They're lucky, in a way.

Wonder how they’d feel if they were on the receiving end of all those trite little “thoughts and prayers” cliches.

What kind of comfort would they find in reflexive banalities like that?

I don’t know if I’d find any real comfort in that. I guess I’d understand with people I know who have feelings but don’t know how to express them well. But there are some from whom I might not welcome meaningless “thoughts and prayers” in the first place.

I would too.

The ONLY thing I’d ever want to hear from him is an apology for his role in helping to create this problem in the first place!

And then I’d probably demand that he resign and take that jerk Dan Patrick with him.

GOOD!

More please!

And not just from the Celtics, either.

EVERYBODY needs to call their Senators/Congressmembers/governors/state & local leaders and insist on it. And vote for their next opponents if they don’t!

I heard one anchor (CNN's Jim Acosta?) asking if we'd need to start

Hey, what’s stopping it? By a week from today, there’s bound to be more.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
