  • America has the most guns per capita of anywhere, ever, including Yemen! Yemen. A full 89 out of 100 people own firearms. [Andrew Sullivan]
  • Obama is going to revamp FEMA by hiring some Clinton staffer who already fixed the thing eight years ago and left just before Michael Brown destroyed both FEMA and New Orleans out of boredom. [Kevin Drum]
  • If you haven’t seen this Sarah Palin comedy video already, it is funnier than the past three months of her idiocy because the garbled Alaskan catchphrases are the same, but there are no stakes whatsoever. So, sigh of relief, etc. [Crooks and Liars]
  • California-based Internet start-up Google (Yahoo search it) is having layoffs too. [AMERICAblog]
  • Laura Bush is working on a memoir! The sheer pornographic detail in this thing will be leagues ahead of those of Curtis Sittenfeld and probably on par with Meghan McCain’s Vietnamese bildungsroman. [HuffPost]

“She can have a dozen babies… she can lay 1000 eggs!!!!!”

Best line ever!

Servo November 25, 2008 at 3:50 pm

They need a lot of guns to shoot everything they don’t understand.

magic titty November 25, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Well, it’s not really 89 out of 100, but I like the cut of your jib, Juli, so I’ll allow it.
I guess wingnuts like to have at least 3 guns a piece, cuz it’s a bitch to reload when shooting at the coloreds.

Mr Blifil November 25, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Who wants to bet Laura’s “penis shaped vibrator” that she uses when she’s in the Lincoln Bedroom will turn out to be the same one O’Reilly prefers? Oh the irony…

The Pumpernickel November 25, 2008 at 3:55 pm

Holy crap! Do people really believe protecting us from the terrorists by sitting on their front porches with their shot gun?

Keep buying guns, people. Because we all know it worked for the Middle East. Wait a second…

“Destroyed Out Of Boredom” would be a great title for a book about the post-Katrina shitstorm.

SayItWithWookies November 25, 2008 at 4:00 pm

President Bush said recently that he, too, wants to write a book…
But that was before he found out that books are composed of thousands of actual sentences.

Cape Clod November 25, 2008 at 4:02 pm

We may have more guns than Yemen, but they definitely have more pirates.

iwillsavethispatient November 25, 2008 at 4:02 pm

I refuse to Yahoo Search anything. I much prefer Alta Vista.

bitchincamaro November 25, 2008 at 4:04 pm

…and New Orleans has more guns than everybody. Win!

Borat November 25, 2008 at 4:06 pm

You know there’s one guy in Texas who has enough guns to arm all Delaware, or at least 89% of it

TGY November 25, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Yes, well, the problem is the guns aren’t uniformly distributed amongst the capita, but are concentrated in the hands of that part of the capita that would de-capita the other part. Capish?

Otherwise, yumpin’ yemenies!

Neon Trotsky November 25, 2008 at 4:07 pm

It’s also worth pointing out that the governments of Switzerland, Serbia (back in the Yugoslav days) and (maybe) Finland essentially hand out guns to every adult male as part of their national defense strategies, and yet we still have double the guns per capita than them!!!

AMERICA = #1

TGY November 25, 2008 at 4:08 pm

The FEMA scheme sounds like another reasonable plan from Barry to reverse eight years of unreason.

finallyhappy November 25, 2008 at 4:10 pm

Who has my gun?

TGY November 25, 2008 at 4:12 pm

I thought the Swiss are the nationality who are the most gay for guns. How wrong I was. Take a bow, USA.

p-Sludge ofTheElves November 25, 2008 at 4:24 pm

Roughly 100 breasts for every 100 Americans, so …

[re=185959]TGY[/re]: yet another example of dangerous competence rearing its head. more socialist terrorist nazi marxist tyranny. muslin. did i mention muslin? that too. also probably atheist.

Sussemilch November 25, 2008 at 4:32 pm

Who gives a crap what Laura has to say? 99% chance she talks about “gee, ain’t it stressful being married to the busiest man in the world,” and 1% chance she says “there was a bunch of stuff that happened that I didn’t talk about before because I have no spine.” Don’t care.

coolcatdaddy November 25, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Ah, yes – guns, lesbian soft-core porn novels from Laura Bush, and an economy that really sucks.

Just a typical dayz in your Americaeeee….

Lascauxcaveman November 25, 2008 at 4:42 pm

Juli sez: A full 89 out of 100 people own firearms. Andrew sez: 89 small arms per 100 people in the US. Well, doing the maths, I can conclude that my gun-nut friend Dave, with his extensive gun collection, is about 35-40 people. He’ll be happy to know.

I sez: You can take away my gun if you pry it from my cold… no, wait: you can take my gun if you can find in the permanent disaster-area mess that is my shop. Seriously, I know I own a gun. I just have no idea where I put it.

Rush November 25, 2008 at 4:44 pm

All this talk about so many guns makes me very, very bitter.

Page 408: “…and when Condi walked out wearing that leather corset and stilettos, I knew that this little Texas gal was about to eat brown Rice!”

“Laura Bush Will Save The Publishing Industry Forever”

So, her memoir will be all about the historic rise of America’s first Black President, Barack Obama?

Naked Bunny with a Whip November 25, 2008 at 5:21 pm

Does this include the killer robots?

wheelie November 25, 2008 at 6:21 pm

[re=185986]Rush[/re]: Switzerland has many mountains, guns, bibles and bitter, bitter chocolate. I suggest you check it out.

DangerousLiberal November 25, 2008 at 6:43 pm

[re=185946]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Pussy. Real men (and women) use Lycos, or they code search engines with their bare hands, like we used to have to do in the 1990s.

Neilist November 25, 2008 at 7:52 pm

Only 89 out of 100 American citizens have guns?

Gesh.

I personally have enough to equip the 11 unfortunates in “my” century.

Vale et atque!

PineyWoodster November 25, 2008 at 11:48 pm

Between the wife and myself, we’ve got three pistols, three rifles, and four shotguns – but we live in Texas, so that isn’t all that much for around these here parts.

zhubajie November 25, 2008 at 11:56 pm

I’ve long thought the best way to make trouble in the USA would be to flood the black market with Kalashnikovs, etc. We’d terrorize each other!

[re=185941]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Definitely an as-told-to book! But will he tell the truth about his erotic encounters with Condie, Gannon, Rumsfeld, etc.? The triple headers with Laura, Condie and Ms. Zhao from Labor?

The End

glamourdammerung November 26, 2008 at 6:06 am

I would hate to see how many cars we have after you average in all the folks that own multiples.

I really do not think the guns are nearly as much of an issue as the way our society instructs people how to deal with each other.

Godless Liberal November 26, 2008 at 7:46 am

If 89 out of 100 Americans own guns, that means 11% of America is comprised of homo-sexuals.

oudemia November 26, 2008 at 9:40 am

It’s 89 guns per 100 people, right? So not 89 people, but rather all those folks in Idaho with 65 guns each running up the numbers.

kapish November 26, 2008 at 10:58 am

It’s high time the New World Order confiscated all those guns!

I’d read the damn thing just to see Laura open a can of whoop-ass on the Dark Lord.

rocktonsammy November 26, 2008 at 7:45 pm

Can she start with Joe the Dummer’s book.

Its one more than he has ever read.
