A thoughtful reader just asked me about a strange situation where she was losing sleep over a knucklehead. And another commenter just spoke about one of the panelists on BMR who was just wrong. You know it's true, speaking of Pookie, that sometimes we have to deal with people who are just foul. What to do?
Cobb says do what your instincts tell you to do, but do it smartly. Your guy instincts tell you smack the sucker down. Your gal instinct tell you to find a guy to do some smackin'. The dumb way to do it is have ordinary tough guys handle the business, the smart way is to have your cousin the cop give the warning.
Don't know a cop? Why not? Don't you know a soldier or an airman, a marine or a sailor? Don't you know somebody somewhere whose job it is to protect you? Why not? A prosecuting attorney? A bailiff? Any officer of the court?
The Cobbian angle is simple. Take advantage of the fact that you live in a free society. Take some initiative to recognize people who defend liberty and justice. They're out there. There is no excuse to be completely organic when in fact our civil service is so honest.
