Would immediately turn it off again for a couple of hours, rinse, repeat.
9-11 came and went, and the only place I saw 9-11 memorialized was the funny papers. was that about?

Worse by far was that every person that knew better (include Senator Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords) parroted that tired and worn-out trope that maybe now Americans would learn to turn away from violence.

Screw that — we have not and we will not.
