Meanwhile
if there's no good gun auction or loophole handy to your digs, I offer a pair of time-passers, one armed, one otherwise.
Guns galore
...and some nice ones. They go to auction this afternoon, so if you need me for emergency political or philosophical consultation I'm afraid I won't be here.
The queen of the hop is an apparently original Rem-Rand 1911A1. The joker of sadness is a Colt GI issue .45. Chromed. Add some Pythons to the mix and you at least have plenty of eye candy.
I seriously doubt I'll bring anything home. Auction prices around here have been astounding recently -- not just over the market, but off into the realm of stratobucks (thanks in part, of course, to Ben Bernanke's starship Kwee* Three Et Seq.)
I'll be leaving in about 90 minutes, so if you want to place a proxy bid...

*Q.E., quantitative easing, i.e. the Charminization of the Greenback.

Gun porn from the tin-bra set
Some Denver folks are wetting their stepins because Madonna used a gun in one of her acts. Her defense:
In a statement before beginning the tour, Madonna said she does not condone the use of guns. She said she is using the guns as symbols of intolerance and "the pain I have felt from having my heart broken."
I was about to label that as pure celeb blather. On second thought she has a point.
Now, my heart has been broken here and there, although never in a way that would justify the use of guns. On the other hand, I usually have one handy as -- just as the Material Girl says -- a symbol of intolerance. It symbolizes my intolerance for some subhuman critter who wants to relieve me of my possessions or my life.
'course she stops a stroke shy of fulfillment. If it doesn't work to symbolize, a person can always actualize.

England reacts!
I often tease Brits, so it's only fair to thank one of them for as good a line as I've seen about the recent debate-like teevee show. Able of England says:
As a 'damn furiner' I had the impression that dear Cindys new job was as a replacement for the O's teleprompter (since last time its absence was all too obvious in effect).
Well said, Sir. And an extra nod for intimating that your politicians are as moronic as ours, or nearly so.
