4. Your kitty doesn't have enough guns..
I think he/she needs to go out and get some more. You never know, there might be a loose Rottweiler in the neighborhood or something. :hide:

11. Well, it looks like the chimp will veto it anyway..
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 01:54 PM by Virginia Dare
but this was designed more for businesses, not individuals.

It makes sense, after all, there are some areas in the country that logically are much more prone to falling victim to one, i.e. Washington and New York for example, or any other major city.

13. More
Terrorism Risk and Insurance


Funny that the Repubs love to push terror, but vote against insuring protection.
