A friendly reminder

You can stream the two most recent episodes of Range Life at Radio Free America, anytime. (I fixed the streaming link on this page, too.)

Never, ever, ever vote for anyone who gets money from the NRA

A thought experiment from Timothy Egan, on the heels of another horrific and preventable tragedy of guns.

Let me try another take for you bad parents in office. Pretend you live in a pleasant, well-protected community of like-minded people, and you’re in charge. O.K., you don’t have to pretend. And let’s say there was a natural gas leak every three days in one of the homes in that community, a leak that killed entire families.

Your response would be to pray and do nothing. Or to pray and talk about everything except the gas leak. Or to pray and say you’re powerless to act because the gas company owns you. The response of those suffering would be to take control and kick you out. That’s what we have to do, and will, next November.
