Gunfire at NASA?

[Songbird]

Is the Earth in some sort of strange ****ing cosmic forcefield? What the **** is up with humanity right now?

If the killer was a NASA person, they either need to do better profiling or do a better job of helping their employees relieve stress.

Bad stuff happening in April go way, way back. here's a couple:

4/14/1865 Lincoln assassinated

4/15/1912 Titantic sinks

And then there's tax deadline day ...

Oh my God...reporter in crowd calls out, 'Were any of the (muffled) Asian?'

I'm guessing "hostages" or a synonym was the inaudible word.

And in the absence of any developments, coverage seems fixated on the speed of the emails alerting NASA employees to the shooting.

I guess I'm screwed if a gunman ever walks into my building.

I check e-mail when I come in, and then afterwards only if I'm expecting something.

Does the term "PA system" not mean anything anymore?

What's next, fire drills by e-mail?

Aren't launches done in Florida, not Houston?

Launches are in Florida, but landings are in Houston.

I think it was just the shuttle simulator backfiring before takeoff.

Either that or Lisa Nowak decided to pay another visit to Colleen Shipman.

Nowak.... one of the teachers killed at Va. Tech

Some of the rash of stuff in April isn't a coincidence. As I recall, the OKC bombing was purposely timed for the anniversary of the Branch Davidian raid in Waco, and I think the Columbine kids picked Hitler's birthday for their rampage.

No doubt in the future some lunatic will commemorate the anniversary of Virginia Tech with his own killing spree.

April is indeed the cruelest month.
