I think i'm going to have to pre emptively defriend my gun nut relative. He's going to argue more guns are the answer and that's just going to make me crazy.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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
Just tell him if those 9 year olds had been armed this never would have happened!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry. I retract!
Heh. Thinking about it again, I could probably handle some things better, so if we MUST have a do-over, I guess it would be OK.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sounds like it started in the school office as a confrontation between the parent-shooter and the principal. Some reports saying they heard cursing and screaming over the PA system.
Newtown has an emergency Text notice system so all parents were notified immediately.
Kids lead out of the school were told to hold hands and close their eyes.

Yeah, there is a safety freak at our school who was worried about local drug users entering the school (we live in a really wealthy neighborhood - I am sure there are local drug users, but suspect they are mostly doing cocaine and driving their BMWs around). I told her parents were the most dangerous people at any school. I am avoiding her at pickup today for sure. Actually, she has probably gone and pulled her kid out of school early.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I wonder if they'll change the set-up at Matilda's school. It's very open and that is a big part of why it sort of flows with the community. Would hate to lose that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A body was found inside the home of the shooter, possibly his mother.
I wonder if she tried to stop him?

Because books.
Now CBS is saying that the shooter was not a parent.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shooter's name was Ryan Lanza, age 20.

What's confusing to me is that they're giving the number of people dead, but saying a whole classroom is unaccounted for. Does that mean we're looking possibly twenty more dead?
Now they're saying he's 24 and lived in Hoboken, but had grown up in the community.
