Yeah my first thought when I saw this was "why am I just now seeing this on WONKETTE the next day?"
Not that I don't love Wonkette, but their job isn't to bring me news really quickly, and the places where that is their job....this is not a top item, to say the least.
*I* have no reason to live, and I certainly expect to die (I mean, someday, right?) but you don't see ME running around w/ a gun. I stand my ground w/ a bottle of Jamesons. You know, like a reasonable person.
Well doesn&#039;t this just <i>blow a big fucking hole</i> through this &quot;good guy with a gun&quot; bullshit. So just as torture-vs-not torture is a false dichotomy, so is the good guy-vs-bad guy gun drivel. It isn&#039;t foolproof or universal, but as it happens, talking to people like they are fellow human beings in a reasonable and non threatening manner <i>can</i> get the desired result. And I say that as a person who owns firearms (<i>not</i> nra member and never have been).
oh you wonderful miss lady. you remind me that america can be beautiful.
we could chip in. I can probably spring for an S but that&#039;ll tap me out

I am sure the NRA does not approve of this talking instead of shooting. It&#039;s probably unconstitutional anyway.
Seems perfectly descriptive to me.

Tuff. And easy on the eyes.
I also.
is thankful for a happy ending to this story, but I am again reminded how happy I am not to have any children. This old world is one helluva mess.
Not really an option for most guntards.

If only she&#039;d been armed, she could have saved herself a whole hour of talking.

Surprising, and that&#039;s sad - but quite great - to read &quot;nobody was injured&quot;.
Wow, its almost like diplomacy, love, and understanding of our fellow humans is the most powerful weapon we&#039;ve ever devised.
Nah, just kidding, its obviously the Hydrogen Bomb. Wouldn&#039;t that be a great world though?
