sometimes stupid feels better

As a result of the Boston Marathon bombings yesterday, I learned that there's a wacko conspiracy theory out there claiming that the Newton, CT shootings never really happened.  According to the disturbed and scary people who believe this, the shootings were faked by Obama to validate his push for gun control.  I may have been slow in coming by this "news," but frankly, I wish I hadn't heard about it at all.  Knowing about this kind of crap is depressing as hell.
