It sez something for that tired old dusty document when neither BUSH nor Obama can shred it….although you wouldn’t know much difference in the strategies…
All this arguing over guns I get not. Look at whats practical. There are 310 million guns out there…the ones I think we know about. So these new laws however they turn out, may keep a few hundred thou out of circulation a year..?? Perhaps it’s in the millions?
Perhaps its like the debt except we are doing what is practical and attempting in some way to flatten any growth.
Seems to me there are already plenty of guns for whatever uses are desired…probably keep us busy at least during my lifetime….

The first 18 seconds is Disney but the rest isn’t. This has to be the best “reworked” song I’ve heard. He takes David Allen Coe’s classic, The Ride, and turns it into a Dale Earnhardt tribute.
Then he cried when we got to Daytona an’ as he pulled onto the track,
An’ he said: “This is where you get out boy, ’cause number three ain’t comin’ back.”
As I crawled out of the race car, I said: “Thanks, I’ll catch you later.”
He said: “It’d be tough catchin’ me boy, ’cause I’m The Intimidator.”
He said: “Boy, can you make fans stand an’ scream your name?
“Can you hit ‘em in the rear an’ grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?”
He said: “Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
“‘Cause if you’re Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you’re in for a ride.”
The Greatest race car driver ever.

Their “thinkers” have already figured it out for them, so they don’t have to expend any energy towards trying to think for themselves. Once it’s heard three times in the echo chamber, then it’s considered verified fact.

Meanwhile….BO’s Hollywood supporters are sporting $100,000 attire…It’s funny how much the film makers etcetera benefit from tax breaks…doubt this $1.5 billion annually includes the fact that accounting for film productions remains one of the most prolific accounting mysteries..I think I heard that a film can gross
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324880504578298080119811240.html

Last night I lived it!
I gave someone a ride home because they didn’t want to ride with a drunken driver. It only took me 15 minutes to help and was no big deal for a regular mensch, like yours truly.
But when I pulled into the garage and parked, there was a noticeable hissing sound coming from my right rear tire. Thanks god for spares, even if they are of the cheesy space saver variety!

I have no idea where the gun talk comes from as I was addressing Look’s comment about Congress abdicating their authority to Obama. If it were my job to do, I would tell the gun nuts to go fellate a lit stick of dynamite as they make sensible gun owners look like nutcases. You can’t have rational dialogue with irrational people. We see that here on a daily basis.
As for Bush and Obama, I’ve called them one and the same since Obama took his first oath. Obama has actually been a better Republican president than Bush ever was.

Jamvet: I loved to HATE Dale Earnhardt lol. His fans were (and still are) the drunkest most obnoxious knuckle dragging rednecks at the race, the bar, the mall ect……. not that all his fans were that way, but the one that WERE that way were always Earnhardt fans. They were as easy to taunt and torment as are the far right wing nutcases here.
Anyway, he was one of those people who transcends his sport to where he is know by folks everywhere. Like Arnold Palmer, Mario Andretti, Babe Ruth, Joe Namath, Muhammad Ali ect……. thye are just so much LARGER than anyone else that they gain myth status even when they are alive. Others may be better, but THEY are the ones everyone loves or loves to hate. They are the ones who “Float like a Butterfly and Sting like a Bee.”

Planes crash, schools close, houses burn, criminals run free.
Welcome to the “Mad Max” world that President Obama envisions if the federal budget is reduced by 2.3 percent. It’s a scenario designed to provoke rage and hopelessness, and it certainly does, though not for the reasons Obama intends.
Instead, his claim that the $3.6 trillion budget can’t be trimmed by $85 billion without the country collapsing reveals the utter futility of believing he will ever save America from financial disaster. The nation is headed for ruin unless it cuts spending, but the president refuses to do anything about it. In fact, he argues we don’t spend enough, that we must “invest” more. Just plain crazy!

And Mr. Right, you wouldn’t be able to state the collpasing truth about what the president actually said if it fell on you. You are a garden variety liar who makes up claims out of thing air.
