My 2010 Awl profile of the Wisconsin school shooting in Marinette and the gaps in training teachers about “active shooters”

How America’s unchecked gun culture–and an increase in conceal carry, “stand your ground” philosophy made the Trayvon Martin shooting inevitable.

The “Silencers are Legal” campaign and how it aims to make compressed fire hunting the norm.

The tens of millions views video cult of laughing at women injured while shooting guns.

All-Minneapolis Muslim: Were Lowe’s and Kayak Right to Pull Ads?

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Recently, at the urging of American Christians in Florida, Kayak.com and Lowe’s pulled sponsorship of the show “All-American Muslim.” The Florida Family Association insisted the cable reality show, which follows a number of Muslim Americans though their daily lives, was “attempting to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad.”

As a sometime resident of Minneapolis, I find myself on a daily basis in close proximity to many American Muslims. Most Americans may not know this, but the largest city in Minnesota boasts the highest population of Somalis in North America. Almost all of them are Muslim. Dangerous Muslims. Just last month, a Minnesota woman was found guilty of sending money to Somali terror group al-Shabab.

Photos Surface of Anti-Obamacare Senator McCain Benefitting from Socialized Health Care

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

john-mccain.jpgJohn McCain has said he is dedicated to repealing and replacing “Obamacare.” During the 2008 campaign, McCain also accused Obama of being a socialist.

Well, obviously Senator McCain is a hypocrite. In the above undated photo, the senator can clearly be seen benefiting from socialized health care. We look forward to the senator’s retraction and apology.

(This is actually how political commentary works now. Everyone ready for 2012?)
