My mom sent me an e-mail this morning informing me of yet another boneheaded conservative move by U.S. president George W. Bush. U.S. Congress has passed a bill which protects gun manufacturers from lawsuits filed by the families of victims of gun violence. "I look forward to signing this legislation into law," said Bush before cackling maniacally and vanishing in a burst of flames. We can now see the Republican party is in the pocket of the NRA and the gun industry.
