Over 1 million bank workers in India are on strike today. They're protesting the outsourcing of their jobs.
My head just exploded.

Aside from the irony of it,
Aside from the irony of it, another reason my head exploded is that those million bank workers are all unionized and therefore can strike over the issue. With only 8% of the private-sector US labor force being represented by unions, the ability to stop outsourcing is no longer within our grasp.

Important distinction: There
Important distinction: There is a long-term open insurrection in Chiapas the bordering Mexican state with Guatemala. The policies have to do with the general suppression of Mayan culture and political rights, not illegal immigration. There is no meaningful 600 mile fence on the Guatemalan border. There is strict and, in many cases, inhumane practices to prevent easy movement across that border. These movements, in the eyes of Mexican government officials, aid that insurrection. The border issues there are quite different than ours. Equating them, glibly as usual, show your lack of understanding of the issues.
I suggest June C. Nash's Mayan Visions as an excellent primer.

You are willfully and
You are willfully and intentionally misrepresenting the image in that thread. It was a Photoshop job done by national blogger Billmon, who could hardly help but notice Corker's difficulty with a certain political advertisement, given that it ran on CNN and other national outlets every five minutes with commentary all day for about a week.
I personally made no comment about it, only linked to the image with the heading "Billmon's take on Corker." Since you have no problem with Instapundit linking to outside sources or images, I hardly see how you can criticize me for it. I noticed your buddy Roger Abramson was trying to get some traction out of this, so I suspect that has something to do with your motives.
The KKK image was forwarded to me via email. I wish I could get on Billmon's weblog to see what he had to say about it, but as of last night his server was timing out. So, unfortunately, that means you can't put his words in my mouth, either.

Yeah, since your own observations are always so cuttingly accurate. Whatever.
Actually, on edit - It makes perfect sense you'd pretend not to know what Billmon, Chris Matthews, and others are getting at. Must be a real problem for your guys that Ford is getting a national wave of support, most likely with contributions. Good luck raising that money to avoid Corker triggering the millionaire's clause - cause Ford can match you dollar for dollar, and you know it.

Show me a statistic that
Show me a statistic that shows a correlation between lower crime rates and gun ownership. Please inculde the R^2 of the study. You can't do it. You can see a correlation between tougher gun law enforcement as a component of a model drop in crime. New York City.
Then there is that belief that carrying lowers crime rates. Nope.
See attached. I am sure your gun club magazines and Soldier of Fortune are peer reviewed. Read carefully.

'Show me a statistic that shows a correlation between lower crime rates and gun ownership.'
I've never asserted such a statistic existed. And my stance has always been that gun laws largely don't affect crime.
I will read the study but that's not the one you mentioned before. So, let's have it?
'I am sure your gun club magazines and Soldier of Fortune are peer reviewed.'
I don't read either. I get my data from the DOJ, NIJ, and CDC.

'And there is the Lott-Mustard study which the pdf you downloaded cites and refutes.'
Yah, everyone knows that. There's this guy named Lambert who follows lott as well. And, what the study you just linked concludes, is that the impact of CCW laws smaller when compared to Lott's study and aren't consistent across types of crime. So, nothing new to me there.
'Your stance is that carrying affects crime which is a legal state of affairs.'
It is? Wow! I can just make up my opponent's stance in a debate. Your stance is:

Can someone explain to me
Can someone explain to me how a post about bankers striking in India because their jobs are being outsourced is now about concealed carry permits and crime rates?
It's a restaurant review in disguise
Simple, SKB: since all those people in India are losing their jobs, crime will go up, and therefore there will be a higher demand for concealed-carry permits.
Please do try to keep up.

Err, right. You are really quite delusional, i mean, in between making up studies and getting your material from others?

Indeed. Consider me withdrawn. But one more thing:
"Maybe y'all ought to bury the hatchet on whatever it was."
I'd be happy too if he just produced the study. I'd never mention it again. But he can't. I just like to bring it up whenever he's feeling all delusionally holier than thou.
