Pat Roberts, Jerry Moran, and the Guy at the Co-op

Senators Roberts and Moran have been working for us on Second Amendment issues in Washington. There is a bill in the Senate that would allow/direct the President to confiscate all privately owned firearms. I looked for the bill number but could not find one; I'm sure the bill exists because a guy at the co-op told me so.
Our Senators also voted against the background checks bill because the Second Amendment gives us the right to bear arms without ever having to fill out any paperwork. That last part is actually in the Constitution; I learned that from the same guy.  
P.S. For those who have no ear for sarcasm; yes, if you disagree with me on this issue, I am comparing you to Scut Farkas.

Mitt's Memory vs My Memory

Turns out that Mitt Romney was a real life Scut Farkus.

A Romney spokeswoman dismissed the reports of Mitt's school days misbehaviour as being unimportant, because it happened so long ago. Her opinion was that this subject was not worthy of discussion.

Below is an e-mail I sent my favorite Sexy Liberal Radio Yak-Show Hostess, Stephanie Miller. It briefly tells about an incident from Manhattan High School way back in the previous century. I have thought about what happened that day but have never talked about it out loud. I can't take it back now.

There was a boy in my high school class who, perhaps was gay; maybe his voice didn't hadn't changed yet; he just sounded different. One day I mockingly imitated him when I yelled out his name across the crowded lunchroom. My buddies and I got a good laugh. He may have had problems other than jocks making fun of him in public, because later that school year he used a shotgun to kill himself.
What I did was mean, thoughtless, and wrong. Unlike Mitt Romney, I remember what I did. It was 1973, but I recall what a horrible thing I did. I remember exactly.
Perhaps Mitt has had so many of these incidents he can not separate one memory from another.
This does matter, even though "it was a long time ago". Jesus was here a long time ago; Joseph Smith was here a long time ago; the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written a long time ago; 9-11 was a long time ago; these things all matter today.

It appears that as a high-schooler, Mitt did not care about people. As a businessman, Mitt did not care about people. As a politician, Mitt does not care about people (unless they are also corporations).
