Too bad they didn't have any bullets at the 'last' inaugural. You know......Mr. Hanky's second term.

Sure hope they ain't got live rounds...

Only thing more dangerous than a Nat'l Gaurdsman with a Loaded weapon is a new Lieutenant with a map and a Compass!

The CA NG will NOT have bullets.

The will have water guns filled with latte. Spraying the rioting crowds with double shot latte should calm them right down.

No. red cross and fema could come and hand out nice cups of latte. that is much more civilized. maybe they will spray chemtrails of prozac just prior to the festitivies.

Ooooo Greybear!

Yum.

(Sorry Sally, this is not to belittle the D.C. announcement. At least they're "talking." In CA there's still... quiet.)
