especially on something that makes a leftist look bad.
From Michelle Malkin, more on the matter.
And more of the crap involved; sooner or later someone will get killed by this, I wonder if it'll be considered newsworthy then? And I have to wonder about the apparently lack of interest in investigating Patterico ran into; do the LE agencies involved not have a problem with being used this way? Have they not considered the blowback on them if someone gets killed?
Remember the stink about Google sucking up personal data? More to the story, which doesn't look good for Google.
Clown named Chris Hayes on MSNBC doesn't like the word 'hero' applied to troops; unless, of course, they're the right kind of troops:
Commenter chemjeff points out that this whiny little MSDNC pussy was not the least bit uncomfortable using the phrase "war hero" to describe John F'n Kerry.
In my neck of artisanal, hormone-free Brooklyn, the latest CBS News/New York Times poll, which shows Mitt Scissorhands leading “The First Gay President” by three points, landed with a nasty thud. “I can’t believe he might lose,” my wife said when she spotted the offending numbers on the Web. “People are really willing to vote for Mitt Romney? They hate Obama so much they’d vote for Romney?”
This is the kind of mindset that amazes me: "The only reason they'd vote for Romney is they hate Obama." They apparently cannot or will not understand that a lot of people oppose Obama on the matters at hand, that they actually disagree with him and what he wants to do.
I guess that includes all those racists suddenly turning up in the Democrat Party.
To the people running gun shows in Oklahoma City:
What the hell is wrong with you?
The show this weekend was charging $14 for admission. And yeah, the building was 'full', but it was 'full' because the spacing of the lanes was wide enough to spread things out. The big Tulsa show is $10 for a ticket, and the place is REALLY full.
And a lot of the smaller shows are asking $12, and often the building used is far less than full; I've seen a lot of people get to the door, look around, and walk out. I've done it myself, and will probably do it again in the future the way these shows are going.

Well, IIRC in this case it was determined to be an anonymized VOIP call using various proxies, licit or illicit.
In practical terms that means the chance of being able to "trace" it to the originator rounds to zero, so I don't really blame them for not Trying Really Hard To Make A Show Of Trying.
Sigivald: OTOH, Patterico claims to have identified the caller just by voice, and that the cops won't even try to follow that up. I doubt you could prove a voice match beyond reasonable doubt, but I'd think it would be sufficient cause for the cops to *talk* to the guy, and to check pen registers (if VOIP leaves any such records of the call time and duration).
Or perhaps the cops already know from experience that such inquiries go nowhere - and in that case, one really has to wonder about a policy of calling out the SWAT team based only on a call that can't be traced.
