Wanna see a fight?
I wonder how the availability of AK-47s and retired weapons of war contribute to acts such as piracy? Somalia seems to be a place where even the poor have AKs. What is the difference between starving Somalians with AKs and hungry Americans with AKs?

6. Remember when Colbert lost the Emmy

Remember?

5. At the end of the Viet Nam Conflict you could buy a M16
in Thailand for about 50 cents each, as one of our friends father said, " I should have bought two".
