And as so many have said before me what digby says.
And the Democrats are sending the motherfucker a blank check? For this?
WTF?
A Moment of Silence? Why?
Yesterday on my way home from work, I heard the our Governor was asking for a state-wide moment of silence for the victims of the Virginia tech shooting rampage. Why?

Victor Jara
My friend Dan suggested last night that instead of celebrating the death of Pinochet the piece of dogshit, I celebrate the memory of Victor Jara instead.
“Who was Victor Jara?” I asked.
Victor Jara, he told me, was a Chilean guitar player who sang protest songs, who was arrested September 12, the day after Pinochet’s coup. [...]
