Nice inauguration. Wonderful really. Congratulations.

Welcome to America! Our top US headlines of the day:

Inauguration 2013: What Michelle Obama is wearing
Kelly Clarkson sings 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee'
Video: Beyonce makes live return at Barack Obama inauguration Star warms up ...

A better headline is:

Obama inauguration: the President starts his second term with a declaration of class war

Apparently, 'equal' (in Obama's world) extends beyond 'rights' and into equal paychecks, equal work ethic, equal ambition, equal career paths, equal rations, and equal housing. I'll give you a hint, it starts with 'S' and ends in 'ism' and you can look to Europe as a perfect example of it.

What's fucked up is that Barack Obama makes me pine for the days of Bill Clinton.

I feel like this is an appropriate time to post and point out as we approach the anniversaries of the space shuttle disasters. No regrets, no backing down, no political blaming, no giving up, only perseverance.



...the future doesn't belong to the faint hearted it belongs to the brave...

Mass murder on the highway?

It's about time this country sits down and has a serious conversation about buses.

Yes, you should ban them. Or fix the brakes and other mechanical faults, as per the law.

Seriously, those tour buses crash all the time, especially in my neck of the woods. I would not be surprised if more people were injured by these bus crashes then illegal gun play. Just saying :-)

Where are all the anti-gun advocates now? I thought Obama and the liberals only want 'trained professionals' to carry weapons and protect society?

7+ LAPD officers mistakenly open fire 30+ rounds on 2 Mexican women in their 40s and 70s. Injuring both, while sending bullets through neighbors front doors and cars.

Heard about that; not nice stuff. Over here, apparently, any officer who takes off the safety is suspended and arrested until a reason is given. Can't really see how that'll work in the Wild West.

How would they even know that happened?

No clue, but I'm guessing colleagues or something similar. Hell, the government probably know how many times I take a leak, so maybe somekind of software or mounted camera? Your safety shouldn't be off in any situation unless you're firing the gun; it goes back on if you can't see them or you're mobile (even if under fire or you're in a kill house).

And that is one of the reasons why I absolutely loved the Dictator and all of SBC's movies; he plays on the the public's general ignorance - Brits with Ali G and you guys in Borat, Bruno and The Dictator.

Don't get me started... It won't be pretty or friendly, and there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth as I prove all of your misconcieved notions as false and foolhardy.  Much as I have done before in each of my rants on this thread.

Love you old man.
