Short ‘n’ Stubby: Why Ms. Manx likes gun control

Ms. Manx is a fan of gun control. And why not? You’d be surprised how many armed and stoopid people have it in for pretty calico kitties with stumpy tails. Or kitties of any color and kind, come to that. The world is full of nuts, and today, another one went on a rootin’, tootin’, shootin’ rampage–once again, in Texas, at a university already infamous for that sort of thing. (Someone on the tweeter gave the sage advice that nutty shooters should cut out the middlemen and just turn the gun on themselves right away. Ms. Manx, after she had picked her giggling self up off the floor, heartily concurred and pressed ReTweet.)

But you wanna know what really made the kitty laugh? This. The same university where the shooting happened, by coincidence, is due to host a certain cross-dressing gun nutter tonight. Think he’ll show? If he’s at all smart, The Divine Ms. M hopes he’ll slink away with his tail between his legs, and NOT reschedule. (But then again, remember the NRA and its ludicrous response to Columbine? That’s why we call ’em gun NUTS, people. If they were sane, they’d know better than to tout guns as a one-size-fits-all solution to their guncrime problem.)

Oh, and Ms. Manx would also like to give a hearty thumbs-up to this letter writer. She’s only sorry she wasn’t born a polydactyl; then she’d have thumbs, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, to do it with. So she’s just gonna hoist both front paws in a thumbs-up movement, and hope you understand the gesture.

UPDATE: John “Mary Rosh” Lott’s planned speech did go ahead, but not on campus. What a fucking douche!
