Here comes Clinton, racing up those stairs while wearing an ugly jumpsuit and dancing to 80’s music. No, she’s not having a crazy moment or preparing for her next trip to Bosnia to duck sniper fire. This time she actually compares herself to Rocky Balboa when it comes to the election. Well, she does have a few things right. They’re both old, falling apart, have ugly smiles, and probably both have penises (although we’re still not sure on Rocky yet).

The main difference is, Rocky wins in the end.

Now that i’ve got your attention with the image, i’d like to point out a little story I found.

A 7-year-old first-grader showed up at school Monday with two loaded handguns, Baltimore County, Maryland, police told CNN Tuesday.

One of the guns was discovered about 10:15 a.m. when it fell out of the student’s pocket at Randallstown Elementary School, just outside of Baltimore, police said. The teacher immediately took the student to the office and police were called.

After police arrived, they searched the child’s locker and found another loaded handgun in a book bag, Baltimore Police Cpl. Mike Hill said.

Ok, this is disturbing on a few levels and i’m sure many agree with me. I’m all for freedoms in the country, including the freedom to own firearms, but these gun stores have to understand that 7 years old is just too young for a gun. 12 I can see, maybe 11, but 7? What’s he going to do with it aside shoot at his toys or try to open juice boxes?

In all seriousness, parents please watch your guns. Lock them up, stick them up your butts, I don’t care as long as you keep them away from children. Or do everyone a favor, if you’re not responsible or bright enough to keep your guns away from your children, give the gun to the child, stick the barrel in your mouth and see how confident you feel. Now you know how the parents of other children feel when they send their kids into school knowing their are careless parents (or uncles) like this around.

In a rare show of spine, the United States Congress railed into the absurdly high gas prices plaguing the United States over the past few years. “Americans are hoping that the top executives from the five largest oil companies will tell us that these soaring gas prices are just part of some elaborate hoax,” said Ed Markey, D-Mass, chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. “Unfortunately, it’s not a joke.”

No, sadly it is no joke, no April’s Fools prank, or any other scheme. These gas prices are real and they’re hurting the country and it’s time someone with some sort of power said or did something about it. It’s very doubtful anything said by congress will have any impact, but it’s good to see them playing politics for once.

One of the reasons gas prices are so high is because they trade high on Wall Street, and not to defend the greedy bastards in big oil, but they can’t help it if investors are causing the prices to skyrocket due to all the fears caused by the war in the Middle East.

I’m no expert on the subject, but I have a feeling we’re going to continue to feel the pinch of high gas prices until either the Middle East suddenly becomes a calm and semi-peaceful place, or we drastically cut our dependency on oil, which would ease fears on Wall Street. I see none of those options coming true any time soon, so until then it’s time to invest in cars with high mileage and hope the pinch doesn’t bite you too bad.
