    “Against Any Terrorist, Radical Or Fool” — they’d need more bullets over here…

    I don’t think there’s nearly enough bullets for that. Fortunately, there’s always artillery. Whiff of grapeshot, anyone?

    If they run low on ammo, our Social Security Administration has plenty stockpiled. Of course, they may be saving theirs for the day when tanks roll up in their parking lots, too.

    Homer Bailey is not only the pitcher who has the last two no-hitters in the Majors, he is the first pitcher to hold that distinction since Nolan Ryan – who was his childhood hero. PLUS, his catcher’s name is Ryan! If there are assistant coaches with the Reds named Kennedy and Lincoln, we can declare an official conspiracy!

    Pretty sure the article mentions the Ryan connection – I skimmed it briefly before linking it.

    Oh, sorry, Reds fan, had heard all about it last night. I thought I was passing on some Reds trivia!
