So I signed up for Washington times account, and I keep getting email about "this scandal could lead to Obama impeachment!" and so on. I kind of expect that. What I don't expect is to get survivalist advertisements in my inbox:

"The fact is, if you don’t take action or if you stockpile the wrong foods, you could be setting your family up to starve. It sounds harsh, but the truth is too many people with good intentions are making critical mistakes with their food stockpiles.

Mistakes like…

Buying MREs with a 5 year shelf life (depending on where you buy them from they could be near expired)…

Getting gross survival foods that are tough to stomach and so high in salt, MSG and preservatives you could clog your arteries and get yourself sick…

Or simply buying the wrong foods and leaving a critical hole in your meal plan, which means your family can become malnourished…

Well, I decided to stop worrying. Obviously, waiting for FEMA to give me a handout in a disaster just wasn’t an option for me. And I was completely turned off by the crazy prices of survival food sold by most stores.

So I got in touch with my buddy Frank Bates and put my order in for his Food4Patriots survival food kits. This is Frank’s new line of survival food and there are 4 reasons why it’s literally flying off the shelves:"

I grew up around survivalists, and I can sort of relate. But it's still just sad to me the level of fear-exploitation that is present.

Reagan used to read it daily! I sporadically did back in my GOP days.

I do try to stay plugged into conservative thinking, don't like an echo chamber.

Those are just paid ads appearing almost everywhere - pecunia non olet! The same ads are being served by google on almost any website that participates in their kickback program. You're not supposed to read everything you believe anyways.

So in your opinion wouldn't Costco's 30000+ servings of food with a 25 year shelf life be a good deal?

$3500 currently but once in a while they can be bought for under $3000 on sale.

WaTimes had this clown (Bill Sammon) throw a softball to Bush in 2003:

"I know you said there will be a time for politics. But you've also said you wanted to change the tone in Washington. Howard Dean recently seemed to muse aloud whether you had advance knowledge of 9/11. Do you agree or disagree with the RNC that this kind of rhetoric borders on political hate speech? "

(this is the question that Bush responded to oddly, as if he had an earpiece)

You'll want those and expired canned goods for the roving armed thugs.

Just change the expiration date to read as current and leave the stash out to be found, presto, problem goes away. Same goes for meds.

If you are very quick and clever you should be able to scavenge their stockpiles too.
