Mean Streets By Jayson Javitz on Justice Wizbang <<< Homicides Jump 20% This Year, increase blamed on drugs, street violence Drug-related slayings and spontaneous street violence accounted for a 20 percent jump in homicides so far this year, authorities said late Tuesday. 'We have a lot more spontaneous violence, we have had a lot more knife violence and we have had an increase in family and drug violence,' said Lt. John Murphy, head of the police homicide detail. >>> Pretty grim, huh? Unfortunately that's the grim reality over in the liberal paradise of San Francisco, California.

Oh, right, my bad. Misery loves company. feeds.wizbangblog.com sfgate.com

"My understanding is at this juncture they're going to take August off, but, you know, they may change their minds," White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "You know, it's 130 degrees in Baghdad in August," he said, sympathetically. Snow was reminded that U.S. troops will be continuing to fight throughout August in the heat. "You know, that's a good point," Snow said."
