Ramblings on politics, film, music, literature, current events, pop culture, lists, dirty words, trapezoids, birds, cartoons and any other damned thing that strikes my synapses. A 39ish-year-old freelance journalist and writer living with his wife and baby daughter in the hardscrabble environs of Oklahoma, Chase McInerney now spends much of his time frozen in stark, cold sweat-inducing, gut-percolating fear. For it will be soon ... yes, very, very soon.
This Washington Post's March 24 headline for a story profiling Jeff Weise, the teen who went on a murderous rampage in Red Lake, Minn., really gets to the heart of the tragedy: "Shooter Described as Deeply Disturbed."

Valid...
Definitely a "Man Bites Dog" headline. Press perspective is completely Magoo'ed night now. Not to make light of the tragedy, but perhaps the Posties would have more luck with headlines if the gunman was "Genial, of good humour and asked for permission to discharge his weaponry."
