I'd heard. Seemingly it's being reported as "an explosive device was found" at the Planned Parenthood.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Rightwing terrorism doesn't count.
I just did onerous tasks without it even being onerous task day. Can I have a cupcake now?
"Isolated incident"!
Of course, sumi.
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.

Wasn't the shooter a student of the college who had recently dropped out? Still a terrible thing, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he was shooting them for being Christian.
