You wanna be great? Get your house in order.

In my very first blog post, September 10, 2004, I wrote about why I opposed the re-election of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. From one paragraph of note on this morning after the assault weapon slaughter of children and teachers in a small town Texas school on May 24, 2022:

They have de-clawed law enforcement. […] The Federal Assault Weapons Ban will expire next Monday after proving its worth over ten years. Mr. Bush has shown zero leadership in calling for the extension of the ban on weapons needed by no one except soldiers. On Tuesday the National Rifle Association will endorse Bush/Cheney 04. I will hold Mr. Bush responsible for every assault-weapon death from Tuesday on. 

Today, a minority in the US Senate refuse to allow a vote on common sense public safety measures that will, when they are finally passed by legislators of a more refined conscience, make gun violence harder. I hold those senators responsible for this slaughter of innocents too … and the red electors who give them power to sit on their hands while American terrorists massacre vulnerable Americans … along with Mr. Bush, who didn’t bother to lead on this in 2004.

You wanna be great? Get your house in order.
