Guns don’t kill people…

…the Vice-President does!

Oh my God, it’s just too easy. Anyone who knows my cynical/whimsical take on the world knows that I was put on this Earth for moments like this. C’mon, it’s Rule #4: never fire until you are sure of your target and its periphery.

Since nobody was killed or seriously hurt, I feel that it is my right, NO, my OBLIGATION as an American (and therefore a smartass) to pick on this to no end. Unlike CNN, I have a sense of humor, though.

So let’s get some slogans. I’ll start: “You can have my gun when the Secret Service guys pry it from my cold, dead, hands,” or

“First we kill all the lawyers…wait, Dick Cheney got there first!” Feel free to chime in with your own

Oh, and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s a Google cache of the story. What’s most perplexing is the fact that the media are fuming that they weren’t notified immediately when it happened. Refresh my memory, how long did it take Ted Kennedy to call the police after he’d left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown at Chappaquiddick? Oh, that’s right. I’ll shut up now.
