Morning in America: Butthurt Achieved

[BH]

I can't imagine how hard it must be to parent in a situation like this.
"Liza Long, a writer based in Boise, says it's easy to talk about guns. But it's time to talk about mental illness."

I am Adam Lanza's Mother.

Did they conclude that the shooter had a mental illness?  I thought it was all speculative.

Nevermind.

As I think powen noted on Facebook the other day, one difference between Liza Long and Nancy Lanza is that, with all due respect, it doesn't seem like the former has a Bushmaster AR-15 sitting around the house.

Whatever your stance on gun control, that's mind-boggling.

Certainly any firearm that is not securely under lock and key in a home with kids (mentally stable or not) is a mind-boggling irresponsible act.

This is mind-boggling:

I'd also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once.

Ahh, I like it. Akin to the Soviet method of clearing minefields. Get 'em, you expendable brats.

She should also be pro-fast food.  Fatten the little kids up so it only takes 5 or 6 to stop an attacker instead of 8 to 12.

WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!

Yes, I know the whole thing is a hoax.

Remember the hundreds of millions of dollars spent trying to get Romney elected?

Now his son's saying he never wanted the job.

Strange way to spend 6 years of your life.

Well then, I am happy that I did what little I could to accomodate him.

My explanation is that apparently it doesn't take much to be an appellate court judge in Iowa.  According to the all male court the boss fired her because of feelings and emotions, not gender.  It is her own fault for having too many exagerated female characteristics.  I suppose that if he developed an intense hatred of her skin color it would not because of her race, but because of his feelings and emotions about that color.  No.  I can't explain it.

Well it is possible he would of fired a male assistant to whom he was attracted.

Also, in Iowa, it's apparently customary to consult your pastor on human resources decisions.

It is seriously irresponsible to post this article and continue this conversation without an image of the plaintiff.

in the final months of her employment, he complained that her tight clothing was distracting, once telling her that if his pants were bulging that was a sign her clothes were too revealing.

Pretty sure it's not her clothes that are too revealing.

No doubt they were all ugly women.
