I was at dinner by myself, browsing Twitter and just running across Salon blaming the right wing ( https://twitter.com/salon/status/665344751928008704 https://twitter.com/salon/status/665344751928008704 ) when the guy sitting at the next table blamed a conspiracy funded by the Koch Brothers to keep us afraid.
... I prefer these conspiracy nuts to the pundits; they have a better excuse. But that itself is quite sad.

Ultimately, the people who carried out the attack looked at what ISIS has to offer and said, "I'll take that."
