KERFUFFLES I HAD NO INTEREST IN WRITING ABOUT

1. Something about the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau starting to offer tours of the tornado. They told a Springfield station they were going to offer tours, then said all they were doing is making a map for dum-dums who can’t follow the huge straight line west to east, and people’s minds were blown on Facebook.

2. This person posted a Photoshoped picture of a “Rebuild Joplin” shirt changed to read “Destroy Joplin” and people’s minds were blown, leaked out of their heads and were replaced by pure-rage machines. I only saw a few of the more than 100 comments before Facebook took the picture down after a flood of complaints, but there was definitely at least one “n-word” and multiple death threats.

I just thought I would alert you to these very important developments.
