Three more mass shootings in the news in two days. And we know that the vast majority of American mass shootings never make it into the national news. There wouldn't be room for 'em all! And still, every Republican official in the nation refuses to lift a finger. Most of these murders are committed with military-style automatic weapons, but that's not even the main point. Australia had a mass shooting more than 25 years ago. They instituted gun control, and there have been no more massacres. The GOP won't do anything. Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi: it is up to you. Do something!

You hit the nail on the head,
She’s hot enough to melt asphalt,
But don’t touch that dial.
Don’t you recognize her?
That’s P. Mantis,
Deadliest divorce lawyer in town;
Tread carefully,
Or she’ll eat you alive.

I could kill you now,

but how much sweeter:

maroon you on this rock,

staring into the singularity,

spinning closer, closer--

nowhere to go but down.

an unqualified replacement
after what he did to the nation
under our last good president

as the King of England almost said

Will no one rid of me
of this Senate Majority Leader?
