What? Are You On Dope?

No, no,no,no
I don't drink it no more
Got tired of waking up on the floor.
No thank you, please
It only makes me sneeze
Then makes it hard to find the door.

---Ringo Starr

Under the category of "You must be kidding" or WTF?

Bill Frist pulled the Defense Authorization Bill to move the Special Interest NRA Bill (Gun Manufacturer's Liability Bill) ahead of it before Congress goes on recess. The reason? So as not to embarass the President, because of Sen. McCain and Sen. Warner amendment to prevent torture of prisoners of war at Guantanamo. When confronted as to why the Gun Bill was more important than providing for money, benefits, operations, and weapons purchases for the troops, Frist replied that the Gun Bill was higher priority because if the gun manufacturer's didn't have protection from litigation, they may file bankruptcy and the sidearms our soldiers were using would have to be "outsourced" jeopardizing the safety of our troops. FLASH, FLASH.....Dr. Frist!...... The gun manufacturer he is referring to is none other than, are you ready for this?....Berretta! That All American company that we all so love and adore. No, it's not Smith&Wesson or Colt that supply sidearms for our troops, it's good ole Berretta. Maybe I missed something but Italy is still a foreign country, right?

Dubyacans Strike Again! I feel ooh soo much safer, now!

Scorecard

Special Interests Legislation so far:

  • Big Financials (Bankruptcy Act)
  • Big Corporations (Class Action Act)
  • NRA (Gun Manufacturer's Liability Act)
  • Multi-nationals (CAFTA)
  • Big Oil Companies (Energy Bill)

What have they done for us?

  • Anti-terrorism or Homeland Security (Zilch)
  • Illegal Immigration (Nada)
  • Education (Zero)
  • Gasoline and energy prices (Exxon - $32 Billion Profit)
  • The Environment (Cough, cough - too much energy from the Sun)
