And the answer is: a Springfield 9mm semiautomatic handgun with several high capacity magazines.

Once again, thanks loads, NRA. How can you feel powerful owning your guns unless stuff like this happens?

Good morning, pups. This morning we have Cohen, Nocera and Bruni. Bobo is off today. In “Dream, Baby, Dream!” Mr. Cohen says Mitt Romney piles on the foreign policy foolishness, and manages to miss the Mideast’s great cultural shift. Mr. Nocera, in “How Not to Pass a Bill,” says forget the hard stuff. This Congress can’t even pass the easy bills like one that would have granted permanent normal trade relations to Russia. In “Ducking the Donald” Mr. Bruni says the big tents of the political conventions can’t fit every clown. He also seems to not understand the difference between climate and weather.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and I’ve got a variety of bagels with cream cheese. Apparently it isn’t that Gabby Douglas just isn’t patriotic enough. Her hair is all wrong too… You’d think people would have something more constructive to worry about. Have a great day.

Hard to believe that shooting down unarmed innocents would gain you creds with any street at all.

Thanks, Marion. Our media mavens need to do a hiring event, and enlist a few pundits with abilities to see what’s going on around them. Of course, said mavens don’t see what’s going on around them, or they’d know that.

It’s pretty amazing after this that somebody doesn’t call out the GOP for their impressive attack on the DoJ report that covered right wing doemstic terrorism.

Oh, wait. That would provoke the NRA. And the far right Christians. Can’t do that in a election year. Maybe next year. Depending on congress.

So let’s see. We can’t improve gun control, because of the NRA’s interpretion of the 2nd amendment. We can’t investigate right wing domestic terrorists becaue we’re criminalizing opinions. At least Harry is hot on Mitt’s taxes.

Boxturtle (I feel so much safer)

Nor can we get the likes of Fox and Rush and all the others to turn down the hate and fear. I think that would help a lot.

Boxturtle (Hmmm…I can reply to myself, but not Marion. Weird)

For some reason, all this discussion of a gold medalists hair annoys me. What oriface on the net did that spring out of?

Wrong Hair. Wrong Uniform. It this yet another hint from the far right that they dont like blacks representing America?

Boxturtle (I hope she hits back somehow)

From watching msnbc yesterday, evidently the noise machines were all over the girls for gymnastics uniforms, which were subtle about displaying our colors. Too. Spread the hate, there’s where you find an audience.

The same culture that informs right-wing terrorism also informs the FBI’s war on anarchists and the Obama administration’s expansion of Dick Cheney’s war on the world.

Gabby’s holding her own in The Great Hair Kerfuffle.

Ponder this question:

Why is it that the Feds spend months and millions infiltrating Occupy, entrapping some of the lost and naive within it, so that they can launch a national campaign against “anarchists,” while right-wing crazies can openly sing about how they’re pumped to kill people, and no Feds bother them?

It’s reminiscent of Hoover’s FBI that was too busy chasing “Reds” to bother with the Mafia or the Klan.

This reminds me of the Hamill Camel cut, which was not attractive at all. But worked when she spun.

The supremacists know they’re doing terrible things, so they figure not talking to anyone is their best way to success. Occupy folks are innocent.

I think she should dye it rainbow colors and REALLY give fox something to worry about!

Boxturtle (I do wondeer where this actually started)

If America’s women were to suddenly get sick of this nonsense, shave themselves bald and paint their scalps with street art, it would serve us males right.

Still, we pick on The Donald for his dead ferret. We picked on Clinton for his haircut on the runway. We picked on Ronnie for his Grecian Formula. Maybe there is a LITTLE bit of equality.

Boxturtle (And anybody who wants to pick on Lady Gaga’s hair is free to do so IMO)

Remember bleached blonde? Daily torture for those who kept that going. I’ll happily keep the stuff normal.

but pick on a teen-ager. here’s to statutory word-rape. stay classy, R’s.

I thought it was John Edwards, when you mentioned the haircut, but now I see both were so criticized.

Do you think the FBI expends much effort even trying to infiltrate right-wing groups?

No because their corporate sponsor, the NRA, told them to back off.

Rightwing hate groups are an unending cash cow for the NRA, and the guns and ammo industries. Follow the money, honey.

Dittoheaded rightwingers can be reliably ginned up to throw temper tantrums if anyone dares to consider tracking rightwing hate groups as the domestic terrorists that they are.

Unreal. I had no idea that our wonderful Oly Golden Girl, Gabby Douglas, was being criticized for – of all things – her hair & her costume.

As someone else said: stay KKKlassy KKKonservatives.

Sucks.

Here’s to Gabby Douglas! A truely classy American, who makes us all proud. You go, girl!
