Girls with guns: The Drexel Institute Girls Rifle Team
By Jack Brummet, 2nd Amendment Ed.
This is a photograph of The Drexel Institute Girls' Rifle Team, circa 1925. Drexel, in Philly, later became (and still us) Drexel University.
My high school, Kent-Meridian, had a Rod & Gun Club, but we were (back then) a farm town. How about your school?

I wonder if they still have these clubs? I remember people bringing rifles to school, and--I think I remember--their teacher locking them up until they were going out. I don't know where they went to shoot ( I don't remember any [fishing] rods, just guns).
Maybe they went out to the gravel pits, the powerlines, or Ravensdale, Buckley, Hobart, or Cumberland. Those were pretty normal places to go shoot, drink beer, just escape from adults, or smoke pot.

The Paul Ryan/Speaker of the House Beard Controversy
By Jack Brummet, GOP-Tea Party Ed.
Some of the GOP-Tea Party are not happy with the Speaker's beard. The last bearded Speaker was in 1911.
The old guard are either shaking their heads mournfully, or filling their Depends™, thinking fruitcake, hipster, queer, pinko, commie, beatnik, or n****** in the woodpile.

Mass shootings: what are we waiting for?
By Mona Goldwater, Social Mores Ed.
Sure, we can wait for the Man Upstairs to swing into action, but he's been slow on the uptake.
