YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 - The House of Representatives this afternoon postponed action for a day on a bill that would be a cherished victory for the National Rifle Association: a measure shielding gun manufacturers and dealers from liability lawsuits.

(From "House Expected to Pass Gun Bill Strongly Backed by N.R.A.")

Good to see that the nation's priorities remain in order, just a few weeks after there was -- gasp! -- some dangerously misguided and irrelevant and bleeding-heart talk of actually addressing the persistent level of poverty in America!

But alas, there's no time for that. And no time to address health care, friends, because WE MUST REDUCE LIABILITY EXPOSURE FOR THE GUN INDUSTRY!

Sorry for the all-caps, but man, lately I feel like I need some kind of SUPER-caps on this computer keyboard. I need to be able to type words that literally leap from the screen, grab you by the scruff of your neck, and scream, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE! WE MUST STOP THE MADNESS!

Ahem.
