"I am a little bit disturbed by politicians who, in the immediate aftermath of this type of tragedy, try to grandstand on it, and I’m not going to be one of those people. I think that we’ve got enough poultry laws now. It’s time for us to address and enforce the chicken laws that we have."

This is why there should be no gun laws*. People will get guns anyway. It's the same reason speeding and murder should be legalized: People will do it anyway. _________________________________ * Although in this case, the useless gun laws let the police arrest her and take away the illegal gun. Your move, NRA.

On the other hand, 49 Turkish lira for that wireless signal extender (or whatever) is a really good price. So perhaps the conspiracy has its benefits.

It's so much closer to New Jersey than it is to any of the other Boroughs... plus, it's the only borough without a road link to Manhattan.

Hah! The Chicken Lady invades my nightmares again due to the Wonkette. Fitting in some strange way.
