Headline informed us  -  


Suspected Komoda Dragon Found Wandering In New York
     Once again the media has come up short - the article never does say what they suspect the dragon of doing.

Headline  - 


"NRA Rewrites Classic Fairytales to Feature Guns."

     Daniel Uria recently wrote a report that was picked up by the UPI, which explains that the NRA in conjunction with children's author Amelia Hamilton has rewritten some fairytales that explain what might have happened if some of the players had had the use of guns, and of course had been through gun safety classes and all that. For instance, in the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, instead of Grandma getting swallowed up, which currently nobody seems to mind, how would the story have played out if Grandma had had a scatter gun close at hand. 
     In the rewrites, nobody actually gets shot or killed, as the guns are used only as deterrents, or for the hunting of good.
    My point  -  finally  -  as well done as these rewrites may be, and in light of the current anti-gun hysteria (that word might be a little strong), it seems to me that this action by the NRA is just a little like 'poking the bear.'
