Uh. Rep. Joe Barton just suggested that the FCC try to shut down "the Internet and all the social media" used by ISIS.

I really miss Molly Ivins, right now.

I thought the lax gun laws were supposed to guarantee there were always plenty of good guys with guns around to kill the terrorists before they got started. So which is it: is Texas unsafe because it gives refugees easy access to guns, or was Paris unsafe because it denied citizens easy access to guns?

@Roger Moore: Both. Everywhere is unsafe. All the time. Because Obama.

I miss Molly Ivins acutely right now. I can just imagine what she’d be writing about the current crop of presidential candidates.

We all miss Molly. Hunter too. They both could see the crooks coming from miles away and could skewer them with a laugh.

Good news: Mrs. Cisco is home, after a week in the hospital and two more in rehab.
Recuperation is progressing at levels “higher than anticipated.”
A full recovery is expected.
