Get ready for the end times . . .

Between 44 percent of Republicans wanting to rise up in arms against the gubment, Obama zombie mannequin look alikes at the NRA Convention and a crazy dude opening fire on police with an AR-15 during a traffic stop, we now have for Right-Wing paranoid freaks - a pallet of food rations from Sam's club that will last a year.

Apparently, there's money to be made feeding off the fears of the paranoid. Hmmmm.

We ate MRE's for at least 3 weeks. They weren't too bad. I'm hardly prepared for an uprising, but for a hurricane? Uh, yeah, because it's common sense to do so if you live on the Gulf Coast.

Canned Lasagna and Cheese ravioli isn't exactly gourmet, either, but it certainly is easy enough to heat if you have no electricity and doesn't taste too bad.

It's common sense to have things on hand that require minimal preparation if you live in a disaster prone area.

similar crud, maybe a pink cricket. Or some accessories for the many who have AR15s - - maybe special sights for clearing rooms, training in shooting you neighbor at 1000 yards, undetected. Jeebus.

Bundle it a special price, and throw in some of the most lethal ammo available . A dinner with Big Jim Porter would be nice for some.
