What is it that brings the lunatics out in such force? After 9/11, there was a slew of anthrax-tainted letters sent out, and it had nothing to do with the terrorist attack, this was a home-grown nut case. Now, after the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon, another drooling mouth-breather sent out ricin-tainted letters to a Senator and perhaps one or two other people, including the President. He really must have been smart, too, because he had already sent threatening letters to the Senator, so let's say the element of surprise was somewhat reduced.
People often think tragedies happen in threes, and if the explosion at a fertilizer factory in Texas--a terrible, ghastly event--is added to the other two attempts on human life, we have our trio of the moment. As of this writing, not much more is on the news about the cause of the factory explosion but considering the chemicals used, it sounds like a human or technical error. If not, if this was on purpose, someone needs to be strung up by his gonads (it's always men) and slowly flayed with a dull knife.
And if all this misery and pathetic human hate are influenced by the phases of the moon or the season, we'd better figure out some kind of medication for it and administer it, post haste, to right-wing extremists.
And just for good measure, to Sarah Palin...

Ditch the pessimism, gang
An important number of people have expressed a bitter disappointment because the Senate killed off any hope of background checks in order to purchase firearms. This pessimism is undue.
Many a war has been won even though a battle or two have been lost; losing battles is inevitable, but this is a war that is going to be won in the long run.
Why? Well, among other things, the senators (aka, whores) who have been bought by the arms industry (aka, the NRA) have been shown up in all their whoredom for the world to see and contemplate with dismay and disgust. You can find out which lady of the night voted which way by checking it out on Internet and then you can express your opinion that some of them aint worth two bits. And you know how low a two-bit lady of the night is!
But popular pressure aside, there is even more reason for hope. I mean, come on, when one of the principal spokespersons for the arms industry cause is someone of the intellectual stature of Sarah Palin, what have you got to lose? This lady, though not necessarily of the night, didn't know that North and South Korea were two countries until someone on McCain's team clued her in.
Oh, no, this war aint done by a long shot!
