Just makes you want to scream

The joke is on us!

Cats and zero gravity

Cats and zero gravity, not as good a mix as you'd think.

What Sister Sarah should have said

Glen wants it both ways

Glen's mouth says "stand together against violence," but his background says I'll shoot you if you don't.

Don't blame the guns

What is interesting here is that despite one of the bystanders being armed, he didn't use his weapon to subdue the shooter. It was a grey haired grandmother who challenged the shooter first. So much for the gun advocate's argument that we'd all be safer if more people were packing.

Second Amendment Remedies

Just heard about the tragic events in Tucson. The shooter took the lives of at least five people, including a federal judge and a young girl, and left many others wounded. Sadly my initial reaction wasn't one of surprise, but rather resignation toward the rise of hysteria we've been seeing from the Right. It is not just a few loons in the Tea Party, its Republican representatives of congress and the top right-wing talking heads who are calling for second amendment remedies. Now that someone has taken them at their word, expect to see all sorts of squirming about not having any responsibility for what happened. I prefer the what Clarence Dupnik, the Pima County Sheriff, had to say;

... people tend to poo-poo this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that. That may be free speech. But it's not without consequences.

Just in case you've forgotten:

And the Trolls have already started coming out. [Yikes]

Obama, the first stealth Black Republican President

This makes about as much sense as anything he's done lately.

Have you heard the old word ...
