Such a disappearing act! Something disappeared right before our eyes, and almost no one noticed.

Last week, all the boards and blogs were abuzz with the NRA's sob story about how they were in such dire danger of being financially insolvent. It caught the whole country's attention--for about ten minutes.

This week---NRA might as well stand for Nosy Russian Assholes. The story seems to have vanished in a puff of smoke. The gun nuts have moved on to their next propaganda project. They floated the financial difficulty balloon, with all of the NRA's usual credibility behind it, and it sank like the lead in their bullets. Oh, well.

Next!

maybe Ollie North could sell some Tow Missel's to Iran or Putin to raise money.

The Russian connection to NRA money Laundry activities kind of blew up in their face. Who would have thunk.

we were encouraged to not send money, but rather, our "thoughts and prayers."

Guess it worked - it always has for the shootings, right?
