“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Methinks that, in the following excerpt, “handling” is a polite way of saying “fondling lascivously.”

I’ll stop there.

Police said their investigation revealed that a 38-year-old man was handling a gun in a bedroom while she (a ten-year old girl–ed.) was in an adjoining bathroom. While he was holding the gun, it went off, striking the girl. The girl’s 35-year-old mother was also in the bedroom with the 38-year-old, but she was not injured.

And, reputably, yet another gun that went off on its ownsome (something, by the way, that guns don’t do).

Afterthought:

I have two daughters.

Disgust wells up within me.

There are not enough books to throw at this clown.

Mailing It In 0

Carl Hiaasen, his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek, reveals the secret first draft of Postmaster-General DeJoy’s prepared remarks for Congress. Here’s an excerpt:

And to all the military veterans waiting at their mailboxes for their delayed prescriptions from the VA, to all the seniors looking for their late Social Security checks and to every American family that depends on reliable postal service every day, let me say one thing loud and clear: Holy crap, I didn’t realize so many of you were Republicans!

Same goes for the millions in our great party with significant health problems who can’t risk going to the polls in the midst of a viral pandemic, and who are starting to believe what President Trump has been saying about fraudulent mail-in balloting. He’s not talking about your state, okay? He’s talking about all the other states.
