    Watching the news conference and noticing an ET (Entertainment Tonight) microphone among all the microphones mounted at the front. I guess this is an entertainment story.

    How did the Orlando police miscount the dead. Total went from the initial 20 to now 50

    With an AR/AK style rifle? Not at all.

    Initial total came in the immediate and hectic aftermath. Final count came after a careful search of the club.

    I wonder if the shooter was a swimmer

    Reporter question: Is this a hate crime or a terrorist attack?

    Can't it be both?

    They gave a local Muslim cleric a lot of time in the news conference. I can't imagine how hard that was for him.

    When I woke up this morning they were just referring to injuries.

    The real question is what will slacktivists use as their Facebook profile picture? My guess is a rainbow-tinted Magic Kingdom.

    Shooter's father says "This has nothing to do with religion."

    For narrative purposes liberals rooting for hate crime , conservatives rooting for terrorists attack.
