OT - Hey, Joe...

...you'll find this humorous.



A few weeks back, I got a call from the NRA-ILA. I'm a lifetime member, but they still call from time-to-time asking for funds.



I agreed to contribute and yesterday received my "free" thank-you gift. It's actually a pretty heavy, well-made coffee mug I just finished using.



Guess what's stamped on the bottom?



Bingo. When I unwrapped the cup, I hoped beyond hope I wouldn't find that there. But irony wanted its turn.

I promptly fired off an e-mail to the NRA expressing my extreme disappointment in their choosing a country to make their cups wherein human rights are violated to the extreme and guns are illegal.

I'll let you know their response to my "don't call me again until you fix this" letter.

There may not be any mug manufacturers left in this country.

It doesn't have to be U.S.-made, but at least use a free country if anything else.

The English still make good china, despite their draconian gun laws.

Speaking of China, have you noticed something interesting?

1) We invaded Iraq because Saddam was an oppressive ruler. 2) Bush has said nothing about Tibet.

They don't count. No Saudi concerns.

The best version of that song was by Deep Purple.

Washington, D.C.?

Funny guy. Read the thread. China was the subject, but...good one.

He boldly stated that the turmoil in Tibet shouldn't interfere with the Olympics. Bush loves communists, as all of us should..
