It took years of settling for unprincipled GOP poltroons to get places like Connecticut into the sorry state they’re currently in, and now that gun owners there are reaping the results of widespread apathy and settling for the perceived "lesser of two evils," it’s merely a statement of fact to point out that continuing to reward people who betray you gives them absolutely no incentive to change and even less reason to respect you.

[More]And teach them to recognize what their orders really mean.

Third, what the hell is this "elderly" for a 56-year-old?

We're the Only Ones Prematurely Discharging Enough

A Good First Step
The international community’s decision to finally pass a treaty that will begin to regulate cross-border sales of conventional weapons is a small step in the direction of global sanity. [More]And here's where that journey of a thousand miles will end.
We're the Only Ones Unbelieving Enough
Police don’t believe the bear was a threat to people. [More]Right. But let Poochie bark at armored Sardaukar splintering the door at the wrong house and sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
Let's Get One Thing Clear
The Office of the Inspector General earlier cleared Holder ... [More]Damn it, it did not.
