I love it.

You have to. As annoying as the whole Cindy Sheehan thing is to me, Bush's neighbor in Crawford is apparently even more upset. This cat is firing frickin shots into the air. And it's not because he thinks they don't have a right to be there, but because they're ruining the man's dove-hunting season:

Reporter: Larry, why did you shoot the gun?
Mattlage: Well, I'm getting ready for dove season and you all are still gonna' be here, I'm practicin'.
Reporter: Was there another message involved in the gunshot?
Mattlage: You figure it out for yourself.
Reporter: Are there any laws ...
Mattlage: No, in Texas, you can shoot ... I ain't threating nobody. I ain't pointing a gun at nobody. This is Texas.
Reporter: What do you want them to do Larry?
...
Mattlage: When they first came out here, I was sympathetic to their cause, right. They as American citizens have a right to march to protest. It is like this – it's like having company, if you have your brother-in-law at your house for five days, wouldn't it start stinking after a while. You are ready for him to go home, aren't you? Five weeks of this is too much. We live here. It's our community. Apparently we have no respect over here and we have no respect over here. Somebody has got to get together and clear it out. It's a damn shame. The news media has got to solve this dilemma. But we got a dilemma here. We got a battle of the porta-potties. You all got started out going to the bathroom in a five-gallon bucket. Then they moved one porta-potty in here. No we got two porta-potties. And now we have three and if this keeps up, it will be all the way down the road. And they've got more porta-potties over there (pointing at the Bush ranch). The only one winning here is the one cleaning the porta-potties.

I may be missing something, but how did he go from explaining his reasons for shooting the gun in the air to a fascination with porta-potties and the one who cleans them?

Sheehan annoys you? Not so much into dissent against our government as prescribed by the founding fathers? Just curious, counselor.

She has a right to act like an idiot in Crawford and I have a right to say I'm annoyed by it. Where's your confusion stemming from?
