Local Talk Radio mavens are happy: For weeks (months) they’ve been howling with rage because our local police force hadn’t arrested someone for slashing some Republican tires on election eve. Even though no evidence whatsoever was brought forward in support of the claim, it was trumpeted as Siginificant Vote Tampering, rather than simple vandalism.

One could ask where the voices of outrage were over the failure to make arrests for the dozens of rapes and other serious crimes that went unsolved. If mentioned at all, they didn’t get even 10% of the airtime that this vandalism got. For that matter (to compare apples to apples) what about all the slashed tires that happened in the wake of the 100th Harley celebration? Guess it only matters when the victims are Republicans.
