Havin' a hard time writing the column this week.
I'm doing a column for this week on the wedding massacre.

I've got the introduction done and I just am having a hard time bringing myself to go back to it. It's all so awful, and nobody ever seems to give a shit about how many people we kill.

I will go back and finish it before the deadline. But it's just hard to see how anything will ever make a difference. We opened that can of hell on earth a long time ago and now it's just splattered all over the globe.

Sigh,

The Plaid Adder

Also maybe go check in with river

She always inspires me with the real scoop. Her reference to the wedding party is within the last four paragraphs of her second to most recent post.

Good luck. I'm sure you'll perservere!

On edit. . .you may want to consider using Kimmit's "bad people have celebrations too" comment, or whatever he said. . .so unbelievably insensitive.

5. Make the theme or conclusion of your column . . .
. . . that nobody is giving a shit how many people we kill. We had outrage about the torture? WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE AT ALL OF THE DEATHS AT OUR HANDS!

Heh. Just an idea. You can have it.
