Well ... my guilty pleasure is mocking you, Dave. So I guess you're absolving me of my guilt for pushing your buttons. Thank you. P.S. Wipe that fucking emoticon off your Twitter feed, or I'll do it for you. P.S.S. Sorry - I'm being a total bitch. It's the caffeine. Forgive me, Dave. You can use as many emoticons as you want. P.S.S.S. Seriously, the emoticon is trite and smarmy. Get rid of it.

So he's a thin-skinned grudge-holder? It's hard to call the news a shock. | |

Dave's parents watch Fox News Channel, so they're conservatives. (Or maybe his dad likes to gaze at all those Foxy blonde news babes?) Their son does not concur with their political views. Interesting. _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

I don't know. He seems to have some kind of standing arrangement where he's on call to appear every time someone shoots up a school or shopping mall. It's not an occasional thing - it's nearly EVERY FUCKING TIME one of these things happens. | |

| Hey, I just had an idea.
Sometimes Cullen's tweets reference the hashtag "#NotOneMore" - as in, not one more school shooting.
I'm happy to endorse the sentiment of "#NotOneMore" - as in, not one more media-whoring appearance by Dave Cullen on one of our incredibly vapid national "news" networks.
How about it, Dave? _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

- @CNNAshleigh Banfield has asked me back to continue discussing media's role in school shootings tomorrow, noon hour ET @CNN #muckedup
Like Cullen, Ashleigh Banfield is where she is now mainly because she was a minor-league reporter who happened to be in the right place at the right time when a big story broke: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - Quote :

Ashleigh. Yeah, I can see it. The 9/11 Truther types have posted numerous clips of her reporting on "secondary explosions": [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - Quote :
- After going to Islamabad to cover the fighting in Afghanistan in late September 2001, she was ridiculed by some in the news media for dying her hair a severe shade of brown, to blend better into the Arab world.
That was pretty smart, actually. Many Arab men act like animals (sorry, but it's true - their attitude toward women is medieval) and consider Western women - blonde women, especially - sluts. If you're a blonde Western woman in that kind of environment, it's better to blend in. Just ask Lara Logan: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Does Cullen dye his hair? - Quote :

I'm glad for Cullen - honestly, I am. Now he'll have something to talk about other than Columbine. The less time he spends promoting himself as the World's Premiere Expert on Mass Shootings, the better. Maybe his book about gay soldiers will deflect public attention from his book about straight shooters. _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

So I'm hilarious, but weird? I can live with that. [Eric] enjoyed quoting Nietzsche and Shakespeare, but missed the irony of his own nickname, Reb: so rebellious he'd named himself after the school mascot.Or was he trying to be ironic? Maybe he thought, "I loathe the fuckers in this suburban shithole, but I can still name myself after their mascot. It's my way of saying 'Fuck you, I'm the real rebel here.'" Or maybe he didn't. | |

If you have an Amazon account, you can read excerpts of the Kindle version. (You can read Kindle books on a standard PC.) This is how the book starts: Day One On the day of Columbine seventeen-year-old Dylan Bennet Klebold is wearing a black T-shirt with "Wrath" printed in red letters across the chest. The red matches the blood that will later gurgle out of his head to form a jagged halo when he lies dead on the floor of the high school library. Under Klebold's black trench coat is an Intratec Tec-DC9, semi-automatic pistol attached to his body with a shoulder strap. Around noon, Klebold will place the gun to his left temple and fire a 9mm bullet through his skull, exiting the right temple. Tucked away in his black cargo pants is a Stevens 12-gauge side-by-side double-barrel shotgun cut down to about twenty-three inches, which Klebold will have to reload after every two rounds. Klebold wears his beloved black baseball cap, with the Boston Red Sox logo, backawrds. His long, puffy brown hair flares out below the cap and one student thinks he looks like a clown. Klebold also has grown a goatee and mustache. On his left hand is a black, fingerless glove, while his left ring finger has a silver-colored ring with a black stone. The rest of Klebold's wardrobe consists of white socks, black boots and blue-green plaid boxer shorts. On his left boot is a red star medallion containing a hammer and sickle. Eric David Harris, eighteen, is wearing black cargo pants and a white T-shirt that reads "Natural Selection." Under his black trench coat is a Hi-Point 9mm carbine rifle on a strap. He also carries a Savage Springfield 12-gauge shotgun with the stock and barrel cut off. It is twenty-six inches long, and Harris can cycle and fire five rounds before having to reload. Later in the day Harris will wrap his teeth around the shotgun's single barrel and pull the trigger. Harris completes his outfit much like Klebold: fingerless black glove on his right hand, white socks, black combat boots and green plaid underwear. Harris and Klebold have hand signals, and one imagines them jotting down the gestures before the massacre with a mixture of excitement and exactitude; serious about the carnage, but giddy to kill. The signals include: Bombing -- wave fist Cops sighted -- wave hand Suicide -- point to head with gun Like children overloaded with candy, Harris and Klebold fill their cargo pants with C02 bomblets, but save space in their pockets and utility belts for shotgun shells, and 9mm cartridge magazines. A backpack and a duffel bag hold more bombs. ... Harris then turns to Kacey Ruegsegger. She is covering her ears with her hands when Harris sends a shotgun slug through her right shoulder. Her arm floats up in the air, and comes back down. She thinks it is shot off. "Oh," she says. "Stop your bitching," one of the gunmen tells her. Klebold shoots Patrick Ireland. Still, Ireland's head rises above a desk as he tries to administer first aid. He is hit a second time with shotgun pellets. His injuries are to the head, and right foot. He will not die. Harris walks to another table. He slaps the table top twice with his left hand and says, "Peek-a-boo." He bends down, and sees Cassie Bernall. She is a seventeen-year-old junior with blond hair who traded her fascination with witchcraft for religion. Holding the shotgun in his right hand, Harris kills her with pellets that pass through her right middle finger -- possibly because she is covering her face -- and into the right side of her head. The wound is smoking. After he shoots Bernall, the shotgun recoil throws the gun rearward into his face, breaking his nose and giving him a bloody milk mustache. "Oh man, I shot my nose," Harris says. "Why'd you do that?" Klebold replies. Harris makes his way to Bree Pasquale, who is sitting on the floor because there was not enough room under a nearby table. He stares her in the face and repeatedly asks if she wants to die. She repeatedly says no. Harris laughs. "Everyone's going to die," he says. Klebold tells Harris to shoot her. "No, we're gonna blow up the school anyway," Harris says, still pointing his shotgun at her. Aaron Cohn says he is laying face down on the floor, with Bree on top of him. Klebold says, "How about you big boy, you want to get shot today?" Cohn looks left and sees a shotgun barrel twelve inches from his face. "Why don't you get up?" Klebold says. Cohn doesn't move. Klebold walks on. Harris and Klebold are hooting, hollering, and laughing. Their joy floats through the room: "This is so much fun." | |

