Another heroic member of our well-regulated militia has valiantly stood up against our tyrannical government.

Re: Only in America
After Sputnik, the US was terrified that the USSR had stolen a technological march on them. So, they hatched a cunning plan to nuke the moon: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-17/ ... k/11220340
Hope nobody tells Trump about the idea - he might revive it...In the late 1950s, Washington set in place a secret operation to examine the feasibility of detonating a thermonuclear device on the surface of our closest celestial neighbour.
The idea behind the project was ambitious, but simple — to create an explosion and lunar mushroom cloud so awe-inspiring and unavoidable that no matter where you lived on planet Earth, it would be impossible to ignore the extent of America's military and technological might.

Meth gators! 
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
