Commenter on the Remington 870 as the “Ultimate Zombie Gun” (see earlier post) states his preference for the Maverick 88, and his reasons why. Here are pictures of his preferred model of the Ultimate Zombie Gun and a review of the Maverick 88–The “Mexican Mossberg.” Thanks to commenter “Fathead” for the info.

Irony Lost On the Idiocracy |
Sunday, October 31st, 2010 |
President Obama doesn’t know why hecklers think bad behavior is a “useful” tactic. The Democrats have long encouraged demonstrators to act out, act up and act badly and now they just can’t comprehend what to do when they are the target of hecklers.
In this video, President Obama reaps what he and his Democrats have sown. (Skip on into it by a minute or two.) (more…)

The Law of Unintended Consequences Kills This Time: The Income Tax Motive to Die–Soon |
Sunday, October 31st, 2010 |
One more reason among many why the federal income tax should be abolished.
MJM identifies a handful of issue positions as all you need to know about a candidate. I refer to these as The Index Issues. Not all conservatives, or libertarians, or constitutional republicans, or patriots will agree 100%, but, you can tell much about a candidate if you know the stated positions, or voting record on: (more…)

Scare at Texas A&M Dialed Down: “Weapon” Is Replica AK-47 |
Friday, October 29th, 2010 |
In this odd story, a man was arrested yesterday at the Texas A&M campus, carrying what appeared to be an AK-47. President and Mrs. Bush were scheduled for an event there. A bus driver reported seeing a man carrying a weapon. The weapon turned out to be a replica.
This reminds me of my nephew finding a SWAT team in his yard. A passerby reported “Man with gun” in his house and somebody was eager to over-react. The “man with gun” was my nephew, holding a 3 foot level, putting up curtain-rods.
When I was in college, during the days of mandatory ROTC, it was not at all unusual to see cadets with M-1 rifles walking around. Times have definitely changed.

Ultimate Zombie Gun |
Friday, October 29th, 2010 |
SWAT Magazine December 2010 arrives just in time for Halloween, running an article by Will Dabbs called “Ultimate Zombie Gun: The Case for the Remington 870.” The fun title belies the quality of the article’s content, reviewed here.

Gun Porn: For When Open Carry is Accepted |
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 |
As the non-shooting culture gets acclimated to the visible presence of firearms, this baby–The Swiss-made Brugger & Thomet TP-9 –will help take the process of desensitization to the next level. I post this only because this is one not often seen and they have my next purchase (Aimpoint Micro sight) on it. One for your charcoal gray suit, one for wearing with khakis, one for jeans and that black turtle neck.

Liberal Gene Found: Natural Selection Gears Up |
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 |
While I am on natural selection, I offer this story on the liberal gene as great comfort. Natural selection appears poised to improve the species.
There is so much material for humor here. For example, how about a picture contest? Is there also a “conservative gene” and what would it look like?
I am suspicious that this is a lot like the notorious “F” scale designed by biased leftoids to be insulting to non-Marxists.

World’s Fastest Computer: China v Tennessee |
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 |
Tennessee, you lost to Alabama–again–and now this Chinese computer makes us second place. But, there’s no need to worry. Competition keeps us keen and we are working our way back to #1. In supercomputers, that is. Besides, it’s a bit like squirrel hunting with a .50 BMG anyway. All that power, wasted on vain efforts to justify global warming research grants.
Want some humor in this? One of our scientists wrings his hands over this harbinger of Chinese dominance, replacing American dominance in the supercomputer field. The scientist’s name?
“What is scary about this is that the U.S. dominance in high-performance computing is at risk,” said Wu-chun Feng, a supercomputing expert and professor at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
I can’t help it. I think that’s funny.
(P.S. Dr. Huang, we are glad you are here. I suspect the machines at Oak Ridge are doing a bit more than spinning their chips crunching masses of “climate change” data.)

Whimsical “Wolf Extinction” Footnotes |
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 |
If we are just the current end stage of an evolutionary branch–just noisy stuff that somehow got animated, then we are nature. If we are nature, then everything we do is nature. Concrete is nature. Asphalt is nature. Even surgically enlarged breasts are nature! So, if ants “clear” some ground to mound up a hill, that’s nature. And if humans seize some “habitat,” and clear some ground to plant corn, that’s nature too. May the better species win, since that’s just natural selection at work.
And, if I cut down trees to clear a firing range, that’s not only nature: that’s sublime!
