I was biking through the back of Fort Boise and spotted these four deer…and got a photo off. I think my older Blackberry Curve 8530 did pretty well here.

Letter to the Editor (Idaho Statesman):
I think Romney showed a lack of character exploiting the consulate tragedy in Libya for the sake of politics. Now not only are we grieving for our heros killed, but we’re left to bicker over some fringe group’s media attack on Islam–politically timed–that provoked the whole thing. “Here’s what happened: in response to a clearly offensive amateur film defamed Islam, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo condemned efforts “to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.” Then in a misguided attempt to exploit the Libel tragedy, Rooney falsely attributed this statement to the White House, falsely claimed it was an apology, and falsely identified it as a response to the attacks, even though it was made before the attacks.” So in tragedy what does Rodney do? Rather than help console the families and unite a nation in grief he instead foments confusion to get a lucky punch in politically. He accuses the president of “sympathize with the murderers and apologizing for American values”–based on a statement never made. Which only makes matters worse. Much worse. Look at the opportunism of this man who wants to be president–and not necessarily “our” president–just president.

I’m concerned it could be taken as a subtle public invitation of violence towards our President–by the depiction a smug looking gunner next to the image of the President of the United States–and that perhaps the Secret Service should be notified of the possible suggestion. Over-the-top hyperbole can often appeal to the crazy as a signal of encouragement, and I think this unfortunate fact needs to be considered here. We’ve already just had one nut from Idaho shoot at the White House; so, in light of that alone, I think we ought to exercise some caution with our extremists. And, as for giving the 1st Amendment carte blanc to saying anything, remember that it stops at “yelling fire in a theater…”

I stopped by only long enough to have a coffee and chorizo. It was really hot, though–with sweat pouring down my face–but what a great get-together! Out of six pics this was the nicest. It was the one that cost me the coffee (plus $3 tip) but was worth it for the best view of everything. Boy howdy, I’ve got to hand it to the Basque, they really do bring a lot of class with their events. I could almost imagine I was somewhere in Europe…or Spain!
