Sigh. Another day, another load of bullshit from Glenn Reynolds.
I just looked over and what's Instapundit got on the Washington shooter?
Well, since he wanted to make sure we knew the guy wasn't a "Texan" yesterday, today we have to know the (apparently black) guy liked the black president.
I know - you're shocked - me too.
There's also a lot of blather about the AR-15, and how the media got the gun wrong, blah, blah, blah.
But - lo and behold - check out what DRUDGE is linking to, today, now that the information stream is settling:
Really? Didn't I say, yesterday, "the real 'narrative' here is how much Americans are learning to hate each other"?
Or how about this from Drudge:
Some saw the tragedy as an opportunity to publicly air some difficult topics that Buddhists most often discuss only among themselves. Is the peaceful Buddhist an illusion? Do Buddhists and Buddhist temples deal directly enough with the topic of mental illness? And, in fact, might Buddhism hold a special attraction for people who are mentally ill?
“As Buddhism has spread in the West, it has put forth and maintained an image of being a peaceful religion,” Buddhist ethicist Justin Whitaker, author of the American Buddhist Perspective blog, wrote Tuesday. “This is a myth.”
Buddhism can seem particularly appealing to “mentally unbalanced people seeking to right the ship of their lives, to self-medicate, to curb their impulses, or to give them a firmer grip on reality,” Clark Strand, a contributing editor to the Buddhist publication Tricycle magazine and a former Zen monk, said in an interview.
I've been telling you that, in one form or another, for some time, too.
So once again it's happened - just like with music:
Based solely on watching the "spiritual" machinations of my country - I'm nailing another shooting down, but without a word (or link) from conservatism's indispensable man. The NewAge guy who's always pushing yoga, meditation, and outright quackery.

It's totally chickenshit.
Chickenshit to me and both of our readers - As I wrote once before, under these identical circumstances:
When it comes to NewAge, Law Professors blogging, and sorting this nation out, "Today's Intellectual Class Couldn't Catch A Cold"...
