Washington DC has a ban on handguns, ostensibly for the sake of its citizens, even though most of them that are killed are still killed by handguns. (How many of those were people who would have had a gun to defend themselves if there was no ban?)

In 2003, Washington resident Dick Heller, who lives in one of the city’s tougher districts, lodged a suit against the local authorities saying his constitutional right to bear arms was being violated. Although his case was initially rejected, he won on appeal to a federal appeals court in March.”

It looks like the case may get all the way to the Supreme Court. If they do decide to hear the case, let’s hope they decide on the side of freedom, and restore to those people in DC (and other places) their right to bear arms.

“The man has a lot of dates to remember… For one thing, he’s had three wedding anniversaries…”  That’s actually what one Giuliani staffer said after Rudy Giuliani couldn’t name one thing that happened on September 12th, 2001.  Just remember folks, that if you think things are bad with George Bush, keep in mind that Giuliani is more authoritarian.  He’s also being investigated for his role on why FDNY units didn’t have proper radio equipment on September 11th.  Is this really a man people want leading the country?

It should come as no surprise to people that with the Iraq War, the US isn’t as popular as it used to be, just about everywhere in the world. Well, it seems that lack of popularity is spilling over into our tourism industry, and fewer people are visiting the US. This is especially ironic considering how little the dollar is actually worth; given how cheap it is to come here and spend money, more people should be visiting.
