When that happens, and some of your friends are led astray, keep <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/14/Man-Imprisoned-For-Legally-Purchased-Guns-Laments-A-Life-Destroyed" rel="nofollow">this story</a> handy.

Instead, he once again tried to burnish his imaginary conservative credentials with a meaningless gesture that did nothing to address the actual problem.

They expect lousy ratings for this agit-babble, and they've already written off ratings as a necessary loss-leader to keep the Administration happy. <br />One consolation would be that on any given night the entire viewership of MSNBC--ALL of it--is outnumbered by the population of Duval County, Florida (metro Jacksonville). <br />Rufus T Fireflynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-54813591096594660902013-10-15T12:37:30.864-05:002013-10-15T12:37:30.864-05:00@PRY,

Hey Bob... You are an alleged <b>sportscaster</b>; leave the left wing editorializing to Rachael Madcow and Whoopie Goldberg. If YOUR skin was red, then you'd have a right to an opinion on this subject; but since you skin is pretty darn white, why don't you go have your little hissy at the Chicago White Sox? And why weren't you pissing and moaning about the OTHER team? Don't you find the name "Cowboys" more than a little sexist? Shouldn't they change it to Bovinepersons?<br /><br />A note to NBC: Did you NOT learn you lesson with that moron Keith Olbermann? Us football fans watch football for one reason. We like football (I'd think this obvious, but realize your management types are somewhat less than in touch with us common rabble). If we want your socialist political opinions (which we don't, by the way), we'll change the channel to MSNBC or CNN. We NEVER get this crap from ESPN, Fox, or even CBS. The ONLY reason we watch football on NBC is you somehow outbid networks that value OUR opinions over their own, so we are stuck with you. You should also know that from now on, I will Tivo games on NBC so I can skip over your commercials and political tripe.Colbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-61013006405427866302013-10-15T11:36:23.684-05:002013-10-15T11:36:23.684-05:00@PRY: You forgot Honey Boo Boo!@PRY: You forgot Honey Boo Boo!Grumpy Curmudgeonhttp://grumpy52.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-54302994640261322562013-10-15T11:20:19.105-05:002013-10-15T11:20:19.105-05:00One think I keep in mind, folks, is....if Obama th...One think I keep in mind, folks, is....if Obama thinks it's a good idea, IT AIN'T!

They are trying to appeal to his "American-ness" by offering to fund this and that pet projects or give up the sequester, when they should be offering unlimited rounds of golf and free beer & cigarettes.<br /><br />@Grumpy,<br />Very nice and well written letter! It is sad but true that Senators such as Murray ignore such passionate pleas, but will gladly embrace anything unholy like abortion, trampling The Constitution, or running our country off the cliff just to make Republicans look bad. I have written many thoughtful (or so I thought) letters to Senator Kay Hagan, and have received the BS ridden form letters in response. These people are deaf to us; their ears are too full of Obama's lies and propoganda, and they are hungry to stay in the lap of luxury at our expense. I even wrote one to my other Senator, Richard Burr (who I thought was on our side) asking him to join the fight to defund obama-scare. I got a letter back listing all the reasons it couldn't be done. So he's lost my vote now, too!<br /><br />That being said, do you have a problem with us sharing your letter to your Senators, as long as we give credit where credit is due?Colbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-63137696035261684802013-10-14T12:37:39.803-05:002013-10-14T12:37:39.803-05:00And then I find this, and I feel a little better:
