The man is dead already. Could you be any more of an asshole? Did you run a cartoon mocking Heath Ledger for Brokeback Mountain after he was dead?

Enough with the gun thing already. Personally, I think Heston was right. When the police can protect you sufficiently before the crime occurs instead of impotently showing up after the fact(ala Columbine, Virginia Tech, etc, etc, etc.)than I’ll feel more comfortable about re-interpreting the 2nd Amendement. Until then, They can pry MY gun out of MY cold dead hands. God Bless you, Chuck. RIP.

Keep religion out of presidential politics

Since last summer, when I volunteered for a Barack Obama event, I have received many nonsensical e-mails and heard many nonsensical arguments -- from friends and family as well as on TV -- about Sen. Obama's alleged lack of allegiance to the United States of America.
