Celebrate Take Your Gun to the Park Day!

...by, you know, taking your gun to the park. And legally carrying it, of course. (Hint: you need a license in most states.)

According to this post on opensecrets.org:

A federal law takes effect today that allows gun owners to tote their weapons within national parks, so long as they obey local laws. It's a major victory for gun rights advocates, who argue gun owners should have had such rights decades ago. And it comes as pro-gun forces spent more on federal lobbying efforts in 2009 than in any year since 2002--all told, nearly $5 million. They targeted at least some of that money at both the House and Senate versions of the "Preservation of the Second Amendment in National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges Act," a Center for Responsive Politics analysis indicates. Gun control advocates, meanwhile, spent a relative pittance in 2009 on federal lobbying efforts--$180,000. Most of that came from a single organization: Mayors Against Illegal Guns. The decline in gun control advocates' lobbying power is striking: In 2001, the special interest area spent more than $2.1 million* on federal lobbying efforts.

*95% of which came from the change weighing down Mayor Bloomberg's pants.

Iceland Bridge Underway

It appears that one of the elder statesmen who follows this web site (most likely Sen Robert Byrd of WV) must have taken our advice, and in anticipation of the upcoming purchase of Iceland, Congress has voted funding for a massive sea bridge to connect us to the island nation.

Here is a satellite photo of the bridge construction, underway as this goes to press:

As long as our sage advice is being heeded, we would like to suggest a name for the bridge. Since Ted Kennedy's name has been reserved for the "Edward Moore Kennedy Memorial Health Bureaucracy," and President Obama's name is likewise taken for the "Barack Hussein Obama Socialism Comes out from under the Bed Program," we will have to find another august figure. Perhaps "Nancy Pelosi Incredible Suspension Bridge."

These are the "All Your Base" of this decade, so let's enjoy them while they still seem funny.
