Damn, has it really been a week? I suppose its possible. Geesh. I guess I could blame it on the Virginia Tech shooting rampage and the chaos that ensued, but I’d be lying a little.

I have to say, I was pretty shell-shocked about it, in a blogger sense. Sure, there’s plenty to blog about, but what is there to say that wasn’t already said by midnight the evening of the shootings? The whole “only a domestic incident” comment and then the identity of the shooter revealed…after all that, it’s hard to say anything that is very meaningful.

I did get to see the Oprah special (because I stayed home on Wednesday due to a sick dog) and she had one of the kids from Columbine on. His sister was one of the first victims to die and he and his father now go around the country and give lectures on the topic, focusing not on the killer but on their sister/daughter. Just the opposite of what the media did when they got the tapes and letters from the VT shooter. If I’m upset about one thing, its not about gun control or immigration, its the media and how they continued to publicize that filth. Its one thing to inform the public and another to give the shooter exactly what he wanted. I’m sure there’s a whole lot more about the entire situation that I don’t know/don’t understand, but I’m okay with that right now.
