Comments on: Observational Bias in Mass-Shooting Stories http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/7100.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

Liked this post in particular, and thought that others who took an interest in it would also be interested in an oped I wrote (with 3 other TX college profs) in support of concealed carry on college campuses. A bill to that effect is winding its way through the TX legislature.

This story shows the absurdity of allowing liberals to control the flow of information. Obama needs this control and may have to prop up the Boston Globe, NYT and others that routinely parrot His words. Words mean things and in this case, people are alive because they took action and didn't try to solve the problem with 'words.' Obama uses words to great effect. Unfortunately, he has overused several - like 'inherited' and 'dialogue.' For a lighter look at some of Obama's other overused words, you can hit: http://firstconservative.com/blog/top-ten/obamas-words-or-obamawords Nice Catch!
