Horrible.
I saw the count was 22 dead when I got off the plane at the airport but it’s up to 33 dead now. I can’t imagine what it must be like for those families with children attending that school.
Hey, how come the media never reports on all the good news coming out of Virginia Tech?

From today:
If Al Sharpton is an imperfect spokesperson for an issue, and you keep putting him on the teevee to be the spokesperson for that issue, then the obvious conclusion is that this is a deliberate strategy.
The “liberal” media does this often. If they believe that an issue is foolish they will bring someone foolish on television to defend the issue, thus making the issue actually appear to be foolish. The media is neither “liberal” nor “conservative”. The media is a business with an interest in self-preservation. They gravitate towards sensationalism and discount any real criticism of themselves.
By the way, has Islamic terrorism been connected to today’s shootings at Virginia Tech yet?

Tyler Hamilton from the VeloNews interview:
No one has come up to me and flipped me the bird. If they choose to, that’s fine. I respect that.
Whaa? You respect someone that flips you off? I guess I’ll have to give you some respect the next time I see you.
