		<description><![CDATA[Agreed Dave Hicks, Eugene Robinson had a good column on that too.

“…if Africa is gaining ground against AIDS, history will note that it was Bush, more than any other individual, who turned the tide. The man who called himself the Decider will be held accountable for a host of calamitous decisions. But for opening his heart to Africa, he deserves nothing but gratitude and praise.”

Amen!

That bill is designed to strip rights with no due process.  Of course it isn&#039;t sold to the public that way, but that is exactly what it is.  That bill is absolutely worth fighting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;“gdad, it may sound scary, but unchambered ammunition will not shoot at people if it is burned. The gas can for the lawnmower is a bigger hazard in a house fire.”

Sounds like a great episode of Mythbusters!

The casing fires off at more velocity than the bullet, because it weighs less (yay, physics!). While injury is likely in close proximity, a lethal injury would be a one-in-a-million statistical outlier.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another reason to be concerned about keeping lots of guns and ammunition around:

&quot;Munsey said firefighters were hindered by ammunition exploding within the house, forcing them to stay a good distance away until it was too late. Burned strips are all that is left of Munsey&#039;s extensive gun collection.&quot;

BTW, I went to this man&#039;s murdered daughter&#039;s funeral because I was friends with the man living with his ex-wife, Kitty, at the time. I feel for all he&#039;s been through, especially the loss of his child.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Another Chuck #45: As I said on another thread, if you wonder why you aren&#039;t taken as seriously as you&#039;d like, Chuck, look at the nonsense you throw out. GOP senators are pitching a hissy fit wanting answers to the question of who changed the talking points - a question that was answered MONTHS AGO. Read &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323717004578155250839482098.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt; if you don&#039;t believe me:

&lt;em&gt;The officials said the first draft of the talking points had a reference to al Qaeda but it was removed by the Central Intelligence Agency, to protect sources and protect investigations, before the talking points were shared with the White House. No evidence has so far emerged that the White House interfered to tone down the public intelligence assessment, despite the attention the charge has received.&lt;/em&gt;

Do you realize how foolish your bleating about impeachment proceedings looks in light of this, AC?

If you want to be taken seriously, quit aping discredited talking points and start learning the facts before you spout off. That advice should be taken by Sens. McCain and Graham, as well, by the way.]]></description>
