Cell Phones and Assault Weapons

I was driving along I-480 at 75 or so, downloading a program from a website with my fucking phone/pda/pocket pc. This is crazy! When was it? Like 1987 -- I got a cellular telephone for my birthday because I was driving a lot and it was new technology, cool technology. So, I had this James Bond-like thousand dollar device with a speakerphone that was installed in my car. Finding out I had a phone in my car, the partner in the law firm who liked gadgets just had to get one. He couldn’t stand it that I was the first kid on the block to have one. My secretary wouldn’t give the number to anyone so they couldn’t get a hold of me after I left the office. Imagine that ...

There’s a rumor circulating that the city of Cleveland will be giving away 100 Street Sweeper and Striker 12 revolving cylinder shotguns at the new gun shop inside the West Side Market as a promotion to attract the National Rifle Association’s 2007 national convention, which was withdrawn from Columbus, Ohio, because the city council there passed a comprehensive assault weapons ban.

i remember those phones. my mom had one because she was a realtor.

and remember, guns don't kill people, bullets do. that's why we should make bullets illegal. hee hee.

I thought lengthy divorce cases killed people. Or maybe it's the fukking attorney fees?
