ORANGE COUNTY, California (CNN) -- Radical Hispanic separatist
organization MEChA ("Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan") is
taking responsibility for setting the wildfires in California,
confimed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

California officials received a letter earlier today containing
photographs of individuals holding Molotov cocktails, then throwing
them into dry brush. The faces of the individuals appeared to have
been digitally distorted.

Also included was a rambling manifesto, stating that the reason for
the act of arson was that "Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, the
Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán. We are sovereign and not subject to a
foreign culture."

Oh no. :-) That was as good as the NPR April Fool's prank a few years back,
about Starbucks' plan to build a coffee bean pipeline to the East cost.

Those NPR things used to be funnier. Lately (the past 6-10 years),
they are just silly. I can't remember any particulars. Do you know a
place on NPR.COM where they have all of them, year by year?

No, but maybe there's a way to search by date. April 1 would be a starting
point.

Notice that the site is a bogus one? As Darth Vader would have voiced

Nevertheless, given the apparent intelligence of some CNN newscasters
(or perhaps their regular viewers) I would not be overly surprised to
hear that this one slipped through.

One of them remarked---after reporting that a distraught and deranged
deputy sheriff had tried three times to commit suicide by shooting
himself in the head---that it was the third shot that was fatal. That
was the only hour of CNN I have seen in many years, but I won't be
watching again any time soon.

Actually, it might be more true than you think, although I don't understand
why. More than once on our local news, I've heard about people who've been
shot in the face, followed by "...injuries were not life threatening."
Pardon me?

They don't report the fatal cases.

I have patients all the time who try to "off" themselves by shooting
themselves in the head,temples, mouth,under the chin...whatever. Very
frequently they're under the influence of drugs or alcohol (or they're
just plain lousy shots) but for whatever reason they do a rotten job of
it and we'll put 'em together again for the next attempt.
One recent guy just took his optic nerve out yet wasn't disfigured.
Another this week blew his jaw and cheek off, but his brain wasn't
touched (more than it was to begin with which was his underlying problem..)

Might have something to do with all the restrictions on really
good ammunition that the gun-control types have laid on.

What restrictions? What ammo are you unable to buy, and for what type(s) of
gun(s)?
