#Newtown: ‘Exotic Weapons’? Nope.

I’m convinced #MSNBC is a signifcant contributor to America’s mental illness problem. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 18, 2012 Today on the Endless Gun Control Telethon that is MSNBC — I Watch, So You Don’t Have To™ — a guest on Morning Joe referred to the Newtown shooting as exemplifying the problem caused by “exotic weapons.” This demonstrates the […]

Dan Collins and His Son

Childhood Onset Schizophrenia — a condition rare enough that the doctor had never seen it. Guess somebody had to draw the short straw. Damn. Hard luck, Dan.

Still Crazy, After All These Years

The loony bin, the funny farm, the nuthouse — it is not politically correct to refer to therapeutic institutions in such slang terminology, but this PC attitude of apologetic sensitivity toward the mentally ill doesn’t really help anyone, least of all the kooks themselves.
