When bat-shit crazy is an understatement

O.J. Simpson recently told the parole hearing that released him after nine years in prison that he had led a “conflict-free” life.

After hearing that from a man convicted of causing wrongful death, kidnapping and armed robbery — and who entered a no-contest plea on a case of wife-beating that sent Nicole Simpson to hospital (the eighth time the cops had answered a 911 call from the doomed woman) — I thought narcissistic bullshit couldn’t find a higher gear.

I was wrong.

Donald Trump subsequently claimed that he was the second most “presidential” person to occupy the White House … after Abraham Lincoln.

NRA Membership Surges By 100,000 In Wake Of Sandy Hook Shooting

The National Rifle Association's paying member ranks have grown by 100,000 in the wake of the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the organization told Politico on Thursday.

In the days since the Dec. 14 massacre -- in which a gunman armed with a military-style assault weapon and high-capacity magazines shot and killed 26 people, including 20 young children -- the NRA's membership increased from 4.1 million to 4.2 million, Politico's Mike Allen reports. New members must pay a fee of $25, and in return get access to NRA events and a free gift.

NRA: White House Meeting 'Had Nothing To Do With Keeping Our Children Safe'

The National Rifle Association met with Vice President Joe Biden's school safety study group on Thursday and afterward said the participants spent most their time on proposals to limit gun rights. The NRA says it, quote, "will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen."
