April 12, 2009(from the creator of the BA-K-47)
We had our first annual Bacon Day this past Saturday. As a huge fan of bacon, and all the great bacon blogs out there, I decided it was time for me to make my own bacon creation. I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch… oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too.

Should be interesting to watch, and I hope ol’ Qari sticks it to Hairball. –Matt
Edit on 6/22/09: Hairball won, and Qari was just killed.

Baitullah ‘Hairball’ Mehsud.
The challenger, Qari Zainuddin.
Pakistan Taliban leader faces threat from fellow tribesman

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — A new Islamic militia leader has emerged in Pakistan to openly challenge al Qaida-affiliated warlord Baitullah Mehsud for the first time from within his own tribe, marking the start of a bloody confrontation in the wild Waziristan region that could have profound consequences for both Pakistan and the West.
In his first interview with a Western news organization, Qari Zainuddin told McClatchy this week that he’d wipe out Mehsud and rescue Pakistan from a reign of terror that has pushed the nuclear-armed U.S. ally toward collapse.
Zainuddin charged that Mehsud, who is the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, had betrayed both his Muslim religion and the Mehsud tribe of his native South Waziristan, which borders Afghanistan.
This is hilarious. I would have guessed that way more stuff was missing than this, and this is actually a pretty good report considering the circumstances. But the missing deep fat fryer is the best. Check it out. –Matt

Joint Audit of Blackwater Contract and Task Orders for Worldwide Personal Protective Services in Iraq
Sample Selection (from page 51)
Of the 550 items selected for verification under the two task orders, we veri-fied the existence of 536 (97 percent) of all property in the sample. This number consisted of 100 percent of the vehicles, weapons, and property valued at $25,000 or more. We verified 136 (91 percent) of the items in the “Other” category. The 14 items on the inventory lists that we could not verify are presented in Table 3.
Most Property Could Be Verified (from page 58)
“Such oversight was lacking for the ‘other’ category of personal property, in which we could not account for the 14 items (9 percent): four handheld radios, four body armor vests, two pairs of binoculars, one satellite phone, one body armor plate, on Global Positioning System, and one deep fat fryer.” (p.16)
FAGOR Deep Fat Fryer
The combined total in illicit narcotics seized since operations began three days ago stands at 92,271 kilograms, including 16,850 kilograms of black tar opium, 38 kilograms of processed morphine, 201 kilograms of processed heroin, 182 kilograms of hashish and 75,000 kilograms of poppy seeds.
Now that is a haul. Bravo to those who were involved with this one and way to stick it to them. The other part of this story that caught my eye was the multipurpose suicide/ammunition vests they captured. So let me get this straight, the booger eaters actually have manufacturers making dual purpose vests for the jihadist? That is funny.
