The anthropomorphic 1975 Chevy Van (doors do not lock, some interior odor) known as Ted Nugent has once again said some stupid things very loudly without the added benefit of respectable guitar work, braying at last weekend’s NRA convention that President Barack Obama is “vile” and “evil,” and that if he is re-elected, “I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

Imagine the long line of posts from TCF if I'd said something like, "I don't know enough about guitarists to assess Nugent." Yet, when I give a response showing I'm not completely clueless he stays silent. Whatsamatta, TCF, kitten got your tongue, or just shocked into silence that I had an answer for you?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Rocker and wildlife hunter Ted Nugent has agreed to plead guilty to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in southeast Alaska. Nugent made the admission in signing a plea agreement with federal prosecutors that was filed Friday in U.S. District Court...The plea agreement says Nugent illegally shot and killed the bear in May 2009 on Sukkwan Island days after wounding a bear in a bow hunt, which counted toward a state seasonal limit of one bear.link
