I watched the memorial at Ft. Hood today. Just passing thoughts that hit me:

*Is it wrong, after so much gunfire, to wish someone could take a trank rifle to the talking heads, especially Mike Gerson and Wolf Blitzer? So much talk about how solemn it is while never shutting up long enough to give a watcher a chance at solemn thought was cloying, annoying, and downright repetitive. The mute button saved my sanity.

*The very Christian religious milieu was almost overwhelming.

*In spite of White House statements about news of an upcoming troop surge in Afghanistan being premature, upon hearing his speech at Ft. Hood, I believe Obama has decided to commit to a long time American presence there. This bows me with grief even more than the sight of 13 helmets and boots.

*CNN? You suck. You couldn’t even keep sound and picture aligned—this should not have looked like a badly dubbed kung-fu flick.

*Could we get some agreement on the data on the victims? Some have a different hometown listed every other display?!
