To say the least, I was NOT impressed with President Obama's speech which I did not have the chance to watch, so just read instead.
I read it twice to make sure what I thought I must have missed the first time, I had NOT missed.
And no, I had not missed it. It was not in there. That is, tere was not a single mention of guns.
Not. A. Single. Mention.
Unbelievable.
President Obama:
(I won't be holding my breath.)
To quote Eliza Doolittle to Freddie Eynsford-Hill in "My Fair Lady"
Words, words, words I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through,
First from him, now from you,
Is that all you blighters can do?!

Happy Holidays from the NRA! There is celebrating at NRA HQ today!
Another mass murder!
CHILDREN this time!
Oh, goody, says the NRA in private! GUN SALES WILL GO THROUGH THE ROOF!
The more people shot dead in a senseless mass murder, the more people will arm themselves!
ARM THOSE CHILDREN TOO!
After all, if one of those kids had had an assault rifle, that crazy dad would be toast now, right?
In conclusion, FUCK the NRA, FUCK guns, and FUCK gun culture. It's destroying our land.
