PRESIDENTIAL FUN FACT:
In 1753, Washington attempted to replicate Franklin's famous "electric kite experiment", but made the mistake of holding the key in his hand.

Here's how it goes.
The answer is a (more or less) completely innocent word.
The hints, however, are designed to make you think of something... not so innocent.
I'll put the first hint in the main post, and the other two in the extended entry.
Good luck.

For your soul, pray for the families and the wounded.
For your heart, grieve for the lost.
For your emotions, hold your family close and let them know you Love them.
For your mind, think of ways that you could avoid being a victim in a similar situation.
For your peace, turn off the damn TV and do one of the above.
Well said.
A personal note to the author: Though you blog infrequently these days, I'm VERY glad you still post when you can. There was a damn good reason I pushed you to get your own blog, and it makes me proud to see that reason is still there.

So, I guess that makes me special in one regard: I don't think anyone has ever had the same post Instalanched twice before.
Thanks, Glenn. Your puppy is in the mail.

Why should we now hesitate to sacrifice a few dozen people a year for the most precious of all rights we have--the right to bear arms?
Ok, my turn to mock the left: "Why should we now hesitate to sacrifice a few dozen people for our most precious delusion - that gun control works?"
The fact is, James, that the people who died in those shootings had already had their right to bear arms removed from them as a matter of campus policy.
Had they been allowed to exercise their right, this tragedy could've been averted.
Go ahead & read the above link. It's dated April 13th, and it just pegs the irony meter. Here's a couple choice cuts, justifying the campus gun ban:
"I think it's fair to say that we believe guns don't belong in the classroom," [Virginia Tech spokesman] Hincker said. "In an academic environment, we believe you should be free from fear."
"We think we have the right to adhere to and enforce that policy because, in the end, we think it's a common-sense policy for the protection of students, staff and faculty as well as guests and visitors," Hincker said.Virginia Tech also has the backing of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police. In a policy position paper dated April 1, association executive director Dana Schrad wrote that the presence of guns on college campuses "adds a dangerous element to an environment in which alcohol is a compounding factor." Students should not have to be concerned about guns on campus, Schrad wrote.
"The excellent reputation of Virginia's colleges and universities depends in part on the public's belief that they are sending their college-age children to safe environments," the policy paper reads.
Let's be realistic. When you have a rampaging shooter, one of three things will happen: He will get tired of shooting and surrender, he will get tired of shooting and kill himself, or someone will shoot him before he gets tired of shooting.
I know which option *I* prefer.
The only solution to bad men with guns is good guys with guns. Preferrably lots of them. So it has always been, so it always will be.
Let's arm more good guys.
Support concealed carry.

Sure, right now it's just a fun little web site. In a couple years, it'll be mandatory under USA PATRIOT Act III.

I should be happy, right?
But check this out:
And compare the time stamp to the one at IMAO:
Yeah, he linked it, but first he backdated it by 11 hours to bury it.
It's like he's got a grudge against me for some unimaginable reason.
Either that or he got ahold of Physics Geek's time machine.

An Editorial By Harvey (cross-posted from IMAO)
In the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings, I've seen a lot of people putting the blame on guns. "We need more gun control laws", they say... "If we didn't have so many guns in this country, this never would've happened", they say... "Stupid Second Amendment! I'll get you for this!" they say.
Slow down there, Sparky! The fact is, guns were already prohibited on the Virginia Tech campus. Having another anti-gun law would be as pointless as outlawing murder, and I don't hear anybody calling for that.
The truth is that these anti-gun wackos are barking up the wrong constitutional doctrine. The problem lies with the First Amendment, not the Second.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with speeching and pressing and religioning and redressing. It's that assembling thing that makes these killing sprees possible. When people get together in large groups, all they're really doing is providing an irresistable target-rich environment, enticing psychopaths to start blasting away. It's like wearing a short skirt and skimpy top while walking down a street - might as well hand out engraved invitations.
Oh, I know what you're going to say. "We need the right of assembly. Groups of angry citizens mobbing together is one of the last lines of defense against a tyrannical government that oversteps it's bounds".
Feh.
Worked really good for the Chinese in Tiananmen Square, didn't it? What are you going to do? Stop a tank by standing in front of it holding a couple shopping bags? That might've worked 200 years ago, but tanks were much smaller then.
The fact is, freedom of assembly is just an archaic holdover from a bygone era. In today's modern age, people have NO REASON to physically get together in large groups. Technology has provided us with e-mail, and telephones, and blogs, and on-line shopping. Everything that used to require physical proximity can now be accomplished virtually. The problem is that our Consitution is just as archaic as the ridiculous "freedom" it enshrines. It needs to be updated to reflect modern realities.
However, Constitutional amendments are notoriously hard to pass (heck the last one took over 200 years), and the fact is, we don't need to do away with public assembly COMPLETELY - be kinda hard to get laid that way - we just need to modify our outdated notions a bit, and live within a more reasonable framework of interpersonal gathering modalities. You know, pass a few prudent laws that sensibly restrict, rather than repeal.
For example, it's tragically obvious at this point that allowing people to assemble for the purpose of education has - without exception - ended in mass murder every time it's been tried. Why not have virtual classrooms? Each student and teacher securely locked away in their own homes, learning via some sort of Skype & Webcam arrangement? Can't have a school shooting without a school, and no one's ever been murdered in the safety of their own home. If only we as a nation had taken this logical and obvious approach earlier! How many lives would've been saved?
Of course, this is only a first step. The sad fact is that other forms of assembly would remain to be dealt with. Work places, malls, parks, orgies, Tupperware parties... all knowingly flaunting their tempting, shootable flesh, driving the disturbed among us mad with unquenchable desire... eventually something would have to be done about those, too. Maybe some judicious amendment-editing IS in order. Even a simple addition like "right of the people peaceably to assemble - one to a room" might be enough.
Anyway, thank you for reading, and please support this common sense approach to tragedy prevention.
Harvey is a non-disabled Navy veteran accidentally hired to fill an affirmative action quota at IMAO.us. He is also the author of such books as "Get Out of Here! This Is MY Room!" and "Should the Right To Assemble Include C++?".

April 20 is Wolf Park Day in Indiana; a free-admission program Friday evening from 6-10 pm at the historic Lafayette Theatre; and, here is a PDF schedule of events for the weekend.NOTE: This is a memberÂ’s only weekend, there is no general admission. Memberships are not expensive and will get you in to a variety of interesting speakers, presentations, demonstrations, and activities. You can buy one at the door, and come on into the Park.
Oh, did I mention the charity auction? Or that the free-admission event on Friday will feature live jazz as well as a howling contest, stories, and more? Or that we are doing a special wolf-bison demo on Sunday? Or that people can win a chance to ride in the truck for the wolf-bison demo, to take part in food prep for the wolves, or other special activities?
Wolf Park rocks. If you can fit this into your plans, do so. And be sure to hook up with Blake. He's the most congenial host I've ever met.

Older women just tell you "Hey you know you [f*cked] up right?" Right then and there you can fix the problem.Also older women like their own space too. I don't have to be there every waking moment to hold your hand and comfort you. They're also more self sufficient, to a degree, which is awesome. They don't need you for everything, but somethings the want your help.
Yeah, I've noticed that. As women age, they may lose that dewy-with-hormones perkiness, but they MORE than make up for it by
A) playing fewer goofy, manipulative head-games, and
B) having their craziness settle into certain fairly predictable patterns. They're still randomly inexplicable, but preparing for it becomes more like forecasting the weather and less like trying to pick today's lottery numbers.
