Notice how after every tragic event in our country, someone on TV says that we've got to have a "conversation"? Wrong. Everybody has to shut up.

The supposition is that the conversation will lead to a "healing." Listen to the conversations on talk radio. Do you feel that anyone is being healed?

Conversation: While President Barack Obama is in China to receive the Marxist Medal of Honor, his attorney general decided to bring Khalid Sheik Mohammed before Judge Judy.

Conversation: KSM and the other Gitmo alumni should be put on an open-air float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hey, that's not bad. I feel healed already.