| Cullen and some guy named Mike Hutchisson have been going at it - something about whether or not gay people should laugh about homophobia.
Been a long time since anyone told me when I’m allowed to laugh—nuns!—so now I’m curious: Are you gay? @HutchissonMike
Ah, yes - he went to Catholic school. No doubt he got whacked with rulers all the time.
I still want to know whether you’re gay. @HutchissonMike
That, Dave, you will never know. If we choose to set you free when we have finished with you, and if you live to be ninety years old, still you will never learn whether the answer to that question is Yes or No. As long as you live it will be an unsolved riddle in your mind.
Oh, wait - you were talking to that Mike guy. Who gives a fuck who he fucks? _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

Yes, that was the reaction I had after I read your book. It was so horrendously awful that I began regressing to childhood. I sucked my thumb for weeks. _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

| And I LOVE @BobbySneakers? (Who wouldn’t.) @taylordobbsYeah, dogs are great. They're endlessly loving and loyal. If I were a dog, would I be devoting this much time and mental energy to mocking your tweets? Of course not. Dogs can't even type! Wow, u know ur corgis! We’re doing a 2-day test, to see if I can handle helping out occasionally, and/or dog ownership. @taylordobbsYou've never had a dog, Dave? Not even as a kid? Wow. _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

| So disappointed for Dragon. RT @Deadline BIG Father's Day fade for @JumpStMovies ($57M tops), #HTTYD2 ($49.5M tops), #TFIOS (down 69%).
So How to Train Your Dragon 2 didn't do as well as DreamWorks hoped.
Do you own DreamWorks stock, Dave? Do you know any of the people who worked on the movie? _________________ Why does anyone do anything?

| Thx. RT @iloveteaching2: "Columbine" I learned many new facts;
You learned many new facts? What facts? The fact that Eric Harris was a swaggering Lothario who boinked Brenda Parker? The fact that poor little Dylan was a dickless emo who shat his pants every time big bad Eric glanced in his direction? The fact that Dave Cullen is psychic? (He has to be - he describes the killers' thoughts in detail.)
Those aren't facts, my dear ... they're falsehoods.
it cleared up misinformation.
Yes. The world thought that Eric Harris was a dorky virgin, but we now know that he was a regular Casanova.
Surprisingly couldn't put it down...
So the book got stuck to your hands? How'd you get it off? | |

| Biggest dogsitting surprise: I need more human walks! They did wonders for my back, and everything else.
How often do you move around, Dave? Are you holed up in your house all the time?
I'll have you know that I walk all the time ... from the dining room to the bathroom, and then back to the dining room. But I do it constantly, since I'm sitting here guzzling liquids all day!
(Seriously - I can drink a bottle of Zephyrhills in about ten seconds.) | |

| The master speaks (in a Valley Girl accent, for some weird reason): [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Takeaways: 1. He wrote a bunch of shit, then threw it all away and started over. 2 He organized his book around ten characters: * the good cop * the bad cop * the angry dad * the Christian martyr who turned out not to be a martyr * the heroic teacher, Dave Sanders * the principal * the minister * the boy in the window, Patrick Ireland * Eric * Dylan 3. Characters are more important than plot. When we talk about the characters of Columbine, we can come up with all sorts of mushy motivations and inner monologues that may or may not be supported by the actual evidence, whereas when we talk about the plot, we generally must confine ourselves to the sequence of events that actually occurred. 4. The ceiling of Dave Cullen's apartment is utterly fascinating. (He keeps looking up at it.) | |
