    Queue Fox pundits saying something stupid in 3, 2, 1…

    …and thank you for volunteering, ex-governor Huckabee who thinks the the problem is related to removing God from schools.

    Right.

  3. @Argon:

    I’ll be dealing with criticizing the idiots tomorrow. Tonight it just doesn’t feel appropriate.

    @Doug Mataconis:

    I agree Doug. Every one of those tears of the presidents was genuine because he was thinking of his own kids just as I was thinking of my grandkids.

    @Doug Mataconis:
    I can understand that but I’m still seething from the last four or ten mass shootings with the same damn stupid responses from these ideologues.

    I’m waiting for the media equivalence to start over Obama’s crying and Boehner’s crying. Y’know that somewhere there’s gotta be a pundit thinking up those arguments.

    You all might think it’s despicable, but that’s because you don’t make money by being a pundit.

    A few years ago, I read a study about these mass shootings and it said that they have always occurred in suburban areas, not the inner city. Is this accurate ? If so, what could account for that ?
