NEW YORKCheers filled the streets and American flags waved triumphantly through the air today as the nation turned out in full force to celebrate an entire week having passed since the last time a madman opened fire on innocent civilians in some kind of fatal mass shooting. We did it, folks! We banded together and managed to go seven whole days without killing our fellow Americans in a senseless murdering spree! Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said in a speech to jubilant throngs gathered in Times Square. Yes, some people were shot this week, but not in a random, highly public, viscerally disturbing way andmost importantlynot all in one place, by one psychopath. Maybe one day we can live in a society where abominable large-scale gun violence stays out of the national headlines for a whole month even! At press time, federal authorities had issued a reminder to all Americans that a lot can happen in 24 hours, so lets not get too excited yet.
Of course it's the Onion... What isn't the onion lately, eh? Oh, and... TOO BAD THEY GOT IT WRONG!

Did anyone get the latest "Capitol Update" from king of franking, Tim Murphy?
If so, I need to talk about the article in it titled, "Energy Overregulations Weakening Job Growth.
I went to lengths today to find out where they got their statistics when seeing it was according to a consulting group who calls itself "NERA Economic Consulting".
Long story short, I want to find out who funds this international economy based "writers of papers"... stinks to high heaven, which is right in line with Timmy, as you may know.
