You weren't an Elector, nor was I. However, I was a whole lot closer to matriculating at the Electoral College than any of our readers -- had Maria Ehsan, the Elector chosen at the 7th Congressional District's Democratic caucus back in May, been unable to attend the Electoral College meeting in Olympia, yours truly (the Alternate Elector from WA-07) would have taken her place as one of Washington's 12 Electors.

Hmmmm….violence is not a cure, it is, rather, the disease.

@4 That guy who stabbed 22 people in China ain’t gonna do it again. Guaranteed. Back of head. Bang. Problem over. A few minutes of Wikipedia research reveals that mass killers, serial killers, and child killers don’t exist in PRC prisons. They’re usually dead within 2 weeks after being convicted. In China, killers get speedy trials; they rarely survive longer than 2 months after committing their crimes.
No further comment really needed.
Guns Don’t Kill People Dep’t

Roger Rabbit Commentary: How obvious does it have to get that it’s too easy for guns to fall into the wrong hands before we finally do something? Amend the Second Amendment so that only the military, law enforcement, veterans, and rabbits can have guns.
Rabbits don’t shoot people; they disembowel them. Didn’t Mama Rabbit teach you anything???
