Shannon Shark over at the Mets Police finds this offensive and I agree. While the fan as Shannon states is a knucklehead, do we ever talk about tazers as being an inappropriate means of restraint?

A hat tip to Deacon Greg and Pajamas Media For many pro-life Catholics, myself included, the thought of President Obama addressing the upcoming commencement exercises at Notre Dame just scalds. It scalds, but as my email fills up with angry press releases from various pro-life groups and with appeals to sign anti-Obama petitions, I find …
