Women with big guns
No, really.
The Europeans are never going to understand this. Their loss.

Hah, I'd love to see the BBC report on it.
It would sound as if they were covering a newly-discovered remote tribe in New Guinea.

Actually, I had considered kicking this link around the blogosphere with the tagline, "I watched this, and said upon seeing it, this is the moment that I truly see that Obama is going to lose".
I rail against complacency and cockiness, but I stand by that statement.
Watch that video, and understand why Obama will lose.

'round these parts (Norway) there are plenty of women at the shooting range.
My niece's Christmas wish is a shotgun.
Don't underestimate the Europeans. Don't perpetuate stereotypes.

Just one data point, but my wife watched the video and immediately looked it up online with the intent on going herself sometime.

I'm wholly willing to concede that Norwegians are different breed of European. After all, there's that viking blood to consider.

Let's hear one more round of applause for the Vikings.

I, too, am willing to make an exception for the Norskis. My children are 25% Norwegian, after all.

Also, the Norwegians can drink more than just about any other European nationality. I have painful first hand experience with that some years back. The high taxes on alcohol in Norway don't seem to reduce consumption (price inelasticity). Moreover, they can ski wonderfully all day and then drink all night. And the women in Oslo are hot.

Replace 'The Europeans' with '80% of the Europeans' and I would have to agree with you.
