A great song, made better still with butterfly eyebrow accoutrement:
This is an (overdue) Open Thread.

Liv Tyler's Dad (4.00 / 1)
Liv is the daughter of Steve Tyler of Aerosmith fame.

See the resemblance?

She was raised, for all intents and purposes, by Todd Rundgren.

I didn't know that (0.00 / 0)
I assumed Steven didn't raise her, but I didn't know about Rundgren.

Our hatted friend posted this link; fascinating and mildly alarming.

Here's a sampling of this success: Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Utah stopped businesses from barring employees from storing guns in cars parked on company lots....Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia made some or all handgun permit information confidential....Arizona, Kansas and Montana allowed handgun permits to be issued to people who have had their felony convictions expunged....Montana and Tennessee exempted weapons made and owned in-state from federal restrictions...Tennessee allowed gun owners to take firearms onto sports fields and playgrounds....Montana, Ohio and Texas joined 21 other states in passing the Castle Doctrine, the so-called Stand Your Ground Law, which allows people to defend themselves with firearms from intruders without criminal or civil consequences...and many legislatures allowed firearms to be carried in cars, made it illegal to ask job candidates if they own a gun, and expanded agreements that make permits to carry handguns in one state valid in another state.

My gun, your business (4.00 / 2)
My boss has no need to know if I own a gun, if it is not job related.

If s/he thinks I'm a threat, don't give me the job.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)
Here's the more alarming part.

Montana and Tennessee exempted weapons made and owned in-state from federal restrictions...Tennessee allowed gun owners to take firearms onto sports fields and playgrounds

None of this is linked, though, and I don't know how credible the site is.
