The draft act says an imitation is a "reasonable copy" of a weapon that is not capable of causing death or injury. "If it looks like a gun and feels like a gun, it will have to be licensed," said a government source. |

| Today, Obama steered slightly away from his teleprompter. An occassion rare enough to warrant a breaking news moment. However, he used the moment to lament his feelings saying, regarding the GOP: I wanted to be stronger than it was before. And over the past two years, thats meant taking on some powerful interests.

Thats not in my prepared remarks, but its true. Please I wouldnt say something so insulting to my dog.... |

Blogs are proliferating with names like Creeping Sharia and Stop Sharia Now. A pamphlet for a "tea party" rally last weekend in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. asked:... |
