Ted Nugent Trivia!

And another thing, why does the AP article bear this line:

    Nugent is past president of the National Rifle Association and is known for his outspokenness.
No kidding! I think it would be more relevant, considering that he was on the phone with a rock and roll music station, apparently discussing rock and roll music, to mention:
  • Nugent is a former member of the Damn Yankees, who charted with the song "High Enough", which sounds like a Rave song, but given Nugent's eternally anti-drug stance is not about drug usage.
  • Nugent's solo career was built on musical hits designed composed to celebrate the human condition, particularly Procreative Drills, featuring several colloquial representations of male and female genitalia in the titles.
  • Nugent is the founder of Ted Nugent Kamp for Kids, an organization designed to train kids in safe hunting.
  • Nugent is the founder of Hunters for the Hungry an organization dedicated to providing meat harvested in hunts to homeless shelters.
Oh, but no. Nugent is the past president of the National Rifle Association.

I guess the point is a free-association of racial slurs, and those who would use them to denigrate (author insensitivity alert!) other races, with the National Rifle Association, whose stance on the Second Amendment runs counter to that of the author of the piece, the Associated Press in general, and "enlightened" people everywhere. The sooner those louts are tarred with the same pot of pitch, the better to round them up and pelt them with animal entrials--no, wait, they might like that.

And let's not let the facts step in front of an onrushing good Nexis-Lexis search phrase. Nugent's own biography does not list him as a former president, but he does sit on the board of directors at the NRA.
