what does a wolf give you for your birthday? does it regurgitate a rabbit for you or something?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

If that's the level of government there, maybe the presents would include culling the herd of politicians and staffers that let that embarassment slip through.

It was heart-warming to see the present that was being offered to the wolves, although I'm a bit concerned that there won't be enough terrier to go around.  Viscious little anklebiter, aint it?

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Oh, come on.  Misusing a homonym like that (which won't be caught by spellcheckers) is not worthy of a snide newspaper article on it.  On the ordinance itself, yes, maybe, but the snotty attitude of the writer is not justified just because of a minor error like that.

Even though most major publications go through a number of editing/proofing cycles before printing, stuff still gets through.  Typos and homonymal substitutes are slippery little devils.

In summertime, even the American Rifleman has a few boo-boos slip through, presumably because of staff vacations.  I've noticed that over many decades.

I think they ought to reintroduce them where they're really needed.  Washington.
