Bad News first...

dunno which of the 2 RINO president wannabees gets the Darwin award for acting NON-presidential today...

McCain's "F#ck you" to Senator Cornyn for his humorous "parachute" remark, which deserves at the very least a 'worst sense of humor in the Senate' award;
or
Bloomberg for his description of the FOP:
"It is one fringe organization," charged Bloomberg.(keeps showing his true 'pink' colors day after day!)

in the same freeper article from ilaalerts.org today, the Good News:
Quote:

MEEHAN-SHAYS AMENDMENT DEFEATED! For the second time this year, legislation infringing on American citizens' First Amendment rights was defeated in the U.S. Congress. On May 1, anti-gun Representatives Martin Meehan (D-Mass.) and Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) introduced H.R. 2093, legislation restricting grassroots lobbying. The "Meehan-Shays amendment" would have defined communications by organizations such as NRA, that were written with the intent of mobilizing citizens to contact Congress as "lobbying," subjecting those efforts to onerous registration and reporting requirements for the first time in American history. In the past Congress has specifically exempted grassroots mobilizing from the definition of "lobbying." Meehan offered H.R. 2093 as an amendment to H.R. 2316 (the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act") at the House Judiciary Committee markup yesterday and it was defeated on a voice vote with only one of his colleagues speaking in its favor.



S. 376 MOVES OUT OF COMMITTEE: We are happy to report that, this week, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to report S. 376 favorably, without any of the many anti-gun amendments Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) had threatened to propose. The bill is now available for consideration by the full Senate.


the anti-gun cult is in full peacock regallia this year...think I'll go to the gun show today and look for some multi-colored bad hair day cultists! Wink

What a coinkydink, went to a gun show yesterday and bought, yet another, semi-auto hand gun. Mebbe I'm paranoid, but I rarely go out in public without one in my pocket and/or truck.
