Spoof on “Big Bad John”!
The Ballad Of Irving - Frank Gallop
He was short and fat, and rode out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest.
He was mean and nasty right clear through,
Which was kinda weird, ‘cause he was yellow too.
They called him Irving.
Big Irving.
Big, short Irving.
Big, short, fat Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
He came from the old Bar Mitzvah spread,
With a 10-gallon yarmulke on his head.* [see below]
He always followed his mother’s wishes,
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sissy Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he,
But Irving was looking for one forty-three.
Walked into Sol’s Saloon like a man insane,
And ordered three fingers of two cents plain.
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sport Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

How is Illinois still 35?
I’m still waiting for my FOID card I applied for in December.
>Dang ... my beloved WEST Virginia ranks a disgusting, disheartening, disreputable “4”.
>What do we need to change for a perfect “0”?
NM got the same score.
I, too, am wondering what would need to change to get to 0.
Georgia scored 8 points, so we need some work.So he can "stealth" his way into national power and sign a national, permanent so-called-assault-weapons ban just like he did in Mass.
Massachusetts, formerly governed by Mitt Romney, scored 65 points.
Why is Mitt running as a Republican again?
The bill in AZ is dead as a doornail. Brewer got reelected, and no longer has to toe the conservative line. She vetoed that bill. I can’t drive on certain public streets in Tempe because I carry in my car, and that’s agin the law. Thanks Jan the Great.
