Mass Murder and Anti-Depressants

Is there a connection between the use of prescription anti-depressants and the recent spate of ultra-violent shootings?

There seems to be a pattern. The Columbine and Louisville killers were on anti-depressents. It was announced this morning that the Virginia Tech shooter was being treated for depression. I would bet that his treatment included prescription drugs such as Prozac or Zoloft.

The PR research department is looking into other shootings such as the Salt Lake City mall shooting and the Atlanta stock brokerage shooting.

I'll let you know what they find.

Is Earthlink Politically Biased?

I’ve been a customer of Earthlink for a number of years, but I’m starting to grow tired of them. First of all, their DSL service leaves a lot to be desired - slow connections, random disconnects - it’s annoying. But now I’ve encountered the final straw.

I think Earthlink is biased against Republicans.

What's my evidence?

I’m sure Perry Mason wouldn’t base a case on this, but check out the images below.

Earthlink’s ScamBlocker categorizes LittleGreenFootballs.com and MichelleMalkin.com as possible scams and warns me to “proceed with caution”. In fact, with LGF, they want me to “proceed with extreme caution”.

But the DailyKos and Huffington? No problems there.

John Stuart Mill Quote

Here is the full John Stuart Mill quote from Retired Army Colonel Jack Jacobs' appearance on MSNBC regarding the British hostage situation:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
