We're the Only Ones...Uhh...Furry Enough...

A police dog that was left in a pickup with the engine running apparently knocked the vehicle into gear and ran down a woman who was walking to her mailbox.

I love the headline: "Dog Blamed..."

And then, of course, "police were trying to determine if there might have been some malfunction..."

It's the dog's fault. It's the truck's fault.

No wonder whenever there's a shooting it becomes the gun's fault.

Everyone is to blame but the unnamed genius who set the chain of events up. And when it comes time for the inevitable financial settlement, it will be the taxpayers' fault--or at least their liability.

Soldier of Fortune

“The Israelis know that if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die,” Clinton told the crowd at a fund-raising event for a Toronto Jewish charity Monday.

This creature of opportunity really does have no shame.

A Fair Response

But even if you have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, you must leave your gun at home or lock it in your car for the July 23-29 Clermont County fair in Owensville, according to William Scharber, president of the Clermont County Agricultural Society, which organizes the event.

The fairgrounds is owned by the agricultural society, so it's private property, making the Clermont fair exempt from the Ohio law, Scharber said. "People have got to realize they're in a lot of trouble" if they try to bring a gun into the fair, said Scharber, who's also a sergeant with the county sheriff's office.

I say give him his wish--leave your gun at home. Leave yourself and your dollars, too, and get the word out to other Ohio gun owners planning to attend.

Live and Let Cry

Former JAMES BOND star SIR ROGER MOORE almost never got to play the suave superspy because he's terrified of guns.

He's also terrified of you having them.

Meet the New Bond. Same as the old Bond.

Dog Day Afternoon

What do you suppose a Million Mom March supporter would have done in this situation?
