Nuke the Moon: The Movie

As Harvey already posted about, there apparently there is going to be a short film on the government’s plan in the 50s to nuke the moon (trailer here). This is weird, because I was not consulted. I thought was the definitive authority on nuking the moon. But I noticed that if you put “nuke the moon” into Google, you can’t even find my essay now because of all the links to stories on the government’s plan to actually nuke the moon. It was the definitive piece from my blog for ten years, and now it’s like it’s forgotten.

Well, I did revisit nuking the moon in my new book, and I will continue to lobby for nuking the moon until it happens, because only then will we…

Wait, what was purpose behind nuking the moon again? I better reread that essay…

The Gun Control Flat-Earthers

So in the middle of a football game, Bob Costas goes on an anti-gun rant. It’s hard to even fathom what goes through the mind of an anti-gun person these days.

“Opinions on gun control have only gone one direction for the past fifty year no matter how much we hype each shooting tragedy, but if I spout a bunch of cliches everyone has refuted a jillion times, that will totally turn things around.”

Anyway, here’s a very interesting article on guns from The Atlantic. The author comes off as sort of anti-gun, but at the same time he plainly explains that if the goal in America is less death by gun violence, the only realistic solution that will work in this country is getting more people to carry. And he also takes on the gun control people for having faith-based positions that no longer exist in the realm of fact.

But in the end, we don’t have to convince the anti-gun people of anything. Because there are more of us. And we have guns.
