I was searching for the latest stuff on the Virginia Tech shooting to help get the VT thread back on-topic and off the "American Guns: Bad" is/ain't slapfight tangent it had wandered onto.

No such luck.  😛 I stumbled across this little thing:  an 82 year old former beauty queen showed a talent that's probably never been showcased in the pageant before:

Pistol shooting.

I'm guessing that the reference to the slapfight was partially aimed at me?  Guilty as charged, your honour.  Mind you, if you look at the final few posts, you'lll see that I did try to do my bit to nip the adversarial atmosphere in the bud, although others admittedly did more than I.

As for Ms Ramey; what an amazing lady!  My admiration for her determination, fortitude and got-getting approch to life in an era when women were expected to be housewives and not trouble themselves with such male matters as politics is near-unbounded.  That grit and determination obviously helped her through this incident.
