i know we've been hearing about this all day...but i am just trying to figure out how many people that is who have lost their sh!t like this in the past couple years? Here is what i recall:

May 31, 2009 George Tiller shot
June 1 2009 arkansas recruiter shooting
June 10, 2009 Holocaust Museum shooting
Nov 9, 2009 Fort Hood
February 12, 2010 University of Alabama in Huntsville shooting
February 19, 2010 Plane crash at IRS
August 3, 2010 Hartford Distributors Shooting
September 01, 2010 Discovery Channel

what am i leaving out

and

does that seem like A LOT to anyone else?

It's a lot, but expected. The nutters come out of the woodwork every time a Democrat moves in to the White House, and now that the man there isn't white, it's much worse than usual. What pisses me off is that the media and the authorities refuse to call these people terrorists.

my theory is some kind of evolutionary overpopulation safety valve- the same kind of thing that causes animals to eat their young when the habitat can't afford increased numbers
