On a side note, who is/was Danny Westneat? Why was he given this assignment?

How does the fact that it's legal for 14 year olds to shoot rifles unsupervised lead them to believe they're not guilty when they accidentally kill someone with that rifle? I guess when it's difficult to have a strong grasp of the law and legal maneuvering when you're only 14 years old. It's not as simple as not killing someone with a gun, after all.

Hey, it can't be any worse than that grim shithole of an East Hole apartment he lives in.

Yeah, good luck with that.

-then-

Nancy Pelosi = "Baby Machine"

We could end up with a Curmudgeon vet for President, a Baby Machine one heartbeat away from the the Presidency and another Baby Machine two heartbeats away form the Presidency.
