Interviewer: Why in the hell would anybody want a Sherman tank?
Cmd. Sgt. Maj. Zack Carey: Because it’s very hard to shoot yourself while you’re cleaning it.
Societal Collapse
Watch this 14-minute documentary on the situation in Greece:
[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/50028620 w=500&h=281](Athens: Social Meltdown from Ross Domoney on Vimeo.)
Then go look at what’s going on in Greece right now.
And then read what the Greek Prime Minister is warning.
And this can’t happen here… why, exactly?
h/t to Bayou Renaissance Man for the link to the video. And by all means, read his entire piece, since he discusses also Spain, Italy, South Africa and Iran.
There are a bunch of international dominoes all lining up for what could be a spectacular fall.
What was it that Mostly Cajun said a while back? “Retire? I will probably get killed in the early battles of the coming revolution.”
Ouch!

Bowling Pin Match!
The October Bowling Pin match is Sunday the 14th. Usual place, the Tucson Rifle Club action range.
Time: 8:00 AM sign-up, first rounds downrange about 8:20. We should be done around 11. Weather should be beautiful.
Handguns only: .22 rimfire, centerfire revolver (.38 Special minimum), semi-autos (.380 minimum).
You’re welcome to shoot your revolver against the semi-auto crowd, but we think it’s more fun to shoot wheelgun-vs.-wheelgun.
Cost: $10 for the first gun, $5 for any additional guns. Bring about 100 rounds for each. You probably won’t need ’em all unless you’re really good at missing fast.
What’s a bowling pin match? This:

Hope to see you there!
Your Moment of Zen
Time for a new one.

Quote of the Day – Presidential Debate Edition
I haven’t had anything to say about Wednesday’s debate ’cause I didn’t see it, but I have to say that Jim over at The Travis McGee Reader has today’s QotD:
Okay. Obama presented a world view of free candy. Romney offered free ice cream. Obama promised to be a more compassionate Romney. Romney promised to be a more efficient Obama.
If there were any “world-view” differences, science has a serious challenge: develop an instrument sensitive enough to detect them.
The only one I can think of: “Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder.”
For Robb
Robb Allen has a birthday bleg.
I’m in. How about you?
Quote of the Day – Tam Brings the Snark
When the day comes that America has cattle cars and camps, the boxcars will have ads on the side and the prisoner’s uniforms will have sponsorship logos. (“Real Americans wear Nike when they get reeducated!”)
You KNOW she’s right. But only she would think it and write it down.
Remember When?
I watched an interesting interview of actor/producer James Garner from 1999 recently, and I’ve extracted three significant pieces from that interview that I wanted some feedback on. Please watch the short (2:50) video, and give me your thoughts. I’m really interested.
