"Kinetic military action" looms in Syria, and something happened with Miley Cyrus. A collection of six stories about sitting and/or former Members of Congress killed in accidental shootings. A standoff between an Arizona Minutemen militia and Joe Arpaio deputies. No one could ever have predicted this. The Washington Times finds a new angle on the guy who sneezed & shot himself. Baffled by the seizure of the weapon in question, their intrepid journalist is forced to throw up her hands in despair. There is no way to get to the bottom of this one! Not even for a former Robert Novak journalism fellow at the Phillips Foundation. What's that, you ask? Well, let's talk about the right wing political/financial/anti-government panic machine and how it makes its money. Hunter fills us in about the anti-vaccination church in Texas that mysteriously suffered from an outbreak of measles. Despite Antoinette Tuff's unarmed heroics in Atlanta (and the counter-examples of the TWO accidental discharges by school security officers in the last week), that school's principal still thinks the answer is armed guards. NY's AG sues to end the fraud of "Trump University." Phyllis Schlafly accidentally owns up to the voter suppression goal of shutting down early voting. Tom Coburn rediscovers his crazybones, hitching the Obamacare defunding wagon to the debt ceiling star.
