Amazing how Uncle O's pwogs are getting off on their own self-righteousness regarding the Arizona dead, while ignoring the droned dead on a daily basis.
I say we ignore mass murders until the troops come home.
Or -- or! -- we can give the much more frequent overseas mass murders ordered by liberal presidents, say, 1/10th the coverage we give domestic mass murders carried out by socially alienated loners.
Progressive bloggers could start by acknowledging the former's existence and pretending to care about it.
I guess I am just reacting to everyone using this incident as a springboard to make political points, the range for which seems to be banal-self-serving-authoritarian.
I guess I'm sayiin' that this incident has made me sick of just about everyone who considers him/herself a political creature. Everybody is so damn predictable. Robot politics for powerless humans.
Great job, Charles.
