I have this on my soundtrack for running - not sure why…
Marilyn Manson _ Cake And Sodomy
White trash get down on your knees
Time for cake and sodomy

I have co-workers that have been doing this. One recently spent $2000 for a couple of magazines for some gun. I guess it has never occurred to these people that gun manufacturers, gun show operators and the NRA might have a vested fiscal interest in stirring up rumors about those evil gun-grabbers…
Some Floridians are stocking up on assault weapons in light of the rumor that Obama is going to take them away.
Barack Obama was elected president late Tuesday night, and T.J. Ramsey has spent hours since then fitting assault rifles to the palms of gun-hungry customers at Shoot Straight Tampa.
Fears that President-elect Obama will ban certain firearms has stoked a craving for assault weapons — AR-15s and AK-47s — and high-capacity magazines.
Nationwide, purchases of firearms and ammunition have risen as much as 10 percent this year. Gun dealers in the Tampa Bay area and beyond are flooded with customers trying to get guns before the government does.
The AR-15 is the “civilian version” of the M16. You know, the one we’ve given to our soldiers since Vietnam. The AK-47 might be the most efficient killing machine ever devised.
I will never understand why private citizens think they need these things, but you’re welcome to them as long as they’re semi-automatic, legally. Regardless of that, a hasty, outright ban seems highly unlikely in light of all the other problems the Obama administration will be inheriting.
Sidebar: This is an excellent parallel to the meme going around before election day that there would be “civil disturbances” (the kinder, gentler riot) in our cities after an Obama victory. You know, when the media was using code-words to essentially say “black people are going to burn shit down.” I didn’t see that happen, but white people really are filling out their personal arsenals right now.

That place has been on my list for months now. Damn.
Spending the day planning my photo road trip to Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. Going to shoot for three straight weeks. Been a while.
I decided to check out my old right-wing buddies on talk radio yesterday. I was bored and I figured it would be good for a laugh or two. And it was, sort of.
Rush Limbaugh was in the middle of a rant on Obama’s new web site, Change.gov. He had found, supposedly, evidence that Obama was planning on a comprehensive nuclear disarmament policy and Rush was mortified. Evidently working for peace is never good and will place our neck in a guillotine or some such. I guess this goes along with the whole ‘Obama loves terrorists’ theme that Sean Hannity was still ranting about. Ayers, still. The right really just does not understand that Bush has had seven years, still hasn’t found bin Laden, has managed to dismantle a dictatorship while completely botching the reconstruction and bog our military down in the desert, has caused relations with Russia to re-freeze, and somehow think this puts the U.S. in a position of power and respect.
There is a reason people all over the world celebrated Obama’s election. Think about it.
