About Laura Bush, this is a good link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/28/books/28laura.html I think NY Times is stronger than a tabloid.

I think everyone knows how to Google to see the huge number of links to Junior's "alleged" cocaine use.

I am usually a good reader. Yesterday I had my first Annual Wellness Check that I was ask questions on a Senior Citizen level by my Dr. All is well BTW. Please highlight for me the part in that link that she says she was drunk. Also can any Texas folks add to this Long Horn Tale with the Statue of Limitations for Manslaughter in the Lone Star State?

Again, so what?

Thanks for the word "alleged". That say all that important.

Obama drug use is not "alleged"; it is documented and he was proud of it.

Don't let him off the hook so easy. Where does his link admit by her she was drinking? Do I need to go to Dr Pearle?

Thanks Posh, I didn't actually read it because I don't think talking about Laura Bush is relevant to anything. I didn't realize there was actually a "club" to hit my buddy over the head with.

(omg, the violent imagery)

OK, I've read it, and it's actually a good story about the former First Lady that inspires a little. Where Buggy thought this validated his "rumors", I don't see it.

!De nada! They will throw any First Lady into it. My favorite is Betty Ford who helped lots of folks. Nancy Reagan with her "just say no" may have helped so many kids. First Ladies are off limits to old school Virginians.

Posh, do not get me wrong. I think that Laura Bush helped a lot of young people with her reading programs.

She was a good First Lady - unlike her husband who was a dreg of a President.

The 100-round drum that Holmes allegedly possessed would have been illegal under a federal assault weapons ban that expired nearly a decade ago, and it is illegal in Massachusetts under a state law that Romney signed while governor."

Let's not get into the weasel-wording of meaningless quotes and misquotes on what Mr. Romney said. His heart is in the right place and he is a good man. Everyone steps on his tongue now and then. In a Presidential candidate, it is exaggerated most times.

actually the 100 round magazine could have been perfectly legal in Massachusetts depending on its date of manufacture.

I suggest you take that up with the L.A. Times, not me.

Do you personally believe there is a legimate need for citizens to have a 100 round drum magazine for their semi-auto rifle?

They had to hunt to survive often and had to fend off Native American attacks as well as those from the various enemies of the English government, then of the US government. (fighting French invaders then English invaders)

Some people have to get their minds out of the Colonial mindset that the Framers of the US Constitution had. This is no longer their kind of world. Now we have assault weapons that can be modified to fire weapons at a very fast rate of speed. Why would anyone need an assault weapon of this kind in any everyday situation?? Even one that is not fully automatic?

unless you are an every day Hunter, every day competition target shooter, there is absolutely no reason why anybody would need an alleged assault weapon even though it is not fully automatic in any kind of everyday situation.

People have handguns shotguns and rifles for various reasons including self-defense. Firearms like life insurance are really totally unnecessary unless you need them. You cannot buy life insurance once you're dead.

As far as assault weapons are made to you about Massachusetts. I was a competition shooter. I fired a 22 caliber pistol. He was a Pardinni. It was manufactured in Italy and is one of the weapons commonly used by Olympic shooters. It had five round magazine. It was classified as an assault weapon and was illegal to be sold in Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The reason was that the magazine was in front of the trigger. I don't understand how that was considered an assault weapon, do you?

The assault weapons to be referred to today are not and never have been a weapon that any military would use to assault a beachhead. Those assault weapons would be fully automatic.

Just a little information

Admit he is rich, obtained the American Dream, the hard way. Work. He looks like a buffoon distancing himself from a dancing horse and his tax returns. Just trust him. Right, like Nixon.

how about Obama's school records, theses papers, education loan applications and all of those items that have been sealed?

first of all I lived in Massachusetts. I am very familiar with the gun laws there at the time. As far as a legitimate need for a citizen to have a 100 round drum magazine I don't know. Perhaps he was a military weapons enthusiast or a collector. We know why the Colorado shooter wanted one. Are the actions of that one fool enough to make you want to outlaw everything that he had? Should we outlaw ballistics protection? There are many bulletproof items that you are totally unaware of that you would probably outlaw. There is a market out there for bulletproof backpacks that people spend good money for to help protect their children? Would you outlaw those after all what do they need them for? I'm afraid as usual your views are somewhat liberal and narrow minded.

Just some information for your thoughts
