Anyone notice that after the last election a lot more people are dieing? What was sometimes said in jest,...”0bama’s fault” is becoming all to real.

Horrible story. Too many of them these days. The story doesn’t mention a mother. I’m not sure I hope she’s surviving somewhere...

It looks like the “worst financial crisis since the Great Depression” is working out precisely the way the Democrats planned it.

And the mother is..

A father killed himself and his two sons last week. That was part of a custody dispute. Wonder if this is simular.

In almost all of these cases, someone is newly unemployed and I suspect feels like there’s no hope.

Orting’s only about 10 miles from where I live.

I know they’ll mention this at church tomorrow.

Gee. I was kinda hoping we could have a day without the report of a mass murder.

Guess this ain’t it.

Maybe tomorrow.

Obama’s been in office for three months, and while he’s no good, the bad state of our country is mostly due to the terrible president we had the previous eight years.

It really makes me sick. Kids trust their dad and then he blows them away. I can’t even entertain the thought of doing harm to my three children or my wife. There’s a sickness in this land, and I believe it has something to do with our nation’s rejection of God.

There were huge numbers of suicides and family killings during the depression as well.

Is it always a full moon in your world, Moonman? You’re howlingly funny, and a little crazy too.

That’s not 100% accurate. Consider the decisions made under Barry’s watch: printing more money, taking over GM, failed stimulus plan, AIG bonus fiasco.
