Oh my god, this is huge! How huge? On page A6 of today's Wall Street Journal, there is a photo of this stunning act. The image measures 5 1/2 inches wide by 4 3/4 deep, and shows in living color the presidential index finger pulling at the outside edge of the presidential right eye. (Now I am reassured that he is actually a human being, and not just a puppet of the Democratic Party as I have long suspected.) The alleged tearing up of the President--you can't really see any wetness or even a glistening--made the TV news last night, with at least 10 different journalists mentioning on-air that he cried. Oh yeah, they also mentioned that 27, or maybe 28 or maybe 26, people were killed.
Lest you think I am treating this subject in too lighthearted a manner, let me assure you, I am not. The events of December 14 seemed to me a turning point in America, wherein it became obvious that we are in serious trouble as a society. There are so many questions, not the least of which is why did the mother of the 20-year-old murderer, living in a quiet, suburban community with virtually no crime--Newtown had not seen a murder in ten years-- own so many assault weapons? Why do our schools still not have better protection from invaders? And most of all, how did this young man find it in his heart to do what he did? Something is wrong out there, and the Powers That Be, crying or not, are doing nothing to address the obvious pressing issue: The declining mental health of our society.
