I know ads are a necessary evil. I know they provide a needed source of revenue to this site. But this morning, after reading Mark Sumner's nicely written primer on guns, I scrolled down to see an ad offering to to test my self defense skills with a quiz featuring a creepy guy in a ski mask pointing a gun at me, asking me if I feel lucky.

Jesus H. Christ on a dinosaur, the LAST thing I want to see right now is some masked madman pointing a gun at me. Scratch that. It's something I hope to never see.

There was also an ad for Concealed Carry Magazine at the end of the same post when I clicked the permalink. I know a lot of these ads are automatically generated. But can something be done? I'm pretty sure we are going to be talking about guns for a while now. At least I hope we are. It would be nice to have that conversation without having a virtual gun pointed at me at the end of every discussion.

I got an email from my Uncle Al this morning...a rare thing as he usually communicates via land line and actual hand-written letters. But he sent this to me this morning and I thought it was worth sharing. I hope it gives you a much-needed chuckle and something to sing this weekend.

When I wrote this diary yesterday, I had no idea that it would make it to the recommended list, stay there for a day, and generate 700 comments. I would like to thank everyone here for their responses, be they thoughtful, funny, or disparaging. You have all motivated me with your compliments and well-wishes.

No, it's not a story of proving the favorite talking point of the religious right. Nor is it a story of my anguish over losing a girlfriend. And I'm truly sorry if you're looking for a swashbuckling tale of the dreaded gay pirates kidnapping my love and converting her to the dark side. Although I think a story with lesbian pirates could be pretty hot... But I digress.

For proving Pat Buchanan right.

I'm not a huge fan of Scarborough Country. Usually, I catch it because it's on right after Countdown and I'll watch if it looks like the jibber jabber might be interesting. Rarely, it is.
