Apropos of ethics charges, Waters and Rangel aren’t the only ones feeling the heat: “At one point earlier this year, all eight lawmakers under formal investigation by the House ethics committee, including Rangel and Waters, were black Democrats.”

Another case of vehicular homicide, this time in Virginia, on the part of an illegal alien “who had somehow obtained a driving license”: ” . . . police are investigating how he was able to obtain a driver’s license, which was later revoked after being convicted of drunken driving.
Police have charged Martinelly with driving drunk and involuntary manslaughter in the Sunday morning crash along Bristow Road that killed one Benedictine sister and injured two others.”

rickl #3 asks about fully automatic weapons in AZ. Here is a link to the home page of the gun blog that is part of the Exurban League blog (a group of AZ guys).

(Scroll down for the item I posted a few days ago about AZ’s new concealed-carry law– no govt. permission needed to carry a concealed defensive firearm). The folks who post there would certainly have the latest info, on automatic weapons.
Oh, and it looks like another presidential promise has reached its expiration date: “An Arizona National Guard spokesman said troops will not begin bolstering security along the Arizona border this Sunday, despite what was announced by the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense 10 days ago.
‘We won’t have any units deployed by August 1,’ said Lt. Valentine Castillo, a public-affairs officer. ‘We don’t yet know when troops will actually arrive.’”
As the blogger who posted this news item says, “Anarchy reigns along the border with Mexico, and Obama’s solution is to head to vacations in Maine, Florida and Spain.”
