I'm not much on Huckabee...

...but I think I'd get along just fine with his wife.

[Janet] Huckabee, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, said in an interview that she once shot a grenade launcher at a National Guard training camp in Arkansas.

"I have fired a grenade launcher and hit the target two out of three times, so I think that's pretty good odds for me," she said, noting that she had a special interest in military matters and has also jumped out of an airplane, flown in an F-16 and shot an MP5 submachine gun.

Because she's even less qualified than the complete and utter tools that are running.

Remember, Bush has shot guns and flown in a plane, too. Eco Pope Gore even played with some of Uncle Sugar's toys.

You honestly don't get it, do you?

Never mind. Go back outside and finish changing my tire. :p; 12:29 PM, November 15, 2007

Can it be a tactical apron? Is vodka okay?; 12:43 PM, November 15, 2007

Only if it's black. Camo is for that guy with the NASCAR sticker on his lawn mower (can't figure out why more NASCAR fans don't dig WRC. cars, dirt, drunken fans building fires and eating game on the side of the road. it's like the infield at Talladega save in the woods. what's not to like?). And no, vodka certainly isn't okay. Christ, look around you. Bourbon or it's bastard cousin, sippin' whiskey only. Moonshine's fine, so long as it's not that damnable stuff made with sugar. Or are you able to play the "Sky's my people's vodka" card? At which point you'll have to accept being called "The Iron Valkyrie" at least twice a week, though I'm sure they used stainless. "Stainless Valkyrie" just sounds too tactical.

"auto-maintenance"

You need a quart of blinker fluid, and your franklin rod's stovepiped. Don't know that I'd trust it for the road.; 1:38 PM, November 15, 2007

The reason she's not running is way simple: when you have an M-203, you don't have to run. And that's not just me talking: I have it from Lyle Bouck, MOH, who stopped the VI Panzerarmee cold with one mortar, set to eighty-effin-nine degrees.; 6:17 PM, November 15, 2007

Should I have gone with the limp dick "yes, dear"?

And I still say WRC is a superior product to NASCAR. But then, so's lawnmower racin'...; 7:06 PM, November 15, 2007

Good luck finding a safe ('non-fatal') place to watch one corner.
