Keith Olbermann Revealed as Functional Illiterate
Tired crank Keith Olbermann reached a new low in weak-minded rhetoric in recent months with his doltish insight into the Second Amendment.

Russell Crowe as Maximus in the movie “Gladiator” was quite the deadly performer. I’m betting my season’s goose limit that Browning’s 12-gauge Maxus II shotgun is even deadlier.
