Some how this firearm came into existence and then was discontinued all without me noticing:

It’s a semi-automatic revolver called the Mateba Autorevolver. It uses the explosion from each shot to automatically rotate the cylinder and cock the gun. I don’t know why I think that’s awesome, but I just do. I like semi-automatic pistols and I like revolvers, so why not combine the two? Plus the cylinder is upside down (the barrel is aligned with the six o’clock chamber) which is just neat.
Interestingly, there were automatic revolvers back at the turn of last century, but they went out of popularity when semi-automatic pistols became cheap and reliable. I guess there’s no reason to return to automatic revolvers as I’m guessing the inner-workings are far more complex than either a revolver or a pistol (and thus there is more to go wrong), but for some strange reason I think it’s really cool. And I want it.

While Senator Obama has been preaching a heavy anti-NAFTA message in America, apparently a representative from his campaign assured Canadian officials not to take those threats against NAFTA seriously. Obama says this isn’t true and even released this statement:

I urge you, the American people, to not listen to those dirty, lying canucks. I hate free trade. Let me say that again: I hate free trade. And if some beer-swilling, hockey-nut tell you otherwise, it is because he is trying to derail hope and change. Why would Canadians do that? Because they want to stop me from ending NAFTA so they can get their filthy hands on your jobs. If they have their way, soon all our products will be imported from Canada and smell of moose urine. And let me tell you, that is one pungent smell.

This could be damaging to the Obama campaign, because if its found out he says one thing to one group and another to a different group, it makes him seem much less hopey and changey. The only thing is this is not the first time he’s tailored his message based on what group he is speaking to. Here are other examples:
* A representative of his told a Muslim group to ignore all those time he denies being a Muslim while he told a Jewish that he totally is not in any way a Muslim… plus his middle name is really Shlomo. Later, Obama told a Christian group that not only is he not a Muslim, he loves the Jesus… except for His right-wing stances.
* Obama told a pro-life group that he is personally against abortion and then the next day told a feminist group that no baby will survive his regime.
* Obama told a militant black group that he “hates honkeys.” This right after publicly expressing honkey tolerance.
* A representative of his has started spreading the rumor with gay groups that Michelle Obama is a beard.
* Another representative of his told a goth group that all his “hope” talk is just blather and he has just a bleak and depressing outlook on life as anyone else.
He’d probably contradict himself even more if he only had been in politics long enough to have more stances on issues to contradict.

If you’re wondering how the war is going (and who isn’t it), it’s now changed all our troops from baby-killers to puppy-tossers. The surge is a failure, unless you measure its success in the distance a puppy is thrown. I think this is all the evidence needed that we must end the war now and bring them home.
Then again, if we bring them home, they’ll just toss our puppies. Maybe we should bring them somewhere else like Antarctica. They could toss penguins there, but who cares. Plus, if they made videos of that, they could be pretty entertaining if they got Morgan Freeman to narrate them.
