The Smoking Gun has a copy of “Richard McBeef,” a play by Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-hui. Early reviews are not particularly favorable.

That feeling of helplessness has been difficult to reconcile because I

…She takes that next step toward full-blown dementia, her BDS burning so hotly it could melt steel.  That is, if steel could be melted by something very hot.  Which we know is impossible. Anyway, apparently not content with being a mere Truther, Rosie used her extra large stool on ABC’s “The View” Tuesday to raise the inference that Bush was quite happy to see all them black folk die during
