Outdoor commentary and legislative issues.
The Connecticut homeowner failed to scare the naked home invader off when his gun malfunctioned. So, he did the next best thing: He got another gun and this time it worked just fine. It can happen anywhere. See for yourself here…

The Humane Society of the United States was at the Indiana State Fair pushing a federal egg mandate that’s before Congress. That’s a tough task for a group that’s on the record as wanting to get rid of animal agriculture.

A little birdie emailed us the details:
Apparently, when Pacelle took to the microphone, the TV cameraman started panning the audience (or lack thereof) and packed up and left in the middle of his presentation. Must have been tough since all of the old tractors that are right there in Pioneer Village simultaneously (and completely coincidentally ;-)) were cranked up just as Pacelle took the microphone . . .
