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

I'm not watching directly, but I'm reading the Tweet feed and reading you folks. It's oddly reassuring.

Really, he blames gun violence on single mothers? What an asshole.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'll take the guns, thanks

Y'all trust me, right?

I'd trust you not to use them on anyone who doesn't deserve it, ita.

... except possibly if you're at the ER and they're fucking up your meds. But then they'd probably deserve it, too.

Yeah, I'm just reading here and Facebook, but feel like I got the gist of it. And a bad gist it was...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Not that I want a gun, but that's a huge population of non-dangerous people.

Now I just think you want a gun.

It's not a quote so much as the distillation of a paragraph about how gun violence is related to kids not being raised in families with moms and dads--married moms and dads--and people shouldn't have kids if they're not--and I was being horrified and didn't quite hear the rest, but there was something about not having kids if they're not prepared for them or something like that.
