Remember the portentious announcement by our friends at the Brady Campaign about something BIG happening on January 8th? Come on, we posted on this Thursday. Not ringing a bell? Exactly. That’s how much of an impact the tease for their “major initiative” made. Anyway, we (and most of you) expected a fizzle, but I’m not sure anyone could have predicted a squib of such epic proportions. The big idea is (drumroll please)…lighting a candle. That’s right, light a frickin’ candle…
No big-name endorsers. No push for more legislation. Not even a bake sale, as Aharon boldly predicted. No, all they could manage to come up with was burning some paraffin and liberating a little carbon into the atmosphere. Wait til the global warming crowd gets a load of this.
On the off chance you needed any more convincing that the anti-gun crowd is totally, utterly, indubitably out of ideas and, sotto voce, admitting defeat, well here it is.
