Getting Ready To Take It On The Lam?
Off Line Again
There seems to be a conspiracy to keep me from posting. My DSL connection has died again, and now the modem in my firewall machine that I was using for backup seems to have gone to that Happy Hardware Hunting Ground as well.

John Dingell’s primary victory in Michigan may have been the final blow for gun-control groups.
