  1. “Lech, do you own a handgun?”

    “Own?” No. There’s a lot of stuff up at the farm in Vermont but it all belongs to other family members and I don’t keep anything in NYC. I’m heading up to VT this weekend and hope to go blow some shit up / shoot at stuff with my brothers. We like to go to Wal-Mart and get propane cylinders and ammo for the 30-06 (shoulder cannon) and then go up in the valley at the farm and blow shit up. I suppose the AR-15 would work pretty well too cause that will penetrate just about anything but we use the 30-06 cause it’s funner and then you get to act all manly cause you have bruises on your shoulder from a gun.

    Mrs Jackal objects to my keeping handguns in the house (killjoy) so I keep other stuff (ie not firearms) close by in case someone breaks in.

  2. donatella,

    Nixon’s legacy is still being debated obviously,
    hell, we’re still debating Jefferson’s legacy for that
    matter. Remember our lengthy off-the-OT postings following the “prison-playground”.

    I agree, he had personal failings.
    and although I have a Shepard Fairey Nixon lithograph,
    it’s only because I didn’t want to purchase the Mao lithograph.

    As others have posted however, his presidency had it’s merits which continue to be evaluated with the increasing clarity and objectivity of time.
