It's a Family Affair
This is absolutely priceless - something you will NEVER see on the pages of the Boston Globe.
From yesterday's edition of the Union Leader comes this story of Boston Mayor Tom Menino's worst nightmare: a 16 year-old with a gun. Remember from a couple weeks back, how Menino blamed the recent surge of gun violence in Boston on the availability of handguns. That's strange, I read this article and I see a perfectly adjusted kid showing his mother how to safely operate a 9mm pistol - and actually having fun doing it.
Oh, the horror! What kind of parent would give a child such a dangerous killing machine?
I won't bother cutting and pasting any snippets here, it's all good. You can (and should) read the whole piece. Here's the picture accompanying the story.

So that's what life is like in the United States of America. I'll have to experience that someday. All I have to do it seems is get the hell out of Massachusetts (yes, I'm still working on it).
