Best Shit Hits the Fan Gun Guide Yet

Everyday, No Days Off did a great service by posting a guide for SHTF guns. It’s very detailed and accompanied by some of the best research found on the Internet. Take for instance:

Unfortunately, none are available with a pistol grip. If Napoleon’s Mosin had a pistol grip, he may have very well conquered the world, but that’s another discussion. Other “carbine” type Mosins are also available, which would be the perfect compliment if one’s SHTF plan includes charging at bad guys on horseback while wearing a fur hat, swinging a curved saber and swilling a bottle of vodka.

The Brady Bunch May Need a Bailout

Some positive news via Snowflakes in Hell. Apparently the Brady Bunch are hard up for money, at least it appears that way since they shot out over four Twitter posts in one day begging for money. If you want to see them you’ll have to head over to Snowflakes in Hell because I refuse to give those bastards at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Your Rights any link love.

Also pointed out is the fact many of those who follow the Brady Bunch Twitter feed are more likely to donate money to pro-gun organizations. See some people only follow the Brady Bunch to see what they’re up to, which apparently begging for money.

This Could Be Stock With Investing In

You know those Somali pirates sure are trying their best to become professional. They’ve not opened up a stock market of sorts. From the article:

In Somalia’s main pirate lair of Haradheere, the sea gangs have set up a cooperative to fund their hijackings offshore, a sort of stock exchange meets criminal syndicate.

You can invest in the pirates and you gain part of their profits, much like stock markets here. As we know generally accepted maritime rules do not allow ships to sail armed so they’re easy pickings for pirates. This means piracy will not be going away anytime soon. Unlike everything else on the planet this could actually get stock market where you can make money.

Deer Hunt Themselves for You

This kind of story can only occur in the area where I grew up (Viroqua, WI is very close to my home town in southeastern Minnesota). A deer picked a fight with the wrong elk costing that daring deer it’s life. From the story:

A love-struck buck ran out of luck a week ago. The seven-point buck was killed when it rammed a 640-pound concrete statue of an elk in the backyard of Mark and Carol Brye’s home in rural Viroqua.

That’s right deer will hunt themselves for you. Yes after it’s death the deer was tagged:

Brye claimed the buck with a tag from the Vernon County conservation warden. He laughed at the warden’s tag note: “lawn ornament fight – lost.”

This even is a reminder that humans aren’t the only species Darwin’s ghost is watching over. But on a serious note the challenging deer did get a good strike against the elk:

“The statue is OK, but the antlers broke off when it tipped over,” Brye said. “One side of the antlers is in one piece, but the other side is in five pieces.”

Seriously this story is too funny.

The Real Terrorists

We have billions of dollars being spent every year on homeland security. All this money is being spent to fight the terrorists that are so frightening we passed the PATROIT Act.

But alas we’re not targeting the actual terrorists. The ones who damage of power infrastructure and deny American citizen’s their God given right to life, liberty, and television. That’s right I’m talking about squirrels.

A hat tip goes to Bruce Schneier’s blog for this little tidbit of information.
