Although I won’t be getting an economic stimulus bribe, Joe’s idea of building a precision rifle appeals to me. May I suggest an alternative? If CLEO sign off is a hassle, form a trust. A 22lr suppressor can be had for $300 + a $200 transfer tax.

Vote Early

I just completed voting in the 2008 primary. Sadly, to vote for Fred, I had to declare Republican. Such is life in Washington state. The DNC is disregarding ballots in Washington, opting for caucases.
