I am more surprised that there was a bombing at a Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin that isn't getting any major coverage. Or um, maybe I'm just not reading the papers? It could be the second as well.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Wait, WHAT? I hadn't heard about that either!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'd heard. Seemingly it's being reported as "an explosive device was found" at the Planned Parenthood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Rightwing terrorism doesn't count.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Isolated incident"!

Thrive to spite them
It's always an "isolated incident" or a "lone gunman" if it's right wing violence.

Cynically, I was actually surprised the whole "shooting at a Christian college" wasn't getting more news, in the "OMG WE ARE PERSECUTED" sort of way. I mean, I'm sure it did, on some sites, but not any of the ones I read.
The Santorum thing I've seen around, amusingly the first time I saw it was on Language Log, and they were trying to parse what he might've been about to say. Several people suggested "negotiations" or "negative" or something--something that would've been a few words or sentences later in the speech. Much as I'd like to believe he's a flat out racist (which, say, I DO believe about Gov Perry), I have to doubt that he uses the N-word commonly enough in speech to make him start to say that.
And the Planned Parenthood "incendiary device" or whatever just drives me nuts.
