Artful Dodger: I still don't know what the rationale behind walking weapons across the boarder was supposed to accomplish. We wanted drug lords and other criminals to have these weapons because... ? I can't get past the because. It's like, say, you have a headache, so someone tells you to put your head in a meat grinder and turn the handle, because...

Doesn't matter 'why' you should do it, because you shouldn't do it... it's a bad idea. They've been trying to get Holder to talk about this for over a year, but the guy has been able to stonewall them for, what has it been, 18 months now? And barely a peep about it from the major news outlets.

I know what Holder should say. He should say, "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time."

Artful Dodger: Remember when Obama slammed people who "cling to their guns and to their religion"? I thought it was the guns he mostly had a problem with. Apparently not.

Iamon lyme: Describe for me your rebirth.Did a coconut drop on your head? was it an epiphany that roused you from sleep in the wee hours causing you to sit upright in bed in a cold sweat?

The Col: No, my "rebirth" wasn't as dramatic as that. But since there are no coconuts growing over my bed, one falling on my head would have definitely caused me to sit up and take notice.

Artful Dodger: "How about that Fast and Furious scandal?"

Scandal? What scandal? If it can't be blamed on Bush, then it can't be a scandal... it never happened. What are you talking about?

Iamon lyme: Oh wait. You're right. My bad. It is Bush's fault. Maybe Holder is just trying to protect Bush and that's why he's withholding evidence. (that's why they call him Holder).

Artful Dodger: I think you're right. But it can only be traced back through the aliens involvement. They are controling Obama, Obama controls Holder, and Bush controls the aliens. They control me too, but for some reason contact with them has been broken... I woke up this morning with a headache, like my head was in a meatgrinder. After the headache goes away contact will be re-established and I will deny everything.

Iamon lyme: I wear a tin-foil hat as it block their alpha-beta communicative microwave radiogenerator and frequency frequencer. It seems to work as he voices in my head are down to 3.

Artful Dodger: Yeah, and one of those voices is me. But who are the other two? I thought it was just you and me.

Iamon lyme: There must be a third player that we haven't met yet. hmmmmmmmm

Artful Dodger: I haven't done much of a search of past messages here, so I don't know how much has been said about the Fast and Furious fiasco. So far the only people I've seen commenting on it are you and me. If it was the only topic allowed on this board, this place would be like a ghost town. Where did all the free thinking and open minded people scoot off to? They are always around when the subject suits them...

oops, I think I just answered my own question.

Iamon lyme: we 'scooted off" as you put it because every time we post our posts are deleted....or rather mine is.....

Bernice: Some of mine were deleted last night, and for good reason. I tried to warn Bawana, but I think he may have had a snootful last night, because I woke up with his hangover.. thanks a lot, AD!!!

Iamon lyme: there's no interest in fast and furious here. But on other forums it's a hot topic
