FutureWeapons

I swore this show off a while ago but I’m watching it now. Looks like they’ve changed formats a bit. The host isn’t whispering all the time and he doesn’t come across as “Look at me, I’m a Navy SEAL Sniper. Bask in my awesomeness!” like he did previously.

It’s not too bad now.

However, they’re doing “skits” now it seems. Staged missions and the like showing off the technology. That part sucks, but the back-and-forth with the weapons designers and such is right up my alley.

One of the things I just saw was the Corner Shot system out of Israel. Nifty idea. Not sure if it’ll pan out though. The funny thing is that they’re now putting stuffed cats on the gun that goes around the corner. I guess the idea is they’ll poke that around the corner, the target has a “WTF is a cat doing here?” moment and then they shoot them.

I’m having a WTF moment here myself.

Now, Wait a Minute…

Why in the hell is Bush sending Sullivan to the senate for confirmation? Ted Kennedy and John Kerry are all for it while both of Idaho’s Republican senators are against it.

Miami 7 Mistrial

Posted on December 14th, 2007 in Miami 7, Terrorism by Justin

Remember the Miami 7? You know, the terrorist plot that was broken up back in 2006, important enough for AG Gonzales to hold a press conference on.

First trial is over. One aquitted and the jury was hung on the other six.

I doubt we’re ever going to see a conviction from this. If we do then I’m going to wager nobody serves more than 1 year in prison.
