A preview from The Man:

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: We are owned by guns, and our only way out is Economic Civil War.

Why does this supposedly sophisticated nation abide the ritual sacrifice of our children to insane gun owners? Because it makes other people millions of dollars. And when we cross a milestone where one of the Michigan State student-survivors is also a Sandy Hook survivor and at least three of them are also Oxford High student-survivors, we must attack the Gun Lobby, the Death Lobby, the Republican Death Party, and the Red States that harbor these terrorists with the only weapon they fear: Money.

The Blue States keep the Red Ones from going bankrupt tomorrow and starving by next week. Let’s use it. We must force our Blue State governments to stop contributing money to the Federal Government unless the Red States meet our demands about guns, the disproportionate House and Senate that codifies it, and the bought-and-sold Supreme Court that protects it.

The saga of the premiere of “Rita Cosby Tonight” and the man who actually thought I was sabotaging it (as if anybody needed to), MSNBC president Rick Kaplan.

Well, that’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
