Rightwing terrorism doesn't count.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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

I just did onerous tasks without it even being onerous task day. Can I have a cupcake now?

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

Because books.
(Almost) all of the above is why I'm feeling the need for a media embargo soon. You guys will tell me if an asteroid is due to hit earth, right?
I assume if Clovis takes over, I'll get an email.
