Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) – Two paramedics sit in their broken down ambulance as shots ring out all around them. The video they recorded while waiting to be rescued is raising questions about the City of Detroit’s promise to fix problems with its emergency service.

Play the video in the player to see the video taken by paramedic Wisam Zeineh and to hear the sounds of almost constant gunfire as he and his partner sit in their broken down rig.

Charlie LeDuff raises the question: Where’s the money to fix the broken down ambulances?

These guys waited for an HOUR, unarmed, to be rescued, as constant gunfire, some of it from automatic weapons, rang around them. If I lived in one of these neighborhoods, there is NO WAY I would be unarmed. NO WAY. I’m unable to embed the video here (sorry!), but I highly recommend viewing it here.

Gun control advocates: These aren’t legal guns you are hearing. Why do you want to take away guns from law-abiding citizens? Would YOU like to wait an hour for assistance, unarmed, while you feared for your life?

I’m in the mood for a quiz today. While I look for a new one, and since we have spent a few more months analyzing Middle Eastern events, here is the geography quiz for the third time (originally posted by SD). Let’s see how we do this time!!

Here is a fun site with a lesson in pertinent geography that I think you will enjoy. Either that or it’ll frustrate the dickens out of you. But don’t be embarassed or shy. Give it a try and see how much you have captured from recent events. 🙂

Then share how you did. There are no scores or grades just the sheer fun of knowledge. Everyone is an honor student here. (oh yeah, and Mr. SmartyPants “The All Frilliant” ZurichMike no need)

 I’m not claiming that the United States and Switzerland are alike in any way – Switzerland is a much smaller country, for example – but I have always wondered how gun policies in this small European country work so well for them, and how the policies are related to gun crime statistics.

In my search, I ran across the following article, written in 1999, from the Wall Street Journal Europe. (more…)
