Once again the routine continues this early Monday on California’s north coast — thick-overcast, chilly and gray.
According to the NWS, however, we’re supposed to go from ‘mostly cloudy’ today, to ‘mostly sunny’ tomorrow, and maybe sunshine uninterrupted through next week. Maybe does mean perhaps…

Big news spotlight this morning is the crazy shit down in Garland, Texas, where making hateful-funny, got deadly, asshole-serious.
A public contest for best cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad got two gunman killed after they opened weapons fire outside what had been dubbed a “free speech” event.

Bullshit, and everybody concerned knows it. What mental facilities are required to create and then hold a contest, knowing and fully understanding that said-contest would be way-offensive to a shitload of people? Hate-bait brains, of course.
The deal was organized by the American Freedom Defense Initiative — considered an anti-Muslim group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.
And the result is really in the source…
Via CNN this morning on the ID of one of the shooters: ‘Elton Simpson is thought to have sent a tweet before the attack that read, in part, “May Allah accept us as mujahideen,” the source said. It bore the hashtag, #texasattack.”‘

Event organizers knew what to expect, however. There was a load of off-duty police on hand as extra security — one of the guards was slightly wounded — and a SWAT team waiting behind the building. Garland police spokesman Joe Harn: ‘“We were prepared for something like this.”‘

Crazy just makes more crazy…
