I noted that Sen. Chris Murphy lashed out HARD at the Senate (those that were there, anyway), raking McConnell over the coals. And yet all we still hear is "thoughts and prayers".

I just want to go up to them and scream "WHY ARE YOU CARRYING THAT? WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?" It's sickening.
I have to rebut this comment to myself as it occurred to me that so many out there who have experienced this tragedy may be heartened enough by those "thoughts and prayers" to be able to get through a moment, a period, a day etc. My cynicism is only matched by my thoughtlessness.
