An anonymous source told AP the assailant screamed "Where's Nancy" before he attacked Paul Pelosi.
So, it's looking pretty politically-motivated.

This
could
escalate.

"Take care that you don't treat inhumanity as it treats human beings." -- Marcus Aurelius

Wise words as we consider the ramifications of an attack on the spouse of a political leader.

Retaliation will trigger an ugly period in US culture.

We just drove over to the scene of the crime. Lots of TV crews.

Pelosi's husband assaulted in his home last night with a hammer!
FUCK!
They live less than a mile from me.
They go to my church.
This is my neighborhood.

This could start a terrible war if retaliation.

Whatever could be known
Should be known.

If a procedure can be standardized, it should be standardized.

Whooopsie!

Back to familiar settings. (aka: Home office)

I really enjoy traveling - but for just a short while.

One week in Paris was enough for satisfaction.
But that city deserves a lot more trips.

Back to the grindstone!

And I just made it home!
Successful trip!
Yet, I'm still wheezing from running through the airport this morning.

Am I supposed to be mad when my 9am flight is rebooked to 6:40am at 9:48pm last night?
Oh, and it's my connection to catch my flight home from Europe.
No bitterness here. No, no, no...
(but I made it!)

Holy sh$#@!!
That protest was 120k people and was international news!
I actually missed it while exploring the neighborhood.
But, there sure were a lot of people walking around the Marais and clogging up the cafes.
