I mean, Seriously, what is going on with you Southern ReThug elected officials? I know you lost what was left of your pea-brains the moment this country sent that Uppity Negro to the White House not once, but TWICE.
So, you resort to making tasteless jokes about very real tragedies, and essentially let God and everyone know that you love your guns more than you care about a school full of kindergarteners who wont be seeing all the other milestones of their lives; that you dont give a shyt about terrorists if theyre home-grown; that you will hold up governance of the people if you cant run thangs.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing horror, I give you two state-sanctioned elected ReThugs: Senator Stacey Campfield of Tennessee, and State Rep. Nate Bell of Arkansas, courtesy of my fellow racism-chaser, the Field Negro:
A Tennessee state senator is refusing to apologize for what many are calling a tasteless joke about pressure cookers in his blog in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing.Republican State Sen. Stacey Campfield posted a photo of a pressure cooker with Assault Pressure Cooker (APC) printed below it.
The photo had labels and arrows pointing to all of the pots dangerous features including a muzzle break thingy that goes up and a tactical pistol grip.
Its also described as large-capacity, can cook for hours without reloading and the color was evil, black.
The blog post was titled, Here comes Feinstein again, an apparent dig at Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), one of the leading proponents in the battle for gun control. The image implied that pressure cookers might be her next target.
Two pressure cookers were turned into bombs in the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 260 people.
The rest is here!

to garner attention and funding.
Cable is partially to blame, what would they do without stories about these nuts?
That said the nuts would probably do their nuttery regardless but we'd hear about it less.
