If you include "No offense" in a statement, chances are, your statement is offensive.

I suggest heartily that our local Law Enforcement Officials ROUND UP terrorists..  Having weapons of mass destruction such as this in the hands or private individuals is worrisome at best -- in the hands of a Nayboob it is DANGEROUS.

Grand Piano on a trebuchet?
  It's been done already.  "Northern Exposure"  Cicely Alaska, in the early 90's:



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Northern Exposure was the first time I saw a practical use for a trebuchet...................soon after I discovered the punkin' chunkin' machines.......................not having easy access to a wood shop anymore has slowed my own trebuchet plans....................

I would have been pleased if the entire Nayboob Squad had been tightly packed into that Piano case..  The results would have been glorious.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
