Gunning for the Gold 0

The Booman tries to figure out why the Trump administration and Education Secretary Betsy Amway DeVos have chosen to target the Special Olympics. (Even though the Trump administration has since backed down on the Special Olympics, I think the Booman article is still worth a read.)

Of course, the explanation could be much simpler. It could just be Republicans being mean for the sake of mean.

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

Anthony Wilson, a witness at the scene who said he was the brother of the man living in the home, said that the shooting was accidental. Wilson said the child found the gun under a bed, played with the weapon and shot himself. “Everybody was in the living room. The little boy went into the back of the room, crawled under his bed, and then we heard the gun go off.”

Aside:

It’s not just in Iowa, folks.

Afterthought:

An educated polity is Republicans’ worst nightmare.
