IMPROVING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

In A Few Years We Won’t Even Be Able To Remember *Not* Bringing Guns On Amtrak

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Anyone who has ever been on an Amtrak train—especially during rush hour or the onset of holiday weekends—knows how much better things would be aboard that train if passengers were allowed to bring guns on it. Any and all conflicts would be basically pre-solved, because whoever wins is just whoever has a gun, see? Anyway, Congress is all for it, and they are willing to withhold $1.5 billion in funding from Amtrak—or shoot Amtrak with a gun concealed in its messenger bag—unless this is allowed by April.

DON'T TAKE MAH GUNS

Ensign: ‘Like A Sheep With A Secret Sorrow’

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

He does have lots of fluffy white hair!A group of important politicians, including Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign and also the beloved waitress-assaulting alcoholic buffoon Governor Jim Gibbons, gathered ’round uncomfortably to dedicate a new 2900-acre shooting park in Clark County, Nevada yesterday. Ensign reportedly “gazed into his lap, fiddling with his wedding band, turning it this way and that, slipping it off and putting it on different fingers.” What a douche! MORE »

Crist Won’t Endorse Sotomayor

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMOUS BECAUSE THEY LOST WEIGHT

Mike Huckabee Says We Need More Guns, Because Of Neda, And The Constitution

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Mike Huckabee has always seemed like a nice enough fellow, which is strange, because he also wants us all to shoot each other! Here he argues that if Iranian lady Neda had had a gun, she would’ve been able to shoot all of those mean people first, meaning… [some sort of segue, while laughing]… the American Constitution’s Bill of Rights is not what you think it is: “Some of us fail to understand that our 1st Amendment right to speak and assemble is meaningless without our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.” Misread!

Katrina: The Gun Lobbyist’s Wet Dream

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

Finding yourself inconvenienced by wrathful acts of God, the federal government and poverty? What you need is a nice, warm Uzi. And what luck! House Republicans have just approved a bill which limits The Man’s right to sue honest, hard-working gun manufacturers. Hey, they’re your last line of defense between death by drowning, and death by hollow point-induced hemorraghing. MORE »
