A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.

Journalists and numbers: The stereotype about numbers being to journalists like kryptonite to Superman is often true. It starts early. Case in point is this article from the Daily Illini. Ignore the predictable left-wing, anti-gun bias and focus on this paragraph:
A study done by the Violence Policy Center found that one in every five law enforcement officers was killed in the line of duty between Jan. 1, 1998, and Dec. 31, 2001.
Sounds good, but completely impossible. We'd be losing more police officers every day than they do in Iraq! (via Spoons)
