"150 years ago today, the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. America is forever indebted."
—tweet sent Tuesday by Senate Republicans

This just boggles me. Are they condoning assassination as a form of political protest? Are they saying killing presidents is good? I particularly don't understand their pointing out that it was a Republican president that was killed: is it now open season on the Bushes?

Lincoln's assassination was a world-shaking event. The world shakes because of the current Republicans in Congress, but for a different reason.

They won't refund his money and they won't give him a new hard drive: he's being told "take it up with the manufacturer". You know, the more that I hear about Best Buy's shenanigans, the less I like the company. But they are the only game in town for me. Maybe I'll look at Circuit City more closely when it comes time for us to buy a TV, not that Circuit City is any less subject to random bouts of asshattery.
