A Canadian member of Parliament learned the hard way on Tuesday that insulting a rival legislator by Twitter is not a good idea, especially if you're sitting around the same table at the time. - Kent Allen

"@smackabug I don't think he actually is trying to hide that from anyone. And, I would guess that he is pretty used to people calling him names. I didn't see the performance as I find most of the award shows crap. I'm sure as the social pressure heats up, we'll see all but this kiss splashed across TV news screens." - Kent Allen

"Federal authorities are expected to announce charges against eight more people today in a long-running investigation into how perhaps dozens of young men from the Minneapolis area were recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia." - Kent Allen

"@Norton I don't see many people cowering at the name "Palin". It's interesting to me that the biggest dissenters to Palin's version of history come from within the Republican party.. in particular McCain's inner circle. As a Republican myself, I find her particularly uninspiring and hope that her brand of politician just fades into oblivion. Give me a real candidate, one who can not only talk the talk, but walk the walk (oh, and who does not cave in to marginal special interest groups)." - Kent Allen

"a classic case of childhood bullying! :)" - Kent Allen

"@Norton agreed" - Kent Allen

"Doesn't it make more sense to actually punish the criminal than to restrict the rights of all... who by a phenomenal significant percentage never commits a crime with their firearms? From the latest stats I found, far more people in this country die in automobile car deaths than from firearms. Should we eliminate cars?" - Kent Allen

"Nice tips, well written. great for a programmer, but if you are just a blogger with no tech skills... stay away. :)" - Kent Allen

"I'm as big a Google fan as many... but I don't like a single company controlling so much. Who is to stop them from becoming the Microsoft of the 20-teens?" - Kent Allen

"their sentences are a joke. Hang'm high. I don't care if they are in their 70's" - Kent Allen

"@FatLester Wow... "most of America" would view that as a declaration of war? I doubt that. I doubt most Americans have the conviction or guts to kill their neighbors... which in actuality is the outcome of a civil war -- neighbors killing neighbors, sibling killing sibling. I'd say civil war is an inevitability in this country regardless of second amendment erosion. Every country of any significance has experienced 1 or more civil wars in their existence." - Kent Allen

"What he actually said was that he would support the legislation that was drafted by the Bush administration to close the loophole that allows people on the do not fly list to buy guns. While I don't doubt the current adminstrations bias towards gun control, he surely did not "reveal a heinous and overzealous gun-control agenda". I suspect that when the government does try to take over guns, it will be done as covertly as possible --- definitely not as part of a televised senate judicial committee meeting that is more about political posturing than judicial oversight." - Kent Allen

It says much about our quick-moving, quick-cooking lifestyle that a holiday turkey is often the largest piece of meat a home cook will prepare during the year - Kent Allen

"I can see some logic to that with the following exceptions... 1) where is the next Republican at? I don't see any real national powers or even rising stars with national appeal (not that I see any heir to Obama either), 2) it implies that all of the political insiders who know about it are keeping quiet -- politicians never seem to keep quiet. there are several regional political powers, but I don't see any who can swing the christian conservative AND the socially neutral/fiscally conservative base." - Kent Allen

"No extraterrestrial object striking Earth 13,000 years ago? What a pile of crap." - Kent Allen

"I'm curious what he will think about the treatment he gets from the press when he's on the other side of the mike." - Kent Allen

"I am such a late adapter of TV technology that they will all be enery efficient before I get either." - Kent Allen

"Sad story Is there much of a difference between a buck and a dude named Bubba? Either way, he's going to get f'd up. Can't even let the kids play outside here without blaze orange on, even though my property stretches well around the house." - Kent Allen
