There will be more of this


BALTIMORE — Police said a 58-year-old man stabbed his teenage son after he
refused to take off his hat at church earlier in the day. The father and his
19-year-old son got into an argument on Sunday afternoon. That's when police
said the father went to a car, got a knife and stabbed his son in the left
buttock and fled.
The son was taken to University of Maryland Medical Center
for treatment. The father's name was withheld pending his arrest.


I like the "and fled." "I'm gonna stab that little so-and-so in the glute and scram!"

Where is the father right now, do you think? Feeling remorseful or somewhere, in a safe house of like-minded citizenry, safely hidden for taking a firm stand against hats in church?

I went to a funeral home Sunday afternoon (o.d.) and a bunch of the kids (many of whom reeked of reefer) were wearing their "good" fitted caps. It was all very "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" by Boyz II Men, but not in a good way. It's 2009, for God's sake.
