A shotgun-wielding owner of a Harlem restaurant-supply company blasted two robbers to death and wounded two others on Thursday when he caught them pistol-whipping his employee, police said.
Turning the tables on the brutish bandits, 72-year-old Charles (Gus) Augusto opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun he kept handy for such occasions, cops and witnesses said.
"He's been robbed before, so I'm not totally amazed," said Stefany Blyn, who rents a space above the store from Augusto.
"They ran into some tough stuff today," witness Vernon McKenzie, 48, said of the stickup men, including one whose bloody corpse was splayed on the sidewalk in front of Augusto's store on W. 125th St. near ...

Political handicapper Charlie Cook said that it was "very hard to come up with a scenario where Democrats don't lose the House" in an interview with National Journal late last week. Cook, who, in the interest of full disclosure, gave the Fix our first job in political Washington, went on to note that while House Republicans have their fair share of problems but "you could triple the Republican Party's problems and I'd still rather have their problems than the problems facing Democrats." Cook has, of late, been extremely down on Democrats' chances -- an attitude born, he argued in the interview, of "fundamental, total miscalculations from the very, ...

Nearly 20 percent of the U.S. workforce lacked adequate employment in January and struggled to make ends meet with reduced resources and bleak job prospects, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday. In findings that appear to paint a darker employment picture than official U.S. data, Gallup estimated that about 30 million Americans are underemployed, meaning either jobless or able to find only part-time work. Underemployed people spent 36 percent less on household purchases than their fully employed neighbors in January, while six out of 10 were not hopeful about their chances of finding adequate work in the coming month, the poll said. Gallup surveyed more than 20,000 U.S. adults ...

Their intelligence has flown the hen house two years early. Paultard claims he’s won first primary!! Ron Paul Wins The First Presidential Primary for 2012 In the straw poll, Paul easily whipped second-place finisher Mitt Romney — the former PE chief and liberal Massachusetts governor, who’s trying to ride Scott Brown’s coattails to a second chance at his party’s Presidential nomination. It’s pretty easy to whip someone when you skew the results by busing in tons of people to swarm a poll.
Glenn Beck’s hero takes a swipe at his CPAC Speech

Rush has stepped into the foray of conservative voices attacking Beck’s speech. He is criticizing Beck for “beating down” Republicans, and of course he doesn’t call him out by name, but we know. I really think Beck is misunderstood by Rush, Levin, Bennett, and the like. He’s not criticizing the Marco Rubios of the party. Instead he’s criticizing the establishment and the leadership. I’ve already countered this idea here this morning and don’t need to do it again. Take a listen:

Arizona Prosecutors Won’t Seek Death Penalty in Honor Killing Remember the case in which Faleh al-Maleki, an Iraqi-American father brutally ran over his daughter, Noor, in Arizona, then attempted to escape but was apprehended in Britain and returned to face justice?

Public defender Billy Little raised the specter of “How will it look for Christians to execute a Muslim?” I kid you not. Billy Little asked the judge to “take special precautions to ensure the County Attorney’s Office wouldn’t wrongly seek the death penalty because Almaleki is a Muslim.” ...
