I find the situation saddest in how overly and overtly dedicated the right is in being wrong on this, how the idiocy will harm blameless businesses, and how that idiocy will blame that on Obama.

Very much. That should be an international incident and the National Guard...should have been called out immediately.</i><br /><br />If you're talking about Robert Krentz, there <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/04/02/20100402arizona-rancher-likely-killed-by-drug-cartel-scout02-ON.html#ixzz0sNOvlgZt" rel="nofollow">never was any credible evidence he was killed by drug runners</a>:<br /><br /><i>Carol Capas, a spokeswoman for the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, said homicide investigators have no information about the killer or a motive in the slaying of Robert Krentz, 58, a prominent cattleman who was gunned down the morning of March 27 on his ranch northeast of Douglas.</i><br /><br />That claim was made and spread by supporters of the not-yet-passed Arizona antiimmigrant law, trying to whip up a furor.<br /><br />As it turns out <a href="http://azstarnet.com/news/local/border/article_35ef6e3a-5632-5e58-abe7-e7697ee2f0d5.html" rel="nofollow">there is now a likely suspect</a>:<br /><br /><i>The killing of a Southern Arizona rancher that sparked an outcry to secure the border was not random, and investigators are focusing on a suspect in the United States, the Arizona Daily Star has learned.<br /><br />High-ranking government officials with credible information spoke to the Star, citing a desire to quell the fury over illegal immigration and drug smuggling set off by the shooting death of longtime rancher Robert Krentz on March 27.<br /><br />They said Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever is investigating a person in the United States, not in Mexico, in connection with the shooting.</i><br /><br />That announcement didn't garner national news headlines like the first one, did it? "Not random" is the key bit. My friends in Arizona who know people tell me the suspect is someone Krentz was familiar with, and about whom he wasn't apprehensive. As with most murders, it is looking like this was personal.<br /><br />The story is well worth keeping an eye on, lots of political/psychological/sociological tangle to unpack as more details emerge. Meantime, let's not spread the "Killer Cartels are Coming to Kill You" meme where it doesn't apply.<br /><br />Oh and, great graphic. Your photoshopping has always been inspired and now your technique is catching up, a pleasure to watch and admire as you develop.Graham Firchlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836327586888512157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-59807355162960026332010-06-28T18:54:23.210-05:002010-06-28T18:54:23.210-05:00Blue Gal,

Why you don't have the access to the airwaves that Spawn of Cheney has?<br /><br />Oh yeah, that: you think for yourself and take no prisoners and are a real original with a big heart and genuine wit. Also, not son or daughter of Tim Russert or Dick Cheney.<br /><br />But please keep it up, though your efforts seining the internets bring home mostly empty nets and thin gruel. Though you and your little ones ain't getting fat, we *nos otros* depend upon your insight, humor and courage more than you probably know.<br /><br />Thank you.John Sundmanhttp://www.wetmachine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-17657690796245770942010-06-27T23:03:13.927-05:002010-06-27T23:03:13.927-05:00I think we've progressed beyond 'meanie...I think we've progressed beyond 'meanie' here.<br /><br />;>)darkblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584075324283109495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-56787866754894421172010-06-27T15:17:56.723-05:002010-06-27T15:17:56.723-05:00It takes real talent to make Governor Brewer look ...It takes real talent to make Governor Brewer look more hideous than she actually does.Fearguthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424358658004747702noreply@blogger.com
