MAKES A PERFECT GAG GIFT.

Look what you can get for as little as $1,699:
Join Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit and one of America’s foremost Second Amendment Scholars, Dana Loesch, author of Hands off My Gun as well as Steve Green, Ed Morrissey, Mark (Rip) Rippetoe, Roger Simon, Helen Smith and Kevin Williamson for a weekend dedicated to the Second Amendment. 
In addition to scintillating seminars we will exercise our 2nd Amendment rights at a luxurious hunting and shooting retreat. Rough Creek Lodge not only has world-class hunting and shooting opportunities, but a wide range of other activities available to our guests. 
Because of a very low speaker to guest ratio (1:9), guests will have the opportunity to schmooze, eat, drink, ride ATVs, go zip lining, shoot model rockets, use the golf driving range, hunt and shoot with our speakers.
A weekend at a richie resort with the worst people in the world! Not sure why they're booking so far in advance, though -- by December the Obama apocalypse may have come, and all the deposits will have been made in worthless government fiat scrip. (There is, believe it or not, no provision to pay your way in gold or bitcoin.) Know what else seems wrong? Check out the "free activities":
Zipline And Rock Climbing
Watch A Movie
Catch And Release Fishing
"Catch And Release Fishing"? What is this, some eco-Nazi love-in? Real men and their ladies' auxiliary catch those suckers and stare them down as they thrash out their last breaths! Also:
Petting Corral
Come on, now. There's also a shitty blog ("I couldn’t wait to leave NYC when I graduated law school. In California I met my first real gun owners"), but maybe you just want to wait for the police reports.

    "Because of a very low speaker to guest ratio (1:9)...."

    Is that another way to say, "we're predicting a pretty low turnout because most of our most ardent gun nuts are unemployed?"

    Pre-diminished expectations save a lot of explaining later.

    Since this is "Bullets and Bourbon," I'm betting that the petting corral will be cancelled on Day Two, because of what happens on the evening of Day One.

    Picture a bunch of middle-aged men flirting with Loesch while Frau Herr Doctor Doctor Smith-Reynolds smolders in the corner like the ash of a bitter herb and plots her next book about the castration of the American Male (by liberals). Meanwhile the paying guests force themselves to attempt to zip line because it's free and they want what they paid for dammit.

    As the rest of the pundits drink, smoke and eat their money's worth, Reynolds and Willamson take their guns into the woods with the beater, the porters, the drinks cart, and several highly insured huntsmen. The men joke about "doing a Cheney on liberal punks" while the guests fantasize shooting the two in the back and sailing off into the sunset with a bikini-clad Michelle Malkin.

  69. I once attended one of these eat, drink, fish an’ shoot ‘em ups and it was entertainin’ as all get out. It was back in the days when ol’ Dubya’ was joyridin’ the US Homeland Humvee, a pint of Wild Turkey between his legs, a cigar between his lips, a mad crazed look in his eyes with Condi Rice ridin’ shotgun as he drove the country right off the cliff. Good times, good times.

    I actually got to go fishin’ with Dubya and good ol’ Dick Cheney on that trip, and I got the distinct impression Dick liked nothing more than to fish with his boss simply because Dubya didn’t know which end of the pole to hold. I remember every time the president lost another fish Dick would holler, “I guess the fish is the decider, George, and he decided to swim away!” Then Cheney would cackle kinda’ like that Lon Chaney character in them old black and white movies. Once Dick asked Dubya if he knew
    what the difference was between a dry fly and a wet fly, and Dubya’ smirked and said, “Well shoot! Of course I do! A dry fly is when I look at Condi and a wet fly is when I look at old pictures of Peggy Noonan! Hehehehe.” That ol’ Dubya has a real American wit.

