I’m linking to John’s reasoned and logical analysis of the political fallout from the Virginia Tech shooting. Go read it. There is no need for me to comment other than… yeah, I agree. I don’t have anything to say, but if I did, it would be something akin to what John said, just with less “John-ness” to it. 
So I’m linking so he’ll get some traffic and/or technorati rankings. Well done John.
If I get slashdotted, it’s your fault
But thanks. I was trying quite hard to walk what I see as the narrow line of reality and reason between the screaming on both sides.

yeah.. like the /. crowd is all reading my useless crap!
The band of reality between the two poles is not narrow… it is a vast sea. :\

I Second the motion. John can be, well, John but he usually has a point, and this is certainly one of the good ones.

Some bandwidth usage graphs from here at work when a particular website got “slashdotted”…
