That most American of traditions.

I hope everyone on the board and their families are safe.

What a world.

Depressing, but sadly, not surprising at all.

In a couple of months (if not weeks), this tragedy will fade from the nation's collective memory, but there will be another to take its place, and another after that...

Sadly, an American tradition we could do without on this holiday (or any other day....)

I think the 9 that have been killed so far this weekend in Chicago already have faded....

Thank God, they have the kid in custody. After a police chase that started on highway 41 in Gurnee, he was stopped in Lake Forest, at Westleigh Road, and 41.... exactly two blocks from where I grew up through high school.
He made it all the way up to Madison, where he had planned on executing another mass shooting, before he lost his nerve and returned back to the burbs.

Among our greatest freedoms in America is the freedom to be shot up anywhere people congregate. Wear a helmet.
