The Newtown murders of 20 first-graders didn't suddenly go away, but
the story has sort of gone away in the feckless mass media and the cable TV
news shows….the breathless media and the talking heads are endlessly chasing
the next blowout news sensation.
E. J. Dionne, in the Washington Post, has again sagely offered a calm jolt
to our communal sensibilities: his
column last Sunday simply referred to the routine daily toll of gun deaths in
America as "slow-motion mass murder." Read it here.
These are not E. J.'s words, but
they shout out his convictions.
Mine too.
Other than many craven
representatives in Congress, who are the people who have forgotten
Newtown, and given up their passionate revulsion?
