Just a quick update this morning...

Ted Nugent to Fellow NRAers: Get Hardcore

With an assault weapon in each hand, rocker and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent urged National Rifle Association members to be "hardcore, radical extremists demanding the right to self defense."...

"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em!" he screamed to applause. "To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

I HAVE A QUESTION!!! Are NRAers also part of the Culture of Lifers???

Sounds to me like Teddy's all about killing 'em all and lettin' God sort 'em out. Here, have a wad of mouth terbackee.

The Gropinator seems to be troubled by a British suit that has yet to go away.

But there's one incident that refuses to go away. A British television interviewer, Anna Richardson, says Schwarzenegger pawed her during a publicity stop in London in 2000 and then libeled her through statements made by campaign staff that appeared in a California newspaper article five days before the 2003 recall election that vaulted him into office.

Specifically, Richardson says she was defamed by a movie publicist, in a statement arranged by Schwarzenegger's campaign spokesman. The publicist, in an article published in the Los Angeles Times, accused Richardson of engaging in sexually provocative behavior and of fabricating the claim of harassment. She is suing Schwarzenegger along with the movie publicist and the campaign spokesman -- both now on the governor's paid staff -- for damages.

And there are people who want him to be president? How does Maria Shriver live with this jackass without wanting to beat him with a tire iron?

Lastly, when Chris at Unequivocal Notion discovered the hilarious "Ask the White House" section, I decided to go back and see if there was any more fun to be had. Whoa Nelly! Not only do they not know how to fix typographical errors (or when writing them, they decide to leave them in to make it seem more "authentic" - note to self, call the White House and ask where they get these questions from...), but the last question of this week's edition is this:

Have you paid a visit to the duck who has nested outside your building? Any ducklings hatched yet?

Most everyone here at the Treasury Department – myself included – has visited the mother duck who I’m told has many nicknames, ranging from “Quacks Reform” and “T-Bill” to “Duck Cheney.” The duck is observed by hundreds of official visitors and tourists who walk down Pennsylvania Avenue every day. She has created quite a stir by choosing this prestigious – and very public – address as the location for her nest, and she has appeared on every major television network as a result. I’m pleased to say that her visitors have been very respectful of the job she is doing: the warming and care of nine eggs, which we expect to hatch with ducklings sometime around the end of this month. Last week, returning to the office after giving testimony on Capitol Hill, I was able to visit the duck and her nine upcoming “de-duck-tions.”

Oh I am SO calling the White House about THIS crap. I'll update as I get info. Later!
