An op-ed in yesterday's Hartford Courant by David Medina proved once again that I'm far too sane to get a job as an editorial writer at a newspaper.

Medina's article is a call to ban stun guns. Fair enough. That's certainly a position that is debateable and not outside the mainstream of public opinion.

I mentioned in the article below that Carter's comment was the second-dumbest thing I'd read yesterday. This is the first:

Studies confirm that they do help to dramatically reduce police injuries and cops will embrace anything that improves their odds of making it to those fat retirement pensions without a scratch.

My response to this is that David Medina needs to be kicked where it hurts the most -- repeatedly.

I've mentioned this before, but a friend of mine is raising her son without a father because a whacked out illegal alien murdered her husband, a cop. And Medina sits there in his air-conditioned office -- a jackass on his high horse -- telling cops to suck it up and get shot, stabbed or maimed because he doesn't like stun guns.

Frankly, I can't believe Medina's slam got past his editor -- obviously I'm over qualified for an editorial page editor's job too.
