I'm definitely socially liberal (so, naturally, I like Rachel Maddow) but I'm fiscally moderate to conservative and I'm all for legal ownership of guns (because criminals don't follow gun laws anyway, so what's the point of limiting law abiding citizens from owning defensive weapons?).... Basically, I'm between parties, so as much as I like Maddow, I don't watch her show or anything on MSNBC or Fox because partisan news makes my head hurt.
Seriously though, this is going to through gun-activist into a tizzy. DOES.NOT.COMPUTE.
@palebluepixie: I've got no problem with people owning guns if they are responsible with them. I don't think taking assault rifles to town hall meetings is responsible, however, it is legal there.
Sometimes it doesn't seem fair that people can be that cool. Much like with Tim Gunn, I want Rachel Maddow to be my life coach. Much like with Tim Gunn, I'd like to take that relationship to a personal level. Yet none of us play for the same team. Oh. It is a quandry.
Have I stepped into some freakish alternate dimension where using money your kids made to outfit yourself with Ed Hardy makes a person attractive to multiple people? I have! I must have!
Kate has been so much more sympatheic this season. The cynical part of me thinks she's actively trying to rehab her image, but she's just so damn good at it, I can't tell if it's all for show. Maybe living with the ninth child really was what made her crazy.
@ccchild: I think you're right. She probably finds it easier to run the household her way, even if it is alone, rather than having Jon actively fight her every step of the way.
Kate: Okay, I want to get out of the house by 9! *goes to help 8 children get ready*
Jon: Okay, I'll sit on the couch in my underwear, at 9 I'll still be sitting on the couch, and then I'll tell you you're nagging.
@HighSchoolFearleader: Also hearted. I think she must be stressed in a different way now, but a way that maybe she can better cope with. I hope she gets full custody, because anyone who acts like the irresponsible asshole that Jon is shouldn't be allowed to raise kids.
Of note: the range where I shoot does not allow actual likenesses to be placed on the targets. You can put up the body-shaped ones but no up taping pictures of your ex or your boss or Rush Limbaugh.
Although if Kate is interested I know of a nice empty field where there are no such restrictions.
It seems like every other time she or he opens her mouth, they are talking about the tabloids. I can only imagine how awful getting hounded by the paps would be, but I think once that's the only thing you can complain about, you are really out of touch.
@AvgElitist: Well, that and the fact that her whole fairy tale broke. That's kind of a bummer, and pretty darned relatable. Even if she does have 5.5 more kids than the average family.

Since then, I've replaced shooting targets with throwing punches. Even MORE theraputic.

Hang a picture of my ex at a range, however, and I'm there.
