No humor here.

I don't know Knoxville, its on the other side of a fairly long state from me. Perhaps window-shattering gunfire is common in this neighborhood, although it strikes me as unlikely that a BC/04 HQ would be located in anyplace too crime-ridden. Do however note what happened just across the street later the same day.

Just want to get it on the record that in the unlikely event this DOES turn out to be politically related, whoever did it is scum. Even if it's another case of Rovian preemptive ratfucking to make Democrats look bad:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gunshots shattered the plate-glass front doors of a local Bush-Cheney campaign headquarters Tuesday morning before volunteers reported to work.

Police believe someone pulled up to the Kingston Pike Shopping Center storefront of Bush-Cheney Victory 2004, the state GOP's grass-roots support organization, between 6:45 and 7:15 a.m. ET and began firing.

No one was inside and no one was injured.

Knox County Democratic chairman Jim Gray called the attack "despicable."

"I can't imagine what kind of thinking inspired it or maybe what amount of alcohol," Gray said. "My second thought is, maybe it was just someone who got tired of their darn Kerry signs being stolen."

Sigh. Shoulda stuck with your first thought, Jim. At any rate, note this item:

A bank robbery at a BB&T branch across the street about 11 a.m. heightened the activity.
