Remember this ammo-burner?
Friendly ol’ firearms guy goes dual-wield & has a grand old time.

An Idea Whose Time Has Come
During a panel discussion, a member of the Federal Election Commission suggested “imposing quotas” to get more women elected to political office.
Here’s a good quota: seat 100% of the women who get over half the vote.

Restricted
Illinois State Police have been given approval to use drones, but only “to photograph crash and crime scenes”.
Don’t worry. If Obama comes to visit, I’m sure they’ll be allowed to take emergency selfies.
Mystery Solved
Wait… Someone Likes Vanilla?
(Submitted by Veeshir [High Praise!])
I’m still trying to decide if this is very subtle satire, or someone who’s WAYYYYYYYY too passionate about ice cream flavors and easily offended.
Which means I’m torn between saying “Oh! How delightfully clever!”, and accusing the guy of blending puppies (because that’s what happens to bloggers who slight the powers-that-be at IMAO).
I, For One, Welcome Our New Computer Overlords
Stephen Hawking warned that computers will overtake humans in terms of intelligence at some point within the next century.

Perfect Solution
A new report shows that federal regulations end up costing Americans $1.8 trillion.
Sounds horribly inefficient. They should create a new government department to oversee that.

Chicago’s Doing Well Under Rahm
Moody’s has downgraded Chicago’s credit rating to “junk” status.
Chicago is actually relieved. They were worried they’d get rated “Detroit”.

Oh, and the big question for Kevin Koastie:
“OK, we’ve got elements of Buck Rodgers, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and now Star Wars all mashed together. I’ve got room for just one more action/adventure/fantasy/sci-fi franchise to lampoon at this time. Which should it be?”
I’m thinking either Babylon 5 or Planet of the Apes.
