fknlo posted:Map of gun deaths from 2004-2010 Wikipedia posted:This terminology came into use in the United States presidential election of 2000 on an episode of the Today show on October 30, 2000. According to AlterNet and The Washington Post, the terms were coined by journalist Tim Russert, during his televised coverage of the 2000 presidential election.[1] That was not the first election during which the news media used colored maps to depict voter preferences in the various states, but it was the first time a standard color scheme took hold; the colors were often reversed or different colors used before the 2000 election. So no, it has nothing to do with regional variation in suicide rate and preferred means of committing suicide.

Shut Down the Benghazi Committeequote:House Republicans may be disinclined to disband the Select Committee on Benghazi with the presidential race heating up. But at the very least they should rename their laughable crusade, which has cost taxpayers $4.6 million, “the Inquisition of Hillary Rodham Clinton.”  So are McCarthy's comments catching on? Is this turning point? I figure eventually the Benghazi Committee will end. Will it be on the last day of President Hillary's term? After she's dead? When the Clinton name is forgotten to the depths of history? William Bear fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Oct 7, 2015 |

Some of these people have never read the Bible, have they? Last time I checked, Jesus didn't exactly kick rear end, take names and threaten people at gunpoint. I guess nobody told them he was a brown Jew living in the Middle East.
