Since the election, I have abandoned watching any news on television, including FOX. We have a small tv in the kitchen and used to watch Bret Baier, et al, during dinner.
The last time Juan Williams spewed out the dem’s talking points, I nearly choked on my steak. Truth’sWife issued an ultimatum and that was that. Cablevision has a bunch of music stations and we now listen to Solid Gold Oldies while enjoying a meal. I’m unlikely to toss the remote at Tommy James or any of the Shondells.

My one gun came with a neat little tool for loading the magazines. It pushes the spring down, so you can load them more easily than trying to push down and in at the same time.

Yes, you need to hold the gun lower so that the slide doesn’t break your thumb. When my wife used to work for a bone doctor, she saw a few of those, especially right after New Year’s, when drunk neophytes shot guns at midnight.

i have mostly done the same. i adore Greg Gutfeld though and so i do try to watch the Five. As bad as Juan is, he’s less likely to incite me to a stroke than Beckel. i can’t look at Twitter either for the same reason.

I love how people Tweet him angrily whenever he mis-identifies a song or artist. He’s obviously doing it on purpose.

My congressman voted no as we knew she would. Why the heck did Paul Ryan vote yes?

Here's a way to check the mansuetude as opposed to true conservative leanings of your congressmen.

Any mansuetude displayed by obama and his minions is a scam. It is meant to disguise the iron fist of Third-World dictatorship, designed to bring America down and to deprive millions of life and liberty!!!!

Instead of sticking to principles, we see many a republican man swayed, too.

Yeah—that’s what we need—Peace and Good, Brotherhood. Probably easier to find when you’re stoned on Crystal Blue meth.
