Friday August 2, 2013  Idea I probably won't do anything with:  A proposed US constitutional convention to clarify the Second Amendment; supported by groups with rather different ideas of what "the right to bear arms" should mean.

And found myself thinking about adding functional constituencies to Congress.

***Never let it be said that American politics is a few clowns short of a circus.

Quote of the Day
"We all are freaky. He just exposed his freaky-ism in the wrong way."

-- Jimmy McMillan of The Rent is Too Damn High Party, quoted by Politicker, endorsing Anthony Weiner in the New York City mayoral race.

For those who don't keep up with such news:  Anthony Weiner sent x-rated messages (in some of which he exposed himself) to various women.  Some of them after he had supposedly stopped doing so.
