Annals of Poor Taste

In Minnesota, a woman who had been grief-stricken over the death of her son from a heroin overdose tried to burn down her house, kill her husband, and kill herself, in especially gruesome fashion.

The diagnosis from Power Line, a conservative blog?  It's because she's a Democrat.  The money quote:

This sad anecdote from my neighborhood illustrates a commonplace of sociology: scratch a conservative and you will almost always find a happy person; scratch a liberal and you are likely to encounter a seething cauldron of disappointment and rage.

Ugh.  How grotesque.
