Season Of The Crazy

The kooks seem to be getting their crazy on these days. First, this:

A man fatally shot an anti-abortion activist near a Michigan high school Friday, drove to a gravel pit and shot its owner to death and planned to kill a third man, but was arrested before he could act, a prosecutor said.

Harlan James Drake, 33, was charged Friday with first-degree murder in the deaths of James Pouillon, 63, and Mike Fuoss, 61, said Shiawassee County Prosecutor Randy Colbry.

"The defendant had ill will toward these three individuals - not for the same reason necessarily, but had a grudge," Colbry said.

I'd say he had more than that. Then there's this:

A FreedomWorks staffer told ABC News that the organization's offices at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue were evacuated on Friday afternoon by DC Metro Police because of a bomb scare.

DC Metro police has confirmed to ABC News' Jason Ryan that the DC Metro police had, indeed, evacuated the organization's offices after being told by the organization that it had received a bomb threat.

The threat came when a man called the FreedomWorks main line and told the organization's female receptionist: "I put a bomb in your building, bitch."

The FreedomWorks staffer who spoke with ABC News said that the organization has received multiple threats but that for some reason, the DC Metro police thought that this one was credible enough to evacuate the building.

Add this to the lunacy from the right over birth certificates and the spectacle of a Congresscritter heckling the President during a joint session of Congress, and it makes me wonder if Pat Buchanan is having a "Broken clock" moment. It certainly doesn't bode well for the future state of discourse in this country, and we all know what happened the last time it deteriorated so badly.
