    Jon Hammer, Hopeful Killer of Small Birds.

    Jon Hammer, ex-Marine, in the news I’ve been hearing John & Ken talk for over a week on KFI about this poor man who was being kept in a Mexican jail because he was trying to move a gun across the border. Jon Hammer, a former Marine, had already been held in jail since August, and now his mother, Olivia Hammer, was all over the media, calling for his release.

Hmm, why say that unless he was planning to kill these vicious small birds?…
