Here's a question for you and your NRA cohorts:
What's to be done with that 9-year-old alleged shooter in Washington?
Only criminals with have handguns, right?
Nice job, guys.

It’s too good to let pass.
In writing about Topic X, authors often manage to slip in a little elbow about Topic Y to the ribs of the body politic; and those little nuggets should be identified and celebrated.
To wit: In Salon.com you will find an article by Glenn Greenwald discussing Iran as the source of some discomfort, alright—evil—and you will also find this: “while the Face of American Meritocracy, NBC News‘ Luke Russert…”
Think about it. Meritocracy, rising on the merits of one’s efforts; and Luke Russert, elevated to a job with a major news organization upon the death of his father, Tim.
Also think about using upper case: Face of American Meritocracy.
Then dedicate an appreciative chuckle to Greenwald.
You’re welcome.
