Barry and the ‘RATS are going to have a tough time pinning this one on the NRA and “assault weapons”.

Ever had government cheese? That’s some good eats. Back when we were kids, everyone in town had so much government cheese (they’d give it to everyone once the poor folk got theirs) that I doubt the grocery store ever sold any during that time.

He won’t be given a choice of cheese or anything else on his dinner plate for quite a few years after this.

It is the next logical step once they ban guns. They would be just doing it for your own good, of course.

He might have killed her because he just found out she was 8 years older than he is.

I still introduce my wife as my "first wife" even after 32 years.

Actually, I haven't spoken to her in over three months. We're not fighting, I just don't like to interrupt.
