I have to admit that the last landing of the shuttle Discovery was a sad moment for me, an exclamation point on America's -- or at least American government's -- retreat from greatness. As a child of the 1950s, one of the many kids who grew up on science fiction, the space program was dear to me and my friends. But I guess outreach to the Islamic nations is an important mission, especially if you have the IQ of a land slug.
I propose a new mission for NASA, one ideally suited to our reduced stature in the world...I say let NASA field a mission to the Mexican trucking industry,, helping them in their mission to destroy yet another American industry and make the roads even more terrifying than they already are. That way, NASA can hang on to more of their heritage, and once again we can hear those stirring words, "Houston, we have a problem..."
I note that the Jolly Pirates Club of the BATFE can no longer keep a lid on the "gunwalker" scandal. I have to admit that I was wrong...here WAS an "Iron River" flowing south into Mexico since 2008...I just didn't realize it was being controlled from the Jolly Pirates Club offices in Phoenix.

"Operation Fast And Furious"
"Operation Fast And Furious"...what the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives called their plan to allow a flood of guns into the narco-cesspool of Mexico.
In the wonderful and ultimately heartbreaking movie "The Crow," Brandon Lee as Eric Draven confronts the ruthless gang that killed him and raped and killed his beloved Shelly, gang members with names like Funboy, T-Bird and Skank.
"A whole jolly club," says Eric Draven, "with jolly pirate nicknames!"
And here we are again, the whole jolly club of the BATFE, with their jolly pirate nicknames, with real human beings' blood on their hands. Not the first time they held up their scarlet hands...Ruby Ridge...Waco...but this time the blood is a federal agent, Brian Terry, a man of honor, a man fighting a flawed battle in a hopeless war with insufficient tools because it was his job.
When will Congress step in?

Oh frabjous day!

Another Crazy Busy Day
Federal agent John Dodson says what he was asked to do was beyond belief.
He was intentionally letting guns go to Mexico?
"Yes ma'am," Dodson told CBS News. "The agency was."
An Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms senior agent assigned to the Phoenix office in 2010, Dodson's job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen.Oh please let the ZOMBIE season closer for SHOOTING GALLERY get finished! It's gonna rock, but it's a staggering amount of work. Snowing sideways here at the Secret Hidden Bunker, but it has been warm all week. I would actually like to see snow on the day we're filming...I like the claustrophobic feel of a snowstorm.
GREAT article on Gabe Suarez's WarriorTalk on "trunk rifles"...even though I'm thoroughly sick of "warrior" anything, but I urge you to read this article:
http://www.warriortalknews.com/2011/02/the-role-of-the-trunk-rifle.html
Please read the whole thing. Frankly, I'm not crazy about a "trunk" rifle...I'd rather have the long gun at hand. I'm big on a bag laced behind the passenger seat in a car that carries the gun and ammo, a system I've tried a couple of times and like.
I'm fiddling with a Winchester '94 .44 Magnum as a long gun for airline carry. Doug Turnbull has a really nice mounting system for a Burris red dot on a '94, and I like the idea of a long gun/revolver package for travel.
HERE'S A FUNNY POINT OF AGREEMENT...today BHo, the sad, pathetic panda masquerading as the President of the United States, said he really really really believes in the Second Amendment, but that doesn't mean the U.S. can't can't take steps to control the flow of arms into Mexico...amazingly, I agree with him! I say, ABOLISH THE BATFE! This from CBS News today:

Americans have died at the hands of weapons "walked" into Mexico by BATFE incompetence. President Obama...step up!

I Have Charlie Sheen's Twins!
And I'm going to sell them on eBay!
No, really...maybe it was all day scouting zombie locations for next week's filming. BTW, am hearing from Marshal out at GUNSITE that Ed Head was blown away by the little SIS SAUER 9mm. Read my friend Richard's piece in HUMAN EVENTS on the rise of the little 9mms:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=42007
That's definitely a trend I called pretty well...I can't wait to get the little Kimber SOLO 9mm!
Man, I am crazy busy doing television stuff, but it's all good. A clone might be nice, though. BTW, thank you for all the kind words on today's podcast...I liked it, too. And who knew there were that many Conway Twitty fans out there?

Sorry...computer issues...
Have actually been writing posts on my iPad with the BlogPress app, which I've used for over a year now both on the Pad and the phone. Strangely enough, the posts show as completed and posted, entered into the list of posts, the Twitter feed pings...and then they just disappear into cyberspace. They don't show up on the blog and the next time I open BlogPress they're not listed in the list of posts or drafts...hmmmmm....
Anyway, while I'm in a sour computer mood, I bought this Kensington carry case/bluetooth keyboard for my iPad...what a MASSIVE POS! Avoid this one at all costs...the keyboard won't stay linked to the iPad for longer than a minute or 2...amazingly annoying...will be sending this steaming pile back!
Been doing television producer-y stuff last couple of days...we need one more set of signatures before we can make all the formal announcements on GUN STORIES, including our host...and yes, we did go to Hollywood, a lot scarier than dealing with Libya, believe me! I'm also THIIIIIIIIIIIIS close to being able to make some great changes in SHOOTING GALLERY, things I've wanted to do for years. Am also actively pitching new shows, because, hey, I don't actually have anything to do...LOL!
Next week's vid podcast will be from the set of SG's soon-to-be-classic zombie episode...you guys are going to laugh big time! Marshal is covering for my pathetic ass at GUNSITE this week while I hands-on the zom episode. Our good pal Dave Biggers is running a pocket pistol event that I was really looking forward to, but Marshal's there with Ed Head sitting in for me (and no doubt doing a much better job!).
