Links on Wednesday Night

Once again, I've held onto these links for a few days too long without putting them out here.

Interested in getting your Concealed Handgun License? Here's a Lewisville outfit with classes every Saturday. Bonus: Ammunition cost included.

Man passes out from heat at local cement plant.


Here we go off the cliff.

Markos has these letters from a paranoid and insane jew-hating idiot, and they're really quite entertaining to read - especially the bigot's petition to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, whom he for some reason thinks will be sympathetic.

Want to be in a music video for the metal band "The Browning"? They're shooting this Saturday in Lewisville and need extras.

Public perception of the scientific process versus reality of the scientific process.

Matt Damon lays into one lazy perception of the teaching profession:

(By the way: What the hell is with the person on the right sticking their little flip cam into the shot during this interview? Have some courtesy, and stay out of the shot.)

A sorry excuse for a mother punched her two year old child in the mouth, and fellow passengers on the bus did the right thing.
