Welp, just finished up watching MAD BAMZ shame and scold and lecture and BULLY the United States Senate for kowtowing to the NRA -- and Mad Bamz is, of course, our favorite Bamz, as he makes us feel less alone. (Fox, of course, didn't run Bamz at all; you'd think they'd have jumped at the chance to showcase an actual Angry Black Man.) Also, he called liars out, for lying. CALL THE CIVILITY POLICE.
And what do we come back to, Internet? Oh, just reports that a man with a loaded weapon has been arrested on the Capitol grounds. No big, says CNN, he was just protesting and was very cooperative and stuff. This comes on top of today's attempts by persons so far unknown to poison the president and a GOP senator (who, coincidentally, would reportedly vote against a GOP filibuster of the Manchin-Toomey amendment to expand background checks). AND WE HAD NEVER EVEN GOTTEN TO THE RICIN ATTACKS, BECAUSE TOO MUCH OTHER FUCKED UP BULLSHIT WAS BEING FUCKED UP AND BULLSHIT. Oh right, also someone bombed an American city.
You will forgive us if our hair is on fire like Andrew Sullivan right now, but we cannot shake the feeling that all these fucking lunatics have been ACTIVATED, and they finally got the race war they always fucking wanted.
Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. And now, back to our previously scheduled giant fucking glass of rum.

I can't wait to hear Alex Jones' take on the explosion in West. The town was pretty devastated by the blast.
Gunman? My local stations and Crazy News Network were all about the explosion in West, Texas. "Like a nuclear bomb." Yeah, that soothes the old nerves.
