"That's Not Good Enough," You Say. "Biff, I Want More of the Funny." Okay, Let Your Mouse Pointer Rest on Any of the Pictures for Some Pop Up Goodness


Pro-gun Democrats did better in the midterms than probably any other class of politician, but the National Rifle Association is not in the business of reflecting moderate political reality. The NRA lives off memberships, and the standard card-carrying member has two enemies: Democrats and … deer, most likely.

But even loyalists go soft, as the GOP learned last month, and you need some Grade A propaganda to get people riled up again. Let no one accuse the NRA of shirking its duty. Freedom In Peril: Guarding the 2nd Amendment in the 21st Century, is a spectacularly beautiful graphic novel. Here, for example, is one of the biggest threats to the white suburban hunter: dirty hippies and their evil sidekicks: the dynamite-carrying owl, sinister pig, angry Wall Street bull, dire wolf, terror chicken and Land Lobster:


I know what you're thinking:

"The NRA has finally lost its mind, so much so that I'm embarrassed to continue to be associated with them and must now turn my back on the entire organization and the Second Amendment."


That's exactly what the hippies and owl-missiles and chickens want you to think.

One day we were listening to Howard Stern when he was on regular radio, SBD liked to listen to it before jumping out of the car during her first year of law school. Maybe it got her in the mood to bite the heads off live chickens, I don't know.

Anyway, some irate listener called in to complain about the content of the show and he famously said "this country is going to hell in a gay handbasket"; he was right!

Personally, a gay handbasket suits me just fine.
