“Gun control is the idea that it’s better to see a woman dead in an alley, strangled
with her own pantyhose, than to see her with a gun in her hand.”—T.D. Melrose

¡JOE!
By A. Nonny Moose

Who kept the Rust-Belt rusty?

¡Joe!

Who, with your kids, ain't trusty?

¡Joe!

Who doesn't need 'em busty?

¡Joe!

As long as they're kids he's lusty.

¡Joe!

Who's best described described as "fusty"?

¡Joe!

That means the same as musty:

¡Joe!

His newest ideas are dusty.

¡Joe!

The back of his pants is gusty.

¡Joe!

He's just plain old and crusty.

¡Joe!

Don't Fence Me In
by L. Neil Smith
I first heard and saw karaoke performed in the 1993 Wesley Snipes/Sean Connery movie Rising Sun (yeah, I know, I don’t get out very much) which was part of the hysterical screaming that the Japanese were taking over everything, cruelly forcing perfectly good money on us, in payment for our crappy, ramshackle old assets. Soon, Japan, Inc. would own the United States of America! I pointed out that they were on the wrong side of a “nerd gap” in innovation between us, and I predicted they would soon go belly-up trying to catch up with us. And that’s just what they did.

Above Our Own Dignity

For over ten years, I’ve had the following quote pinned above my working computer, because having found it gave me one of those moments of “Somebody gets it.”

How to Beat the Red Flag Laws
by Paul Bonneau
The ruling class has discovered a new toy for themselves, the so-called Red Flag laws, by which a person's firearms may be confiscated when some other person deems that a good idea. They are so thrilled with this new toy that the laws are quickly spreading from state to state, with apparently no legislator having any qualms about adverse reactions from the voters. No doubt, as with all new expansions of government power, the first incidences of use of this law really will be against nut cases, and everyone will breathe a sigh of relief when some guy still fighting the Korean War in his mind, is relieved of his arms—never mind that the chance of being victimized by such a person is essentially zero. But order is preserved and government serves us again, yay!

Why Do Vampires Suck?
by Harding McFadden
I used to be a big fan of zombie books and movies. In the golden age of the 80’s, when they were still hard to find, and the ones that you did manage to get your hands on were still interesting. Sure, they almost exclusively payed homage to Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, but they at least went about it their own way. John Skipp and Craig Spector’s Book of the Dead comes immediately to mind. An incredible collection, it introduced me to such diverse talents as Joe R. Lansdale, David J. Schow, and Robert McCammon. And while it’s true that their follow-ups to this anthology never came close to reaching the greatness of the first, if they’d done nothing else with their careers than BotD, their place in genre fiction would have been cemented.

Calling Out Judge Andrew Napolitano
by Sean Gangol
After twelve years of writing for The Libertarian Enterprise, I have never shied away from calling out people who I thought were being disingenuous, whether they resided on the left or the right. I have even been willing to call out my fellow libertarians when I felt that they were being less than honest about a stance that they decided to take, just as I did with Reason magazine. Though I will say that I don’t take much joy in having to call out my fellow libertarians. In this particular case, it absolutely pains me to have to call out somebody that I have had nothing but admiration for, since I read his first book. Unfortunately, this man has said many things that I feel to be disingenuous, so I can’t allow him to go unchallenged.

Cash In With "Gun Control" AND Support the Second Amendment
by Mike Blessing
Every gun should be a happy and wanted gun, adopted by loving owners who will care for it and feed it and make sure that there are plenty of other guns nearby to keep it company.

My Soap Box
by L. Neil Smith
I don’t exactly know how to say this without the risk of being misunderstood, but recent events and various conversations with my colleagues have convinced me that it could be important, so I’ll just say what I have to say, regardless of what it makes anybody think of me.
