"Indiana cities have an interesting history ... all the of towns within certain geographic areas were "factory towns" mostly inhabited by displaced farmers and bootleggers from Kentucky and Tennessee who migrated north during the 20s and 30s to find work ... I wouldn't want to walk into the wrong neighborhood and try to take away anything "they" don't want to give up.
"If we were talking face to face, I'd tell you exactly what I saw going on in that meeting ... there were lots of signals exchanged there ... very interesting. The proposed bill was finally withdrawn (a county sheriff and a high ranking police officer both testifed for the "Pit Bull" owners) ... the message I got was - we're going to let you clean your own houses. If there is a drug dealer or a gang member in your neighborhood who is misusing a pit bull, you should help to educate him.
"I don't believe they meant the offender should be met with printed literature from the APBT [ American Pit Bull Terrier--SB] club.

Santorum's office on the East Coast, and the Hollywood fly-by-nights on the West Coast, but I think they're in big trouble when they try to move "inland" ..."
What she said. I will have more of her insights later.

My friend Kenny:
"...is not a postmodern male. He's a boilermaker and a body artist, a hard-edged Carl Sandburg character from Gary, Indiana. Whatever phase shift in the long, martial history of mankind rendered most of us equivocal and uncertain passed him over. Ken is that one in one hundred men born to keep the species strong..."
This post reminds me of him. Ken would jump in front of a train to save your life if he liked you.
But I would not try to take his dog away from him.
