Where's That Finger Been, Reverend?
VTech: Oh, Lord, let's not point fingers.

Truth be told, we've been a bit glued to the screens throughout the Virginia Tech tragedy. (Hands down, best coverage has been on the college level, at the Collegiate and Planet Blacksburg.)
We've been waiting for the finger-pointing, and it finally came. Queerty blogged about Opus Gay's piece on the Fred Phelps crew who are purportedly planning to protest at the services of the victims of Monday's massacre. How positively macabre. Disgusting.
We are very proud of the queer blogosphere for demonstrating such charitable restraint in not directing the obvious "Virginia is in your back yard," finger-wag toward certain other popular Virginia-based Blamey McBlamersons.
