Today in Stearns County (that would be one county removed from Wright County, home of The Outpost) a high school freshman fired upon two students, killing one and severely wounding another.
I haven't been able to watch any television today, but I heard a few bits and pieces of the story on the radio. So far the rumors seem to be that the gunboy was a loner, perhaps bullied. I have a headful of harsh thoughts about this kid and his parents, but before I spew a bunch of vitriol, I better get the whole story. I'll update this post tomorrow.
One thought for tonight: When I finally decide to let The Senator and The Governor out of the house again, they will be old enough to run for president.
Didn't know that was in your neighbourhood. Anxious-making, I'm sure.
If you have a moment, check out Dr. Sowell at http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell.html - his commentary on education is always on target (and on everything else he turns his eye to).
