Ignorant people writing the laws...

And ignorant people reporting about it. The NRA should fight this just because it's an example of ignorant people wanting to regulate something they are afraid of and clearly don't understand. They just know it's scary. And for them, that's enough. Laws based on ignorance are bad laws. Laws based on emotion are bad laws. They rarely, if ever, work as intended, and do tend to grind people up who get swept up in the hysteria. But that's okay, because, well, it makes the lawmakers...

Thanksgiving, 2012

This image shows a M1937 Field Range being used by WWII Soldiers on Thanksgiving. At Thanksgiving time, Sgt Louis S. Wallace, Meadville, Miss., prepares two of the many thousands of turkeys that have arrived from the states. U.S. Army Quartermaster Miami-Valley Veterans-Museum Lieutenants Tim and John Donovan both ate food cooked on M1937 Field Ranges and out of mess kits and canteen cups like that, wearing essentially those helmets, up into the late 80's.

Meanwhile, in other Blind Mice Media news...

Another story with curious handling... given the media-generated (and largely self-contained therein) furore over Senator Rubio's remarks... Dumb politician with silly name doesn’t know how old the Earth is. H/t, Jim Treacher.

Lindsey Stone, Epic Facebook Fail [Updated]

From what I’ve gleaned out of all this, she took a pic of herself being an ass . As much a simulated ass as anything, since I don’t believe she was actually yelling, there were no witnesses (at least none that I’m aware of) to it other than her buddy who took the picture.
