Obligatory Wack Stories
It's Monday and you know what that means. Trey Garrison has had the whole weekend to dig up wingnut, conspiratorial, paranoid, wack stories to share with us.
He starts with his obligatory, "More Guns are Good" story, using a belated local television story about how gun sales are up since Barack Obama's victory in November to praise higher gun sales.
He moves on to a "Watch Out For Bad Cops" story about an off duty cop who installed emergency lights in his private vehicle for "off duty jobs." Use you imagination about what happened next.
He closes with his "Monday Roundup", in which he tells us he hasn't been following the Trinity River Parkway debate, but he does know that it's now established fact that the Earth, instead of warming up, is actually cooling instead. Just be thankful Garrison can't cover everything.
Garrison used to be a writer for Dallas Blog. I don't know why he left. It couldn't have been because of his penchant for self-parody. The steady stream of Dallas Blog stories with themes like "Muslims Are Taking Over Europe" defined self-parody in Dallas media long ago. Trey Garrison has that part down pat. Maybe Garrison left Dallas Blog because he's not all that into saving Christendom ... unless it involves guns.

If people are buying more guns because of Obama than it proves that Obama is successful at stimulating the economy just by his presence.
It's a win-win situation.
What are Garrison's credentials. The DMN used him on their peak oil debate last summer and it killed it dead.
He mostly just spounts crap without attribution or credence.
Trey Garrison has bounced around. He contributed to Dallas Blog, to D Magazine (contributing editor, I believe) and Frontburner, to the Dallas Morning News, and just this month, Reason. Mostly as a freelancer, I gather. I know of no credentials for him other than writer.
I knew he participated in the DMN book club on peak oil last summer. I wanted to participate myself, but hadn't read the book and didn't feel qualified to discuss something I hadn't read.
You forgot my other credential: I'm frickin' brilliant.
Lorlee, if you have daddy issues to work out, good luck, but don't put your crap on me.
Love and kisses,
T
