    Some of the more sympathetic college students are upset that a bunch of people stole their headlines by getting massacred. #PrayforParis might be empty, but it's preferable to #FuckParis.

    Of course you're not going to get upset when someone changes their profile pic. Showing great intellectual honesty today.

    I did my share today. For lunch, I had Freedom Fries.

    The three suicide bombers who attacked the Stade de France on Friday night all wore the same type of explosive vest, augmented with a special detonator packed with nails to increase the killing capacity, the Paris prosecutor said.

    The vests were loaded with TATP, a highly volatile organic, peroxide-based explosive, the prosecutor, Francois Molins, said.

    One of the suicide bombers, identified as a 25-year-old Syrian man, was carrying a passport that was registered when the passport holder arrived in Leros, Greece, Greece’s minister of public order said.

    That Syrian man detonated his vest outside one of the stadium’s main entrances, Gate D, apparently after he was prevented from entering the stadium. He killed himself and a bystander.

    Ten minutes later, another bomber blew himself up outside Gate H of the stadium, and later, the third suicide bomber detonated his vest on the Rue de la Cokerie, just outside a McDonald’s restaurant.

    It's been OK to call them French Fries for years now.

    Le Monde has footage, shot by one of its people, of the crowd fleeing the theater and getting shot.

    Friends dragging their friends bodies. Women dangling from windows in an attempt to hide from the shooter (s). It is hard stuff to watch.

    I won't post a link but it is easy to find.

    It should never have not been OK.

    These kinds of events are going to continue to happen. We've been dealing with this for the last 1400 years. Just here in America, we've been dealing with radical Islam since the beginning, hell they are why the Marines came into existence. The goal by these people is to usher in a worldwide caliphate to bring about the Mahdi. Lax immigration policies and political correctness are tools they use to further their agenda. People shouldn't be shocked anymore by events like this.

    She's a politician, engaged in a campaign in which she is trying to win an election that puts her essentially in charge of dealing with this problem.

    This seems more than OK with me. What would you like her to do? Suspend her campaign? Select Sarah Palin as a running mate?

    What other serious issues would you like her to respectfully decline to address?
