The Discovery Channel had a Zombie Apocalypse marathon on last night to showcase a new series, ′Surviving Zombies′ and a new documentary, ′Zombie Preppers′. Surviving Zombies: The Apocalypse Field Guide, focuses on a company, Zombie Tools, started by three men, Max, Chris and Joey in Missoula, Montana. They primarily fashion blade weapons, mostly swords and spears, to give zombie hunters ′an edge′, pardon the pun, to deal with the undead when the bullets run out. In Zombie Preppers, we look into the lives of 4 people who are seriously preparing for a zombie apocalypse, as well as several egg-head PhDs who have ′researched′ the possibility of such a scenario. One fellow, Dr. Steven Schlozman from Harvard Medical School, really thinks that a zombie pathogen is a potential threat to humanity.

According to CBS News reporter John Miller, the Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, left a message in the boat he was captured in explaining why he and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, carried out their Boston Marathon attack. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev allegedly said in his note that the two brothers carried out their terrorist attack in response to the U.S. military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. That the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings were merely ″collateral damage″ and that ″When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims.″ The message was apparently written on one of the interior walls of the boat he had been hiding in after wounded during the gun battle in Watertown the night before his arrest. Was it a manifesto or a suicide note?

In a study that surprisingly proved an age-old stereotype about liberal men, scientists have found that conservative men are stronger. This explains, they say, why liberal men are more inclined to support government welfare programs, because they are unable to fend for themselves, while conservative men are more self-reliant.

A new salt study seems to show that there are no health benefits for a low sodium diet. In fact, such may have a negative impact on a person′s health. Two studies were published in the JAMA Internal Medicine online magazine this week concerning salt intake. One from the Institute of Medicine, commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claims that that there is no real reason to reduce salt intake below 2,300 milligrams per day. Although Dr. Brian Strom of the University of Pennsylvania is not opposed to a low-sodium diet, he does say, ″…there is simply a lack of data that shows it is beneficial.″ Meanwhile, second report which also appeared in this week′s Journal of the American Medical Association warns that there is still too much salt in restaurant food. Dr. Stephen Havas of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine led a study by the Center for Science in Public Interest that looked at processed and fast foods from 2005 through 2011. Sodium levels only dropped 3.5% in processed foods and only 2.6% by fast food vendors.

On July 10th, the IRS held a press conference to formally apologize for elements and/or individuals within the organization who they now admit were specifically targeting conservative organizations during the 2012 election season for additional scrutiny. Any organization using the title “tea” or “patriot” was flagged for a review of their tax returns. Of the 300 organizations flagged for scrutiny in Cincinnati, 75 of them were conservative organizations identifying with the tea party movement.

But this is not the worst part of the problem. There’s good evidence that, across multiple states, conservative organizations were targeted by the IRS in numerous ways. From unusually long questionnaires demanding membership rosters and donor lists, to warning letters sent out to donors suggesting that their contributions to 501(c) groups could be retroactively taxed. And all this right as the 2012 election season began to heat up.

Could this be seen by some as an attempt to chill political speech? Of course. Even liberal NY Time opinion columnist Maureen Dowd agrees with this!

How did the White House respond to this revelation? How do you think? They blamed Bush of course!

Season 4 of the Discovery Channel′s series, Sons of Guns, returned last week with a cliff hanger. Red Jacket Firearms mogul Will Hayden appeared to be in trouble when he found himself in a tank accident. The gang was test firing the 90mm gun of a M36 tank destroyer when smoke began emerging from the turret. Turns out that some dummy left a smoke grenade in the turret and somehow Will set it off. But he was fine and the show continued this week with he and Joe taking a business trip to Jordan while the rest dealt with other issues, including the repair of a Solothurn 20mm Anti-Tank rifle. We also see our old buddy Vince has started his own gunshop just down the road. Oh-oh!

Our old pal Glenn Beck has a conspiracy theory about a third suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. A Saudi national, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, was a ′Person of Interest′ briefly following the terrorist attack two Mondays ago. Even Janet Napolitano admitted that he had been placed on a Terror Watch List for a couple of days until the FBI checked him out and allegedly found no evidence connecting Alharbi to the attacks. But some flags were raised about the young man from Saudi Arabia, enough to get six members of Congress, led by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), to make inquiries. Meanwhile, Beck continues to push for answers with his various venues, including his news website, The Blaze.
