"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Samuel Adams

Another Clinton curiosity


Hillary in the debate Tuesday night on the Tran-Pacific Partnership trade deal: “It was just finally negotiated last week, and in looking at it, it didn't meet my standards—my standards for more new, good jobs for Americans.” 

I wonder how she got to look at it. None of us can. Even Senators can only see it down in the bowels of the Capitol and have to promise not to talk about the details. Hmmmm. Hope someone asks her.

The power of a protective policy


Official Umpqua Community College policy statement: “Possession, use, or threatened use of firearms (including but not limited to BB guns, air guns, water pistols, and paint guns) ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, or any other objects as weapons on college property, except as expressly authorized by law or college regulations, is prohibited.”

I guess Christopher Mercer wasn't aware of this policy.
