Things Are Getting Dangerous
We're sitting on a powder keg.
Louisville police closed streets and set up barricades to help separate members of the NFAC (Not F***ing Around Coalition), an Atlanta-based Black militia, from those of far-right "Three Percenter" militia groups vowing to show up in response.
At least 100 NFAC members lined up in a park a few blocks from downtown before marching to a protest where Black Lives Matter activists and the Three Percenters were being separated by a police barricade of about 40 officers in riot gear.

Hell Freezes Over
I agree with Pat Toomey on something.
The freshman Republican said it was not clear to him what U.S. interest was being served by the attacks and said that while he was not a defender of the Libyan strongman, he was "not the only despicable character" on the international scene.
I suspect Toomey's questioning of policy has more to do with the President being a Democrat than any principled opposition to the use of force to enact regime change, for the simple reason that I can't recall Pat getting worked up over the Iraq invasion.

Is This Really A Good Idea?
While few things would make me happier than to see Gaddafi go the way of Mubarek, is it really a good idea to get involved in yet another war?
