Some Good News to Temper the Insanity

I can't think of anything to say about the shooting in Oregon. These just go on and on. Maybe there'll come a point where enough people will have been affected by them and they will rise up in righteous anger. It worked for James and Sarah Brady. I suppose that's not something to wish for, though. Until then, try to avoid crowds and live in an area where shootings are rare. My only advice and I only half follow it myself having just come from the maddening crowds of the Crandall book sale.

I will share the NRA's mouthpiece of the month, Jon Hanlin.

 

Yes, the county sheriff is a sovereign citizen. Is it really the sheriff who is supposed to determine if laws are constitutional? That idea sounds a little unconstitutional to me. Thought it was courts that did that. Think I learned that on Schoolhouse Rock.

Let's go on to the good news courtesy of Josh Marshall.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, was booed by the audience at the Washington Ideas Forum Thursday while defending the GOP's congressional investigations into the Benghazi attack, The Huffington Post reported.

According to The Huffington Post, the audience booed, hissed and yelled "You're lying!" while McMorris Rodgers attempted to deny that the Benghazi committee was politically-motivated. 

Benghazi has lost its magic.

"I do believe that the work that we're doing in the Benghazi committee is very important," McMorris Rodgers said, during which, according to the Huffington Post, the audience's disapproval only grew louder.

"We've not yet had important questions answered," she continued.

Like Matt Funiciello, they are merely asking questions. Like Matt Funiciello they have no interest in listening to the answers.
