(I offered that phrase to Scott but he didn’t think it was funny enough so I’ll take it back.)

“Since 9/11, for people who are in government, I think in general there has been an agreement that it’s more — a more dangerous time,” he said. “If you look at people in the executive branch . . . there is not that kind of protection available to people in the legislative branch. We are required to defend ourselves, and I choose to do so.” Senator Jim (Happy Birthday, Phil) Webb

Since 9/11… hmmm….. that’s interesting. Protection from what, since 9/11?? Could it be…….oh, I don’t know…… Radical Muslims??

Do you think he sees the threat, too? You mean it’s not just us gun-toting, dog-kissing, funny-smelling, uneducated poor relatives in his district? High-falutin’ fancy book writin’ people realize it too?

In case you thought I’d forgotten,
