On the proposals for gun control

First of all, here's a list of all the proposals President Obama and Vice President Biden have made which would have prevented the atrocity at Sandy Hook.




(it's not even likely that the magazine size limit would have reduced casualties--see this demonstration from Mills Fleet Farm)

Now here's a list of proposals they rejected that would have helped:

• Police in schools
• Armed teachers

And for a bit of amusement, the excellent NRA commercial asking why President Obama's children are worthy of armed guards (but not the rest of our children) has been derided by the White House as "cowardly."   As if delegating the attack on the NRA to one's press secretary isn't cowardly.

(be a man, Barack, and do your dirty work yourself!)

Also in the "say what?" category is this "puff piece" about Mrs. Obama's fashion choices.  Not only does it suggest that it would be somehow surprising of someone can have substance and nice threads, but it also suggests that Mrs. Obama knows how to do it without spending a ton of money--despite abundant articles noting that she routinely wears garments costing thousands of dollars apiece.

I'm no antagonist of high end couture (except the really bizaaare stuff), but please, let's not pretend that Michelle Obama is a woman of the people.