    But it wasn’t all fun and games that day as Dick accidentally snagged Dubya in the nostril on a backcast. There was a lot of hootin’ and hollerin’ and even a few tears as the Secret service boys tried to pull that hook out. I remember one of ‘em asked Dick how the heck he could even fly cast usin’ a goldarn hook so big, and a treble hook to boot, and Dick just muttered sumpin’ about how in Texas everything is big and a man’s gotta’ be prepared. Well, someone finally found a pair of pliers and crimped the barbs and they were able to slide it right out like shit through a goose, and then Dick managed to lighten the mood when he cracked, “Geez, Mr. President, now you can get a nose ring like all those fairies have in New
    York city!” We all guffawed at that one, even Dubya, kinda’.

    A little later me an’ Dick were downstream of everyone else and I mentioned to him that I noticed he really seemed to enjoy doin’ a little fishin’ with Dubya, and Dick told me there was nuthin’ he liked better, but that his doctor had told him he had to give up these outings with Dubya on account of his ticker wasn’t up to it. Just then we heard some commotion
    upstream and saw that Dubya has taken a wrong step and fallen into the crick, where his chest waders had filled up and he was driftin’ down towards us “gesticulatin’ like a bronc buster astride a horse he out notta’ mounted,” as Dick described it. Dubya swept past us with the Secret Service men swimmin’ an’ wadin’ an’ splashin’ in awkward pursuit and as they all went around a bend in the river Dick turned to me, dried his tears and said, “It’s a shame I have to give up these trips. I enjoy
    nothing more than lazy hot afternoons, perfectly presenting a Caddis fly to the head of a pristine pool, the burble and swirl of a lazy river and in
    background, somewhere out of sight, hearing our president shriek, “Dang! them hooks is sharp!” I’ll really miss it.”

    So yeah, I been on one of these here outings and I’m here to tell ya that they’re real galvanizin’, a chance for like-minded people to get to know each other better, do a little huntin’ and fishin’ and relaxin’. It’s good for our souls, good for our leaders and thinkers, and good for America, God bless ‘er, and all of us

    2. Pass laws to protect The Gun from non-worshippers.
    3. Perform public rituals to worship the power of the gun, such as carrying it around on display in public.
    4. Gather together to ritually demonstrate the awesome power of a gun by using it to end life.

    There is, but you have to sign an apology letter to Dick before he shoots you. There was a prior kerfuffle and so they've tightened up the requirements apparently.

    Roy and the Bullets-and-Bourbon lady have both blogged about American Sniper. The difference is that I can believe Roy actually saw it. All she can tell us is that there are guns in it. Thanks, never would have figured that one out.

    The minor tragedy is that that initial response was sent in error. The Governor, who had been emailing back and forth with her speechwriter, inadvertently sent Prof. Reynolds her opening line to her unforgettable Iowa Freedom, Faith and Family Fantasia speech.

    This seems to confirm suspicions that the gun nuts are actually a suicide cult. After all, what else would be the underlying attraction in paying big money to go to an event advertising guns and booze at a gun range where someone went bonkers and shot and killed two people?

    If his first thought isn't that he wasted his life on thirty years' worth of useless drudgery and robotic repetition, he's not telling the truth. And if his second thought wasn't that the equipment was smarter than he was, he's definitely lying.

    Rippetoe is actually very well respected in the fitness field; his Starting Strength program is solid, and used by a lot of people that otherwise wouldn't associate with anyone who associated with wingnuts. (I first heard about it on MetaFilter, which is not exactly a hotbed of conservatism, to put it mildly.) It's a good program for people who want to develop strength but don't want to get wrapped up in the Crossfit quasi-cult or bodybuilding techniques, which are about as applicable to regular folks as Formula 1 driving skills are to a high school drivers ed class. I can't tell you how dismayed I was to find out that he was posting stuff on PJ Media.

    If Brownback is knowledgeable, then he must be malicious.

    He has nearly destroyed the economy of the state of Kansas through his polices of substantially decreasing income taxes and completely eliminating the state’s tax on corporations.

    If he truly was knowledgeable, then he knew how disastrous his policies would be. If he wasn't knowledgeable, then he just didn't know any better. So we flip the "Stupid or Evil" coin once again, like we so often do when Republicans are allowed to enact policy.

    Flip that coin into the air! Stupid or evil or stupid or evil... who can tell?
