This obviously isn't happening.

I never thought I'd be accusing Fox News of falling for a practical joke, but I must today. You see, they're claiming that Illinois (Land of Capone) lawmakers are pleading that the National Guard be deployed to help the crime rate in Chicago.

This obviously can't be true, as Chicago has banned private ownership of handguns since 1976. There are obviously no handguns there to fuel gang violence, so obviously reports of hundreds of gang related handgun murders there must be false, just like in DC.

Just ask Kal Penn. Nobody is victimized by criminals with handguns in gun free zones. Right? Right?

Oh.

Reading the article, I'm also pretty tickled that Mr. Highminded Political Servant Who Ditched Hollywood So Fast They Had To Kill Off His Character Suddenly is going back to make more movies in a completely mindless, cheesy, politically incorrect (and I presume vulgar and profane, though I've not seen any of them) series.

You must have fallen for the same hoax Fox fell for. He went back to Hollyweird to pursue true, inspirational art....that just happens to involve sophomoric portrayals of drug use, no real plot, no real acting ability.....

Or something like that.

Oh, Bert, of course you're right! Thanks for setting me straight -- how could I be so silly! An Obamaite chucking public service for the crassest form of financial gain couldn't be happening, therefore it isn't!

That would be a double plus good way to understand it, Pentamom.
