Out of the Blue

[Jan 16, 2013, 09:38 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

We had a surprise this morning, as we got hit by a snow storm overnight. I think it was a surprise at least, I don't actually pay that much attention to the weather. The good news for me was that MrsBlue needed to get such an early start that it was impractical for me to shovel us out in the pre-dawn darkness, so she took a taxi, allowing me to get to clearing our snow in a more leisurely manner.

I don't really even care about the gun thing, but I do think Obama asking the CDC to do research into this is a good move. First off, the CDC has no stake in this, so I think we can count on them to perform an unbiased study. Second, I think the CDC will do a good job, as they're a highly scientific outfit. Once they get a result, it'll be a result that hopefully everyone can then use to guide future discussions/rage-fests/hopeless complaints, rather than the umpteen different researches done by hopelessly biased or just-plain-poor outfits done so far. The only downside I can see is that the CDC is likely going to take years to come up with an answer. Creston
