		<description>Just talked to the most politically knowledgeable cab driver I ever met on a trip out to DFW, where I am now. 

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and just became a U.S. citizen. Knew Minnesota politics like he grew up there. 

He said he was always fascinated that people in public life could hold divergently different political views and still be civil and friendly with each other. He said it would never happen in Nigeria. 

But he doesn&#039;t like the tone or the fighting that&#039;s going on now. He blames talk radio. He went to Town Hall meetings in the Dallas area last month. Thought they  were distressingly sad.

		<description>Bixby makes a point about this incident. It looks like Mr. Hendrickson might be just a little crazy, but not major pyscho crazy.

He was never close enough to the President to be a real threat to him, but if he was a real nut job, and listening to the voices in his head say &quot;punish them all,&quot; he was in, as we used to say in the military, a &quot;target rich environment.&quot;

But as a commenter on MinnPost noted, this guy&#039;s 15 minutes are up, time to discuss other news.</description>

		<description>Noodleman, I don&#039;t understand having a gun for protection but locking it up from your kids. It seems like that&#039;s not going to help you when a robber comes in.

My suggestion: lock up your kids and leave the gun unlocked on the bedside gun rack.

Because, honestly, what good is your kid running around going to do when a robber comes? It&#039;ll probably make them more mad, endangering you AND your kid. Plus, that bedside gun rack looks so awesome. I&#039;ve heard other people say that. I&#039;ve never heard anyone saying &quot;man, your kid running around, getting into stuff they shouldn&#039;t, looks so awesome!&quot;

		<description>Um, anyone who brings a gun to an obama rally protest in protest of, among other things, Obama taking a way his or her gun scares me.

Why?

Because, I question how well gun training got through to them since they obviously can&#039;t get it through their heads that Obama isn&#039;t and has no interest in taking away their guns. So, right there I know I&#039;m not dealing with the best judgment AND I know they have a gun.

And they&#039;re probably racist, also.

But mainly the first part.</description>
