That's not quite credible, Bart. Suppose you opened a lethal weapons 
dealership and hung out a sign that said:

"Bart's lethal weapons.
Violence is our business."

I dare say you would not assemble an army and stash food and water so 
as to greet the law with a prolonged standoff lasting weeks. The 
arrest was badly bungled but there is something wrong when people 
behave the way the Waco Wackos did. Or the Crispy Critters as people 
were calling them after the fire. If Martha Stewart had shot it out 
with the police she would probably not be around to go play golf and 
shuffleboard at Club Fed. If she had not arrogantly reviled the 
bureaucrats for their "K Mart suits" and handled her case in a 
sensible manner she would still be boring people on television with 
that kitschy cooking show of hers. There are times when rational men 
set their arrogance aside in service to their own narrow self 
interest.

Spoken likea true Republican. If you don't have a case, just appeal 
to the facts. My, my, my.
