One Hundred Percent Men.
I watched a former boss - academia - make a list of people to reach out to for a leadership position. I walked back into his office and said "27...and not a single woman? How is that EVEN possible?"
I love counting. Have for years.

What Happened to Maureen Walsh's Courage?.
fairly unbalanced, I repeat my question: could you please show me data or citations that justify fear of mass confiscations preceded by a registry here in the U.S.?

This Morning a Man Told Me to Smile....
And were you asked to smile, biffp, like I was on the way home today? I'm guessing not. Get told to smile a dozen times and you'll want to put your fist through someone's teeth.
Confidential to panhandler at Dick's this afternoon: I can take you in a fair fight. And I will. Don't ever tell me to smile again.

Washington State: Poster Child for Not Taking Guns Away from Angry Men Who Have Restraining Orders Against Them.
@59, it's just the latest straw man argument - women should arm up to survive in this world. I categorically reject that argument, though I have to say, if you follow the money it's terrific for the gun manufacturers.
There are gun owners out there who want to engage in real dialogue on ways to reduce gun deaths and injuries while respecting everyone's rights. They're a pleasure to talk with and it's a bummer that people like "Gene Stoner" keep drowning them out.

Saturday Morning News.
Will parents be informed which teachers are carrying?
Sweet jesus, when I think of some of the deeply unstable men and women who taught me as a child, I just feel for those kids.

We Need Your Help Requiring Background Checks for Guns.
Part of what's so perplexing to me is that these guys complain that the police aren't enforcing the 20,000 laws on the books (and when I ask them to name specific laws, I don't really get a response) but then seem to think the police would have the capacity to come in and confiscate guns. There's a disconnect there.
