Double secret qualified immunity

This is scary:

The D.C. police chief’s new five-year contract explicitly states that she is protected from civil and criminal lawsuits and drops a paragraph about collective bargaining at the center of a lawsuit brought by the Fraternal Order of Police.

Including an indemnification clause, which means Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy L. Lanier cannot be held liable for actions done on the job, is standard practice in contracts for police chiefs and other government officials, said Leonard A. Matarese, a public safety expert with the International City/County Management Association.

Mo’ bigotry

Bill, the bigot I mentioned earlier, apparently took to googling his name and decided to leave a comment that makes no sense.

Lies the Tennessean tells

The Violence Policy Center is not a public safety research and advocacy organization. They are entirely a gun control group. And they’re only effective at getting grants from Joyce.

Facebook IPO

It’s happening and a company that produces little has a lot of damn money. Also, one executive has renounced his citizenship to avoid taxes. Reap, sow. Anyway, we can’t have people going Galt so there ought to be a law: Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has a status update for Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin: Stop attempting to dodge your taxes by renouncing your U.S. citizenship or never come to back to the U.S. again.

Update: What’s next, fences?

Verizon to end unlimited data plan. They let people keep theirs even if you switch from 3G to 4G. Now, switching will mean you lose unlimited. So, go upgrade now.

In phone news

One of the things I never cared for about the iPhone was screen size. There’s a whole lot of phone there and not enough screen. Looks like Apple has ordered larger 4 inch screens and 7 inch screens. I’m assuming for a larger iPhone or one that has more efficient use of the space on the front. And a 7 inch iPad. I like the iPads but thought they were a bit too big for what I’d mostly use it for. And I like the Kindle Fire for that stuff. A smaller iPad would be pretty cool.

A look at bad gun shop employee habits: Please Sir, Take My Money In Exchange For This Firearm

Never working, can’t comment on the first. But having bought plenty of guns, I hate when I’m obviously interested in something and the employees are chatting amongst themselves about whatever just came in the shop. I used to wait. Now, I just leave.

Expanding health care coverage

So, the Obama administration mandates that insurance covers abortions and contraceptives. And they increased coverage to $100K. So, a Catholic school drops all student insurance.

Shocking.

Via PopeHat, and I apparently wasn’t told it was blog like instapundit day.
