Overslept, the electric blanket is on the fritz, an important drain stopped up (and I cleared it), cleaned up, started laundry, cooked a little breakfast and now I'm waiting for "Gabby Giffords' astronaut husband"[1] to show up on Meet The Press and explain how he isn't planning to take (all) my guns away (yet).
Ew, just had to sit through 20 seconds of Chris Matthews explaining how mean ol' 'pubs are the only thing preventing Mr. Obama from creating Jerusalem in (our) green and pleasant land.[2] Riiiiiight. 'Cos any pol or group of them, ever, could bring us on the jubilee.

@Ritchie. This is not an issue involving rational thought processes. If it were, my AR would have an auto sear, and I'd be buying bandoliers of .556 NATO for about a quarter a round.
