Anyone Who can’t See that the GOP is Purposely Provoking violence is an Idiot
It was my intent to do part IV of my Common-Sense Plan to Save the Postal Service, but in light of the senseless shooting committed by Jared Loughner in Arizona on Saturday, January 8, and the grossly disingenuous response by the GOP, I felt that I would be unforgivably remiss if I joined much of the weak-kneed press in failing to point out that anyone who doesn't recognize that this shooting is a direct result of the GOP's irresponsible and concerted campaign of violent rhetoric is either a fool, complicit, or blind.

Is there a Difference Between Charles Manson and Sarah Palin?
Charles Manson never killed anyone and neither has Sarah Palin! Of course, that assumes that you define "anyone" as a human being and not an unsuspecting moose who happened to run on the set of a reality show while a gun-totting reality star pulls the trigger just for kicks. Now with Charles Manson he encouraged others to kill and they did. And he was convicted for what amounts to conspiracy to commit murder. The question is "Has Sarah Palin encouraged others to commit murder?"

Americans Embarrassed by Massacre in Arizona
It's a fact that for every 100 American citizens there are 90 guns floating around in the USA. Only Yemen is remotely close to the USA in this race to the bottom at 61 out of 100. Yemen! The USA is the most armed country in the world! It's an embarassment and Americans are tiring of this earned bad reputation.
