Plaxico Burress On Gun Safety
LMAO! This should also serve as a sound endorsement for the Smith & Wesson 9MM - totally lacks the herky-jerky trigger of the Glock.
Parity
Considering these numbers HAVE the latest election results in them, I would say this represents parity:
This is stunning.
Total Democratic Presidential Votes Since 1932: 745,407,082
Total Republican Presidential Votes Since 1932: 745,297,123
Total Third-Party Presidential Votes Since 1932: 66,061,486
How's that for parity? That's a difference of 109,959 votes out of over 1.5 billion cast.
Hat tip to Crossing Wall Street.

Odd Looks
The headline over at the Wall Street Journal reads "Automakers would accept oversight board..."
Here's the photo:
I mean look at these guys! This is embarrassing!! The guy on the left, probably some dillwad attorney trying to look tough...next in is Colonel Potter with a comb over - oh, that's Mr. Union Man, Gettelfinger...then comes Mulally from Ford who looks like someone just pulled a new puppy out to show him...then comes Nardelli from Chrysler who has the "Why am I here when I could have these clowns whacked" look...
I officially hate the bailout. To watch these guys with straight faces tell Congress that they will do anything that Congress wants them to do is like watching some junkies beg for methadone. It's downright unseemly. Mulally was right, one of either GM or Chrysler is going to fail and fail catastrophically. That's what happens in capitalism. Then Ford or the other survivor, or a foreign manufacturer buys the production capacity, the fat gets trimmed and off we go again. The alternative is the Democratic nationalization of auto production...this is what you will end up with:
That little beauty was built by the Soviets from 1940 something to 1980 something...it's the Zaz! Maybe Congressman Waxman will demand that the fuel efficient models have a sporty touch, so they can add a spoiler! Yessir, yessir...here you are sir:
How about a convertible with extra safety bumpers and ADA step up ladder? You got it:
We have truly fallen down the rabbit hole. The free market is dying before our eyes and the same clowns that negotiated those great deals with the Unions and awarded themselves huge bonuses are now going to get to give monthly term papers to Congress. We're doomed.

More Explanations
There are thousands of reasons that my generation (the Baby Boomers) have turned out the way we have. But here are a couple of reasons:
This is a little creepy - why is the weird monkey dude putting the mechanical mouse in his pocket? "Stop it Corky! err, Kenny!" But you know if this kept us up on Christmas Eve, there was always the soothing sounds of the Gantvoort Twins! What's that? You don't remember the Gantvoort Twins?? Here's a refresher:
That's a smackin' good lookin' pair there! What is that device that is between them, a disco sawz-all?
If you were still a little disturbed that Kenny and Creepy were going to come crawling out of the closet while you waited on Rudolf and the boys, you could always put the Mom and Dads on for a spin:
I don't detect a single natural fiber on that crew! Gotta have a pair of patten leather white bucs to go with the powder blue leisure suit!
But if this is what messed us up, what does the following bode for Generation X:
Who is William Hung you say...here's a refresher:
Lord, help us!
