Southern California's gun show in Ontario last weekend drew huge crowds and long lines of people eager to purchase guns. The city is east of L.A. in a region known as the Inland Empire. It's the only empire whose queen's got a tattoo on her neck and a government food card.
Promised Land with Matt Damon bombed at the box office Friday. It claims fracking harms the earth. Moviegoers willing to pay four dollars a gallon and twelve dollars a ticket for a movie that promotes higher energy costs opted to go to a bondage club instead.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi disclosed Sunday that more tax hikes are being considered to increase federal tax revenue. Many Democrats want a surtax on Wall Street bonuses. This is the kind of punitive tax that could drive our best people out of fraud.
Vladimir Putin welcomed Gerard Depardieu to Russia Friday after the French movie star became a Russian to avoid high taxes. The actor is the master of farce. And if there is anything we know about the Russians, it's that they really appreciate a light comic touch.
Syrian dictator Bashar Assad refused to step down from power Sunday. We could see Syria fall within one year of Egypt and Libya toppling over. President Obama could get his picture on the wall at Muslim Lanes for picking up the very difficult six-seven-ten spare.
U.S. Congressman Jose Serrano introduced a bill Sunday to repeal the Twenty-Second Amendment to allow President Obama to have a third term in office, just as he did fifteen years ago to try to give Bill Clinton a third term.
