Peace Arch border incident today

Two American murder suspects attempted to elude police and jump the border into Canada in a frightful high-speed chase today at Peace Arch. See stories at Seattle's KOMO4 TV and KING5 TV including video. Whatcom County Sheriff's deputies stopped the fugitives' vehicle four feet from the Canadian border!

Do you think the unarmed Canada Border Services Agency officers are worried about what might have happened if these fugitives had eluded the American police and arrived on their doorstep?

"Young Scoffs at Criticism of Bridges" (Anchorage Daily News) gives a rather grim insight into the desperation elected officials feel in protecting their "hard-won" pork barrel projects for their pet constitutencies. Michelle Malkin provides a vigorous critique of "Don Young: Hog Wild". Left-wing blogger Think Progress captures the essence: Rep. Don Young (R-AK) is a self-proclaimed “ little oinker ” and aspires to be the “chief porker. A CNN video interview ...
