Well shit, what school got shot up today? Haven't looked at the news yet, but odds are depressingly good that there was a school shooting somewhere around the US most days.

I don't know what's worse: the fact that these don't make national news anymore because they are so common or that I found out about the shooting through The Onion of all places.

Yeah, I find out from seeing this infamous Onion headline. Again. Unfortunately we all know what it means by now.
