I realize this isn’t exactly what you’re asking, but the day after the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, my wife and I went to see The Dark Knight Rises at the IMAX theater near us in Michigan. We had purchased our tickets in advance, and decided to use them.

The only real question here is why isn’t there a geyser spewing from the broken hydrant?

Visited St. Louis a few years ago, and got myself to the Hill, as suggested by locals. Ended up at Mama’s, with these as an appetizer.

No one would have thrown a shoe at Hillary. She’s perfect.
