The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Samurai Delicatessen, Jersey-guy style
John Pontolillo is a student at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He grew up in Monmouth County New Jersey and along the way he picked up some real Jersey-guy attitude. A rash of burglaries in his neighborhood, including one earlier in the week at his own house, heightened his awareness of things that go bump in the night. So at 1:20 AM when he heard a noise in his garage he went downstairs to investigate.
Expecting trouble Mr. Pontolillo armed himself with a samurai sword. He confronted an intruder in the garage, asked him what he was doing there, and threatened to call the police.
The intruder's left hand was nearly severed -- Guglielmi described it as "hanging on by a thread" -- and the man suffered a severe cut to the upper body. The 49-year-old suspect, whom police described as a habitual offender, died at the scene.
Talk about your slice and dice! I guess the criminal got the point, eh? Sign John Pontolillo up for a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live's Samurai Delicatessen!
OK, on a more serious note, the Baltimore police took Mr. Pontolillo into custody. For what? Defending himself and his home? You can bet that the liberal hand-wringing has already begun. How long will it be until some ass-clown calls for government regulation of samurai swords? Will Jon Corzine suggest a "one sword a month" limit?
He's since been released, but a police spokesman said it would be "up to the state's attorney's office to decide" if he would be charged. It is legal to own a samurai sword in Baltimore (a city with even more restrictive gun control laws than New Jersey). According to them it "depends" on whether or not Mr. Pontolillo was "the agressor". The aggressor? WTF? A guy with 29 prior felony convvictions broke into his home days after being released from prison. The criminal got what he deserved.
Prosecute him? They should pin a medal on him.
There's a new sheriff in town, down from China Grove.
