    I am usually able to spot which stories will have comments disabled but this one is a puzzler to me:

    http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/fe...ille-shooting/

    Is it out of respect for the dead? (If so, why this story and not other tragic stories?) Is it fear of more of the raging gun debate?

    "The District Attorney's office said 13 weeks would not represent a viable fetus and would not support a second murder charge," DeBusk said this morning.

    Would be my guess.

    I can only imagine the fuckwit comments that would have gone with this story:

    http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/fe...d-with-dui-is/
    Lincoln Fight Club...

    Listen online: KEXP 90.3 Seattle - Kexp.org

    "Republicans in East Tennessee live in a government compound of national and state forests, land grant universities, nuclear research labs, and TVA lakes and dams, while pretending to be coonskin cappers guarding the mountain passes to stop socialism." - (Commenter from Oregon discussing the Tennessee Governors contest in the NYT) (hat tip to Hank IV)
