"Who elected him to speak for another citizen?"

we did... twice...

"He has just passed a bill that extends to him and his family protection, around the clock and for life, by the Secret Service. He, evidently, feels that he is best qualified to determine his needs, and, of course, he is. As I am best qualified to determine mine."

OMG, the USSS is NOT protecting Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Carter, Clinton... but protects Obama?

"Why not then, for the love of God, have an armed presence in the schools? It could be done at the cost of a pistol (several hundred dollars), and a few hours of training (that’s all the security guards get). Why not offer teachers, administrators, custodians, a small extra stipend for completing a firearms-safety course and carrying a concealed weapon to school? The arguments to the contrary escape me."

Alternative idea: give the gun holding citizen a crush course in chemistry, so they can teach too... would be much better...

"The government, for example, has determined that black people (somehow) have fewer abilities than white people..."

that is unwarranted jab against black people that discredits this entire rant - not fewer abilities, but FEWER opportunities, that were put in place by the same laws that later were changed as not being adequate... now, the has come for the gun laws to change, as not being adequate - you can't continuously drag us in dark past, just because you were comfortable there... I was fine with rotary phones too, they worked fine... but, we all had to move...
