Different cultures, different customs, or so the saying goes. The saying also apparently applies to rifle preferences for the world’s militaries, as the map illustrates.

According to Gizmodo the map seems to group weapons that are of a similar family together by color. Obviously, there are many, many more types of rifles than the ones shown on the map, but as Gizmodo notes, the “map gives a general gist of each military’s standardization.”   Continue reading “A Map of the World’s Weapons”

The Koch Brothers and other right-wing billionaires who provoked the government shutdown and now are angling for an even more devastating credit default see themselves as the people who deserve to rule the United States without interference from lesser citizens, especially those with darker-colored skin.

Their “masters of the universe” world view is that they or their daddies or their daddies’ daddies were the ones who “built America” and, thus, it’s their right to tear down the remarkable edifice of U.S. law, politics and economics created over the past two-plus centuries — if the country’s less-deserving inhabitants insist on raising taxes on the rich to fund programs benefiting the poor and the middle class.   Continue reading “The Koch Brothers’ ‘Samson Option’”
