5) Employers hate us — but they’ll take our money as customers, of course.
6) Charlize Theron can’t act — see #2 above.
7) Britain sees positive side of gun control: here, here, here and especially here — and that’s just over the past 12 hours. (Hint: one of those isn’t really a shootworthy thing, but it should be.)
8) Show yer bum for charity — oh, why not?
9) America’s love affair with guns is only getting stronger — take that, Beto you has-been loser.
10) Headline of the year — who would have thought that this was illegal in Britain?
