SO I SHOT IN A GSSF SHOOTING COMPETITION TODAY, with premier gunblogger SayUncle. I shot a Glock 21sf, .45 caliber, which put me in the “Heavy Metal” division. Loads of fun and I shot pretty well . . . for a law professor.

Here’s a video clip of me shooting at one of the stations.

WISCONSIN: Last minute smear job: Dems claim Scott Walker fathered ‘love child’ 24 years ago; Update: Debunked by reporter.

HEY, RUBE!

The left was mostly raptured into political heaven four years ago when they elected Obama on bended knee. He spoke about things dear to their hearts: closing Guantanamo Bay. Ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Getting tough on bankers.

Guantanamo is still open. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are winding down, but the military presence remains. (Smacks of imperialism. That’s something the left hates as much as libertarians do.) Then there’s the president’s bit about getting tough on bankers. Where has the White House come down hard on Wall Street? Fuhgeddaboudit. This is New York!

MORE SECRET SERVICE PROBLEMS: Driver in road rage ID’d as Secret Service agent.

The license plate on a black Dodge Charger recorded speeding erratically on Interstate 77 in Charlotte and using blue lights to pull over a vehicle was assigned to a Secret Service agent, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Secret Service agency.

Special Agent in Charge, Russ Nelson, of the Secret Service office in Charlotte said, “The employee was working on duty in an official capacity in a US Secret Service vehicle at the time of the incident.”

Nelson said they’re investigating the incident and have placed the agent on paid leave until the issue is resolved.

Really, I’m beginning to have doubts about their professionalism. But three cheers for cellphone video. But why don’t we know the agent’s name?
