Mail Bag The Daily Banter

The Daily Banter Mail Bag! The Supreme Court’s Campaign Finance Decision, the Gun Control Debate and the Inevitable #CancelBanter Hashtag.

This week’s questions. Answers here.

1. This is probably a rhetorical question but do you think anything can be done at this point about billionaires and wealthy interests buying elections? The Supreme Court just seems to keep piling up decisions that ensure American politics are just another commodity. I’m not sure there’s any hope for us now.

2. How do you write about shootings like the one at Fort Hood? When it’s happened so often, how do you find a new way to approach it and to voice the anger you might feel about it?

3. This is just to let you know that I’m starting the hashtag #CancelBanter. I figure your site should be gone by next Tuesday.
