Don't know if you guys get the newspaper cartoon
Mallard Fillmore in your local paper or not but I just had to share this. Mallard had this to say in his cartoon yesterday:
"Now that the Supreme Court has decided to hear a case challenging D.C.'s 31-year old handgun ban, both sides are mobilizing. D.C. residents say they have a constitutional right to protect themselves while spokespersons for the criminal community argue that arming law-abiding citizens could create a 'hostile working environment'."

I wonder which "criminal community?" I believe it was Will Rogers who said that "if there was a resident criminal class in the country, it resides in the Congress."

It is the foreign element that commits our crimes.
There is no native criminal class except Congress.

Now Greener, let's not get carried away here. Toy is going to get a bad case of the big-head if you keep giving him these complements! I think he may have gone to the University of Texas and those graduates are neither gentlemen or scholars!
