    One of my old high school classmates was ranting about how his son's high school was not going to punish any kids who walked out. He didn't like it when I reminded him that he was one of the organizers of our Senior Skip Day back in 1986.

    You should have thought about that before you gave away all the money to pay for it.

    I'm not sure that Teddy was talking about the bravery of porn stars, but what the hell. Her lawyer is pretty damn good at keeping it in the headlines and the pressure on Trump, though.

    Something to mull over until April 6 when the long-running SJ.com hit play, "Guns Are So Fucking Awesome," returns to the stage:

    Indiana 'red flag' law could become national model

    According to court records, the law was used at least 46 times last year in Indiana to take firearms from dangerous individuals. The exact number is unknown since not all Indiana counties use the statewide court-case management system.

    Indiana’s “red flag” law allowed Lake County Sheriff’s police to seize weapons from a Crown Point area man’s home this past January, said Cmdr. Michael Stewart, head of investigations.

    The man’s wife called 911 after her husband, who takes psychiatric medications for mental illness, locked himself in a bathroom and was having delusions that people were hiding in the home's attic, Stewart said.

    Police were able to safely calm the man that day. Radio dispatch had relayed to police the man had firearms in the home — a key fact Stewart recalled when they were sent to the home the next morning a second time for a similar disturbance.

    “I just happened to be on the radio (that morning) and I told them, ‘Make sure you confiscate the handguns,' ” Stewart said.

    “Criminal charges were not appropriate here,” Stewart said. “But we were able to confiscate the guns because the statute gives the immediate power without the delay of having to get a search warrant or secure criminal charges.”

    To qualify as dangerous, a person must present an imminent risk of personal injury to themselves or another individual, the law says.

    Conor Lamb's Pennsylvania 18th Congressional District Win Matters and Paul Ryan Should Be Scared

    "This was the last gasp of 10 years of successful electoral chicanery in Pennsylvania, and the Republicans couldn’t boot their candidate home even with $10 million pumped into the district from the national party and from its vast reservoir of PACs and dark money. They couldn’t organize it. They couldn’t buy it. And they couldn’t steal it. That pretty much eliminates all possible ways Republicans generally win elections these days, and bringing in the president* for a last-ditch manic episode didn’t work, either. Not even the crazy was enough."

    Not fully, yet.

    "But Obama said the country has 57 states."

    Okay, now we have.
