This is one of the shooters on season 3 of 3gun Nation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkGYTf5plEY&feature=youtube_gdata_player  Craig is a friend of mine. His competition jersey actually has an MHI patch on it.

We got started in competition shooting about the same time and shot a ton of matches together. Back in ye olde tymes I could actually beat Craig once in a while. However, now he would crush me. 🙂  I am amazed how quick he has gotten.  Craig is a superb shooter and all around nice guy.

Yes. A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for cancer.

Heart rending, huh? Very emotional. However, there is one teensy tiny factual problem with the ad, as in it is mostly bullshit. And you know it is particularly bad when even CNN is calling shenaigans.

Apparently a “short time” is 5 years.

So dude’s company (which is so inefficient that it is paying him 2x the salary and benefits that he is qualified for since he could only find work as a custodian), gets bought by Bain two years after Romney left Bain’s management to go run the olymics. Dude gets laid off. His wife still has health insurance. A couple years later his wife loses her job. Husband still doesn’t have insurance. Three years after that she gets cancer and dies.

Compare the actual timeline to how the ad portrays it. In the ad, Mitt Romney laid him off, and then they didn’t have health insurance and his wife died. The only references to the timeline are “a short time” and 22 days, which makes it feel urgent and sudden, which accentuates the emotional impact.

That is some shallow manipulative BS right there.

Paul just send me a jpeg of the cover. The gunslinger is from my friend Pat Tracy’s story.

So, how good are the preorders for the signed edition of Monster Hunter Legion?  Well, I’ve already did this many once before a few months ago. Apparently those are all presold, so now I need to do this stack. Each one of those is autographed and then bound into the front of the signed edition of the book.

This is how far I made it last night. That was done during the movie Chronicle and the first half of Harry Brown.

Yes. It is a pretty awesome problem to have. 🙂  Tonight I get to sign the rest.

Because a blog isn’t the best place to ask questions, Steve Long set up a forum over on Hero Games for the MHI role playing game. If you’ve got any questions about anything, you can go ahead and post them over there.
