The tragic shooting

Memetic prophylactic warning

in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend, which left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a coma and six others dead, has been universally condemned both by Democrats and Republicans, as you would expect in any civilized society where violence and assassination with semi-automatic weaponry are considered inappropriate responses to political differences. But while even Sarah Palin -- a forceful opponent of Giffords who once published an infographic targeting Giffords through gun sights -- was publicly calling for "peace and justice," at least one member of the retail comics community had a different message: "1 down, 534 to go."

Ok, the next time you're here in Boston, can I please take you out to Arlington so you can walk into the place, say, "Hi, I'm Charles Stross, and I think your cofounder is a shithead." and then we can go have frozen custard?

(there's an *amazing* frozen custard place about a block from there. I will buy you any flavour you'd like.)

Does he do retail? I thought he was order-only. Now I can feel smugger about not patronizing him, seeing as he's in our neckathewoods.

hence I said, 'the place'. it's an office just up by the Arlington town hall.
