The NY Times Editorial Board, safely ensconced in their workplace with armed security, is Very Upset over the way people have engaged post-Oregon shooting (but not enough to actually offer condolences) The Political Ritual After Mass Shootings The Republican presidential candidates were quick to offer sympathy but little else to the nation, to the grieving […]
