A dog in Utah shot his owner in the butt with a shotgun.

But if we outlaw dogs using guns, only bad dogs will have them.

Btw, speaking of news from the west, this Thomas E. Ricks accused of attempted murder, etc. wasn't me, either. I have an alibi: I was doing jello shots with the world's biggest thinkers, including the Arab Spring crowd, some Googles, a bunch of State Department people, the guys who invented fracking, and a platoon of international economists who wouldn't tell me which country to short.

It's been a weird year for my name-both being played by Ethan Hawke and then being charged in Dodge City.
