A while back I discussed the optics of rainbows and showed you how to make your own; namely, what angle to stand at and how to use a hose.

But Republicans out there may not have liked all my hippie talk about reflections and refractions and want to be a little more proactive with their rainbow creation - like how it can involve a gun; luckily Kristi at the Endo Gun Blog has that covered.

That's right, it ain't gold in the pot at the end of that rainbow, it's plastic and brass.

Funny comment I saw over there; "Did anyone watch this and actually look at the rainbow instead of her ass?"  

Only Democrats.
