Too bad for him he's not from Saudi Arabia - he probably wouldn't even
have been arrested.

Yes, he can.

Well....they do have a shortage of air marshalls :-) My son is an agent in
another Federal law enforcement branch...he has to tell them who he is when
he flies and is supposed to just act like a "marshall" even if he is just
going somewhere on vacation. You gotta admit, these guys (like Rogers)
could be fairly intimidating to a terrorist hi-jacker. But, I think he is
that stupid...really sad isn't it?

My guess is he knew it was there...but that is an easy "softener" for the
situation. I decided I want a license...not to carry...but to just have a
large caliber canon here at the house, maybe four of them pointed in all
four directions. It's not too hard to figure out I'm a "progressive", and
the Obama sign on my lawn gave some stuff away. But now, I have some
"friends" who listened to my new music (they asked to hear it) and they are
really upset. They are part of the "Woo woo" people, those folks who start
to tell you something and you can only cipher about one of five words, the
rest is just "woo woo woo woo Sarah Palin's right woo woo woo woo Obawoo woo
woo woo Kenya woo woo woo woo." And I'm pretty sure most of them have guns
at home....so I figured I'd just get a permit to have a tank or two around
the house, and I'm gonna buy a couple of hound dogs....so my friends have
someone to communicate with.

Maybe he wants to coach the Cowboys one day. Didn't Barry Switzer do

Is that why so many of my teachers were afraid of me?

Why do you insist on tossing up these softballs?

Johnny, you are not a funny man, you need the help.

They are past being scared. My youngest freed herself at 5.
