Democratic Senators are better at taking advantage of tragedies than Pang.

"This afternoon Sanders sent out a fundraising appeal, seeking to raise money to fight Republicans and other "right-wing reactionaries" responsible for the climate that led to the shooting.

He writes:

Given the recent tragedy in Arizona, as well as the start of the new Congress, I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few words with political friends in Vermont and throughout the country. I also want to thank the very many supporters who have begun contributing online to my 2012 reelection campaign at http://www.bernie.org. There is no question but that the Republican Party, big money corporate interests and right-wing organizations will vigorously oppose me. Your financial support now and in the future is much appreciated.
...
A staffer in Sanders’ campaign office confirmed that the letter went out today."

It's only been a couple days and the resilient rats known as Democratic politicians are already trying to benefit from tragedy.

Meanwhile, none of the articles about Earth Empires have featured a link to the game yet :p

I'm A Demoncrat, And You Can Tell,
I'm Asking For Money To Save You From Hell,
If You Don't Give It To Me, I'll Yell And Yell.
Then Find A Union To Beat You To Hell.

1) He is an independent, not a democrat.
2) The tea-party beat him to it.

The fact that we get no links, and in one case a screen shot from the wrong game is used, is definitely unfortunate.

I especially enjoyed Paul "everyone who doesn't agree with me is a hack or moron or worse" Krugman of all people blasting the right for a lack of civility yesterday on the NYT.

I had a better +/- record for seats in the last election than the whole of the Democratic party (+0)

In all seriousness, though, it's horrible.
