The broader Thugocracy ...

This is sad - but it is what I see more and more of; and it will get worse as we go towards 2010 and 2012. The Left has decided that to win, it must win ugly. This is the third-order effect of that choice.

We will all soon, if we don't already, have stories like Penn's.

From Crackle: Getting Yelled At by One of My Heroes

The American mind is closing from the Left. Don't take it in silence. Speech and more speech. Opinion and more opinion. Talk and more talk.

I feel sorry for Penn; mostly because he is right.
