I’m Asking You Internet. Can You Really Shoot a Guy 8,000 Feet Away?

This is a picture of Craig Harrison.
He is a British corporal of horse.
He killed a guy from 8,120 feet away.
On purpose.

Now I ask you Internet.
What the hell is a “British corporal of horse?”

And setting that aside for a moment… can a man-held weapon really shoot 8,120 feet?

"The first round hit a machine-gunner in the stomach and killed him outright,"

"The second insurgent grabbed the weapon and turned as my second shot hit him in the side. He went down, too,"

Really? Would the weapon look something like this? Except the barrel would have to be bent upward to account for gravity and physics and all that stuff I never learned?

The most high-powered weapon I have fired is a .22 rifle at rats around the corncrib about 15 feet away.
No shotguns. No pistols.
I need to add that to my to-do list.
Shoot weapon.
Even better: Shoot bazooka.

Luke Russert Starts Trend, Jenna Bush Follows: Pathfinders for Ayla Brown

Posted: 05 May 2010 07:19 AM PDT

Because NBC has done so well with the spawn of Tim Russert, Luke, and the offspring of Dubya, Jenna BushCBS has snagged Massachusetts Republican  Sen. Scott Brown’s 21-year-old daughter Ayla Brown.  She has graduated from American Idol, but has yet to earn a college degree, to be a correspondent for the CBS Early Show.

From American Idol to CBS Morning News

Ayla Brown is still a student at Boston College and from her qualifications, will  serve CBS News in a most capable fashion:

  • she’s hot
  • she’s a basketball jock
  • she’s connected
  • she’s hot
  • she is in college
  • she was on American Idol
  • she’s hot
  • she has a Mom who is a Tee Vee reporter
  • she has been a radio jock
  • she’s hot
  • she is the “Anthem Girl”

… she has sung “The Star-Spangled Banner” at dozens of events. The most notable venue at which she has performed the anthem was the 33rd annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Esplanade alongside Boston’s Charles River on July 4, 2006. The performance garnered national attention and was watched by hundreds of thousands both in attendance and on television.

CBS says they have the next Katie Couric in Ayla Brown…

“You can’t create the next Katie Couric,” executive producer David Friedman tells AP. “You just have to find talent that you think can develop into something.”

Tell me again that network news isn’t entertaining?
