Monday Open Thread [7.23.12]
I am fighting off a stomach bug or food poisoning. So I am home slowly recovering and compiling a Polling Report for later this afternoon. So today’s open thread is just going to be a fun video:
Breaking: NCAA Announces PSU’s Punishment
They announced these sanctions live this morning, from USA Today:
Mike Castle lamented the future Colorado tragedy in 2004
Colorado Murder Gun Was Illegal Till 2004
— by Dave Johnson
The weapon the guy used in Colorado — and assault rifle with a drum magazine that can hold 100 rounds — was illegal under the federal assault weapons ban.
But the federal assault weapons ban was killed by Republicans in 2004,
Reps. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., and Michael Castle, R-Del., said they were disheartened. “My leadership is playing Russian roulette,” Shays said. “There will be without question a horrific crime committed without an assault weapon ban, and every member of Congress will have to ask where were they on this issue.”
Castle said gun manufacturers have offered discounts and pre-orders for months. “The gunmakers are salivating,” he said. “I hate to think of what can happen now.”
Heck of a job GOP! Way to go guys.

Conservatives, where is your sense of decency? Where is your humanity?
“Where were the men of flight 93???? Someone should have stopped this man,” he wrote. “…All that was needed is one Courages/Brave man prepared mentally or otherwise to stop this it could have been done.”

A gorgeous Sunday and it seems to be pretty quiet everywhere — much of the political world is still wrapped up in the Aurora murders.

Outsourcing Under President Romney
With new revealations coming out about Romney’s work to outsource 10s of thousands of jobs to India, Mexico and Burma, it is worth taking a moment to try and figure out what Romney would outsource in the unlikely event that he becomes President.

Let’s Stay Together – True Story
I was having dinner at Klondike Kate’s tonight where a combo was playing and getting polite applause after each song. It was all very chill until the singer sang the first few notes of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” and a cheer went up. To me it was pretty obvious that the crowd was cheering for the President. It was a neat little moment. Anyway, turns out…Al Green is a threat to the American way of life.
