Lawmakers Offer ‘Prayers’ For Mass Shooting Victims, Receive Large Checks From The NRA

Following Wednesday afternoon’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, which left at least 14 people dead, numerous lawmakers tweeted their “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of the gruesome tragedy. But many of the same congresspeople who were quick to publicly register their feelings about the 352nd mass shooting this year, received thousands of dollars from the National Rifle Association and voted against sensible gun reforms like expanding background checks to more gun purchases.

remember that post about how aaron burr was a cat person? well, guess what. his daughter theodosia definitely wasn’t.

(Charles Felton Pidgin: Theodosia, the First Gentlewoman of Her Time) Burr had written voluminously to his daughter concerning his acquaintanceship with Jeremy Bentham, and the pleasant times he passed with him at his house in London. Burr told his daughter that Bentham liked cats. She replied:

“I am sorry Jeremy Bentham likes cats. I hate them; but hence-forth I shall treat them with infinite deference, and, whenever a cat crosses my path, make her my obeisance as one of the family of his chosen favourites.”

i am sorry jeremy bentham likes cats >:( aaron burr theodosia burr alston

Some time ago, Madame R., showing me her jewels, seemed particularly pleased with an earring of Italian sculpture out of conch-shell. Of course I admired them. To-day she made them a present to you. I declined as long as I could, for though they are pretty as curiosities, they are things not for you to wear. Still, they are very pretty to stare at and so you shall have them.
