Hey man, I wholeheartedly embrace and endorse all aspects of the lipstick lesbian lifestyle.

I feel horrible that I laughed at this, hopefully some of you are similarly afflicted.

Princesca was just bitching that every Facebook page for all of the Jim Beam products posted the exact same message yesterday.

Well they have to cash in on the collective feelings of guilt or sadness while they can.

They showed interviews with three more kids on the evening news, and I must say all the kids so far have been eerily composed. 

We tend to underestimate the ability of children to deal with stuff like this, I think.  I believe that most kids can deal with it better than most adults and we're just projecting our own inability to come to grips with it on them.

Connecticut chief medical examiner H Wayne Carver II said that the victims each suffered three to 11 gunshot wounds and appeared to have died quickly. "All of wounds that I know of were caused by the long weapon," he said, referring to the semi-automatic Bushmaster rifle found at the scene.

Carver said he had seen thousands of gunshot deaths over the years, but nothing to compare to Friday's slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

"I've been at this for a third of a century," he said, "but this is probably the worst I have seen."

Aside from the parents and families of the victims, the first responders on the scene are just as broken now.

Those little towns, their cops and paramedics don't see mass casualties like that.  Hell, even the grizzled vet or the ex-soldier doesn't see that shit in combat. Their noodles are going to be permanently scrambled.  You see dead kids once in a while.  I've seen a few dead children, some car accidents, drowned, saw an hours-old infant that was tossed in a dumpster once complete with umbilical cord, one burned to the point we thought it was a small animal;  they're like dead adults, only smaller.  But not in bunches like that.

In a first-grade classroom, a boy, seeing that his teacher had been shot, bolted out the back door and kept running, friends said. The boy ended up on Church Hill Road, half a mile away, where a man picked him up and took him to the firehouse where other students were gathered.

Sharp kid.  Haul ass.  Don't stop.  Don't look back.

Couldn't read the stories in the papers today, the pictures especially were too upsetting. It's simply unimaginable

If the contradiction of allowing chattel slavery in a country founded on the principle that all men are created equal couldn't bring us down, the 2nd amendment's not going to get the job done.
