My agent recently found this job for me (probably because of contract violations that the agency doesn’t wanna pay up on after being worked out in court).

New gun controls came into force last year under South Africa’s Firearms Control Act, but some weapons shop owners say high crime rates are pushing law abiding citizens to look for alternative means of defending themselves. Continue Reading ‘Fighting Crime the 11th Century Way….’

Ann Coulter asks “How many people have to die before the country stops humoring feminists?”

“I think I have an idea that would save money and lives: Have large men escort violent criminals. Admittedly, viagra 40mg this approach would risk another wave of nausea and vomiting by female professors at Harvard. But there are also advantages to not pretending women are as strong as men, such as fewer dead people. Even a female math professor at Harvard should be able to run the numbers on this one. “
