Completely Unhinged

"The Conservative Voice contrasted the Virginia Tech massacre with the Appalachian School of Law shooting in 2002, when a disgruntled student killed three students before he was subdued[102] by two other students with personal firearms they had retrieved from their vehicles, declaring that "All the school shootings that have ended abruptly in the last ten years were stopped because a law-abiding citizen—a potential victim—had a gun."[103]


"The Washington Post asked if the tragedy would have occurred if Virginia law did not prohibit the carrying of lawfully concealed weapons on college campuses."[104]


"Virginia Governor Tim Kaine condemned this debate, saying it was "loathsome" that "People who want to take this within 24 hours of the event and use it as a political hobbyhorse." Kaine said on April 17, 2007: "To those who want to make this into some sort of crusade, I say take this elsewhere."[105]


---> I read this today in the library and cracked up.

Who needs comedy when there's real life comedians who not only really take themselves way too seriously, don't know how funny they are in a tragically ridiculous way and just how veryveryvery little they make sense. The sheer illogic and irrationality stumps me. But I laugh still, somewhat painfully--and hysterically.
