Joe really loves his shotguns!

Joe Biden is in love with his shotguns. Well, maybe love is too strong; it's his "little over and under" that he likes. He likes shotguns so much that he told his wife, "'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here ... walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.’ … You don't need an AR-15 — it's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!" I just hope the Secret Service's agents don't fire back! Boy, that would take some explaining! "But sir, she fired first."
If Joe Biden weren't the vice-president and if he hadn't played a role ruining or trying to ruin so many people's lives from his position as senator, he would be a joke!

The distractions in Killing Lincoln

Sunday night I couldn't decide whether to watch Killing Lincoln. The reason: Tom Hanks's role as narrator. But I decided to watch. Hanks's repeated mispronunciation of cavalry distracted me. And I was shocked that such an intellect couldn't grasp the difference between cavalry and Calvary. I adjusted. Then he delivered the biggie: He used "lay in wait" in the present tense. He only used it once. But that was enough!
I'm sure his excuse would be, "I was only reading." That excuse wasn't allowed for Dan Quayle. (I know, I have issues.)
Killing Lincoln must be under a usage jinx. In the opening page of the book, O'Reilly or whoever wrote it, says that Lincoln "furled" his brow. That must have hurt!

If you don't know anything about the Constitution, you're in good company!

Nancy Pelosi wants you to know that she will defend your right to own guns. (Except for assault weapons, she sees no justification for owning assault weapons.) Nancy is very informed on this issue. So much so, that she knows that the First Amendment protects the right to "keep and bear arms." Hey, I don't make this stuff up; it's what she said!
Here is some more of her interview. After watching this video I think you'll agree Nancy's really good at burning up oxygen.
