Reading the News

Seems like the only story these days is the weather.

"How cold is it gonna' be? What's the wind chill? Weather storm warning or advisory?"

Relentless.

But there has been some news.

Like the mother of four shot to death in Vegas by a teenager who was supposedly part of a road rage incident.

The story goes:

Incident

Mom goes home and gets son and his gun.

They look for the guy, find him, retreat.

Guy comes after her and there's a gunfight.

She's killed.

That's just an awful story, and one that sort of illustrates what happens these days. People don't fistfight. People just don't flip others off. It goes straight to a gunfight.

Sad.

Speaking of sad, what's up with Rudy Guliani?

He goes off on the current sitting president and really says something that is nasty and sort of arbitrary. He 'doesn't think Obama loves America'?

He should've stopped his sentence with 'doesn't think.'

And whatever.

Be critical.

I was appalled at the guy who threw a shoe at George W. (who I wasn't a fan of). Come on! It's the sitting president!

No respect at all?

And make a point, oh wonderful mayor!

How is Obama supposed to answer such a comment?

"I DO love America?"

I've never been a Rudy fan. He sits there at every Yankee game, in the first row, trying to make patriotic with his NYPD and Fire Department hat.

We get it, Rudy. You were the mayor.

Long before these inane comments I wanted him to go away.

I hate getting into such a discussion because there's no winning it, but it really is pretty lame to go off on the president of the country based on something he feels or doesn't feel. How the hell does Rudy even comprehend such a thing?

Not big on that story at all.

The American sniper story is also going on.

I have been reading a lot (see weather note above) and some of the books I've read have dealt with mental illness on epic levels.

People hearing voices.

Folks being violent for the simple reason that they can't control impulses.

It's too sad to comprehend.

It appears the guy who killed the American sniper was really quite out of touch. Chris Kyle even sent a text saying something along those lines in the moments before the guy killed him.

One question:

Why is that guy handed a gun at a range?

I'm going back to the weather.

I don't understand the news.
