It was daylight so there’s no obvious muzzle flashes. In the open, the sound dissipates quickly so it can be almost impossible to tell by ear what direction the firing is coming from. Ask any combat veteran - a lot of times you don’t even know you’re under fire unless you see someone else hit.

Any bets Alex Jones will say it’s a government false-flag operation?

What did you expect from Cotton Hill? I’m surprised he didn’t start ranting about sacrificing his shins for the good of the country.

I don’t understand. The guy (I heard on the morning news) had an AR15 and you anti-gun rights types have spent years screaming that AR15s and similar semiauto rifles are such horror weapons that they need to be banned because they kill everything within line of sight. According to your ilk, anyone with a semi-auto…

You’re right about that. Caesar was a brilliant, strong, brave man who had a splendid education and knew a great deal about his world. Drumpf is a whiny, petulant, ignorant, stupid, self-absorbed, ill mannered, immoral, cowardly, self-righteous, self-entitled, arrogant, big mouthed, two faced, hypocritical,…

Name one activity that occurs nowhere in the world but inside one particular state.

You have hope that Senators will not bend over backwards to protect a lodge brother. Change your brand of opium - what you’re smoking now is too strong for you.

Because the Dumbocrats are just as much in bed with the ultra-rich plutocrats as the Republinazis are. Because they are every bit as addicted to money and privilege. They know they can’t offer solutions that really do any good for the lower and middle classes without alienating the Koch brothers and their ilk. They…

You have it exactly right. This is exactly why the founders of this country repeatedly warned against forming political parties at all - because “party loyalty” is a toxic vice that destroys loyalty to the country. Teddy Roosevelt is widely regarded as a really great President, and the reason for it is because early…

As a veteran, I can testify that America’s treatment of its vets is hypocritical bordering on criminal. Today, everyone is willing to pat you on the back and say thank you - anything, as long as it doesn’t cost them anything. But if you actually need something, God help you, because all of sudden everyone else…

I am absolutely flabbergasted by your assertion that increase in political power should just naturally force an increase in academic achievement, as if the two are joined at the hip and the one must drag the other with it as automatically as walking moves the torso. By what kind of distorted illogic did you arrive at…

Because chatbots have taken the astroturfers’ jobs...

Amen to that. The fact that Jackson Pollock and Roy Lichtenstein weren’t laughed out of town is proof of your statement.

Indy-style racing is the most useless, stupidest sport in the world. And it’s the laziest - even worse than bowling. What training do you do for a car race? You create noise and pollution by going around and around and around and around and around . . . might as well be a professional carousel rider.

But you don’t have to shut down any businesses to stop the gun trafficking. Telling a gun store owner he can’t illegally sell guns to traffickers does not prevent him from running a legal gun store.

“For 200 years following the ratification of the Second Amendment, federal judges understood that the Second Amendment safeguarded the right to keep and bear arms when serving in a state militia. “

Ms. Lower, I think it’s a sorry comment on the abilities of the average American reader that you felt it necessary to explain how to calculate increasing something by 50%. But we should enjoy this state of affairs while we can. Once Betsy Devos has been in office three years, it will be necessary to explain to the…

Wow, what an amazingly pointless piece of garbage.

Cornell’s friends and family have my sympathy.
