I see the the First Couple will attend the memorial in Texas. I suppose they have to, but I don't want them anywhere near Texas, what with its magic bullets and all that. Especially in this environment.

If any harms befalls either one of them while they're there, then I'll know why this entire tragedy, and all of its shoddy and irresponsible reporting and the important details that don't add up, rubbed me the wrong way from the get go.

Craig,

we haven't elected - statewide- any right wing GOPers. our GOPers have been middle of the road folks. some milquetoast, other crooks, but none right wingers.

Isn't he the one who said that the quickest way to get a school yard bully to back down is to stand up?

Democrats need to stand up.

Thank you for the context, for the analysis, for the food for thought. But mostly, thanks for the great writing.

You not lying - those documentaries on A&E show one sista actually commenting on the fact that "Jeff was always cooking something, but you never saw him bringing home any groceries."

Dude was cooking up brothas body parts and they actually caught him in the street with one of his victims, a young Asian kid who was naked and drugged. Dahmer persuaded the cops that he and the young man had had an argument and were trying to reconcile.

I believe those Milwaukee cops are no longer on the force. I wonder what's going to happen in Cleveland?

Funny how I never had a desire to visit Cleveland...

I'm from Milwaukee. So much of this story reminds me of the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer.

That's the most curious thing I've read so far.

They can't. But they prop them up anyway.

Journalism is dead.

Exactly. Do physicians even HAVE to qualify for weapons?

that he had "always been a muslim", that talked about not wanting to be deployed, and that they "just heard" that he was being deployed, but officials say that the shooter knew about the deployements at least months before.

How can people be sure that these people are REALLY family members of the shooter?

Re: Amazing and disturbing tweet from Fort Hood area. Now with ebonics translation

CraigHickman — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:18:39 -0000

I turned off the TV. What are these "family members" saying?

Military officials are giving out confidential information?

He was promoted to Major this past May?

How poor could his performance have been?

What constitutes poor?

Isn't it easy to create a profile of the dead who have no opportunity to defend themselves?

And since he was single and had no children, who can vouche for him?

There's a whole lot about this shooting that isn't adding up.

The man's name was actually Nidal Malik Hasan.

Stupidass media.

Okay, why is Tweety quoting some things from Senator KB Hutch, is she supposed to be doing that? Tweety said according to KBH, the "shooter" was soont o be deployed to Iraq and was not happy about it. Now he has a "FBI profiler" on who actually said that this sounds like someone who "maybe has some family history in the Muslim world". Here we go, dude don't have no way of knowing that, but he's putting that out there already?

Malik Nadal Hasan.

So that will automatically make this a terrorist attack even if it wasn't.

Here. We. Go.
