Orlando Holding Its Breath
NPR has a piece that covers the atmosphere in Mouse Town: Orlando’s Tourism Industry Hopes To Overcome A Nightmarish Week
This is the beginning of ‘the season’ when the majority of the tourist businesses make their big money and their workers can pay off their credit cards. The only thing left is for PETA to put out a video showing what they claim are SeaWorld employees throwing live kittens and puppies into the shark tank.
There are reports that the Westboro Baptist Church is going to picket the funerals. Now that would be a real shame … if they fell into the shark tank…

The Disease Is Spreading
Jo Cox MP dead after shooting attack:
An MP has died after she was shot and stabbed in a “horrific” assault in her constituency, police have said.
Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested nearby.
One eyewitness told the BBC they heard her attacker shout “put Britain first” at least twice beforehand.
This guy shot her three times and then stabbed her as she was on the ground. Other witnesses did not hear the “put Britain first”. Britain is having a referendum on leaving the EU [Brexit] on the 23rd, and Ms Cox has been campaigning to stay in the EU, but the voters will be making decision, not members of Parliament.
The shooter had a white baseball cap and in one photo was wear a camouflage jacket, looking more like he was from Alabama than Yorkshire.
The last time an MP was killed was in 1990.
