The devil’s in the details, of course, but it looks like President Obama needs to send Vladimir Putin a nice fruit basket or something for bailing him out of this whole Syria thing. Kind of interesting that something that started out with John Kerry going off message might turn out to bail us out of this rather stupid situation. Good thing, too, ‘cuz Obama was about to look really, really stupid. OK, he kinda already looks really stupid (and rather irrelevant), but at least he’s hopefully smart enough to take the deal, declare victory, and move on to trying to get congress to pay the bills it’s already run up without defunding Obamacare.

Hey, how ’bout that George Zimmerman?

The incident stemmed from a visit by Shellie Zimmerman, who filed for divorce last week, and her father, David Bryant Dean. They came to the house the couple used to share to pick up some of her belongings.

George Zimmerman came to the house with a friend of his and got into a heated discussion with Dean, O’Mara said.

Shellie Zimmerman called police as George Zimmerman sat in his truck with his friend. On the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman is breathing heavily when she tells a dispatcher that Zimmerman is still at the house.

“He’s in his car and he continually has his hand on his gun, and he’s saying, ‘Step closer.’ He’s just threatening all of us with his firearm,” she says. Shellie Zimmerman also tells 911 that George Zimmerman punched her father in the nose, then smashed her iPad before getting in his truck.

“I don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m really, really scared,” she says.

Oh, I think you know exactly what he’s capable of, Shellie. Might I suggest that you and your dad arm yourselves before your next encounter and “stand you ground?”

Lots of storms rolled through here this morning, and now summer is set to return as we’re supposed to get up into the mid 90s today and tomorrow. Maybe there’s a little pool time this year after all.
