TIH: 4/16

2007


On April 16, 2007, a student killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., before taking his own life in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.

The House ethics committee listed 303 current and former lawmakers who had overdrawn their House bank accounts.

Comment:  One incident in a history of scandal and outrage after scandal and outrage, yet Congress never gets cleaned up. Why is this?  Perhaps because they are very good at distracting the public and media  with hot-button issues and make-believe solutions.
