How, you ask?
Because they were on welfare.

Thanks to Tami J for the bottom graphic!
As I’ve said for years, you can’t write this shite.
You’ve heard all the jokes: “When pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have pressure cookers.”
So, in a serious note, Williams-Sonoma buys into this meme.
From Reason.com:
Following the Boston Marathon bombing last Monday in which pressure cookers were used for the explosion, the cookware giant has decided to temporarily stop selling the items in their Massachusetts stores.
“It’s a temporary thing out of respect,” said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall.
He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.
Pressure cookers will still be available on the Williams-Sonoma website.
Oh my God.
We are a nation that is SO incredibly ripe for takeover.

Eh, wot?
Sometimes you just have to think that Leftists are filled with innocent April 1st deception and overall jollity.
Except that Leftists wouldn’t recognize general humor if it walked up and put a nailgun into their heads.
Thomas Friedman, columnist for the New York Times, wrote this past Sunday:
UNTIL we fully understand what turned two brothers who allegedly perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombings into murderers, it is hard to make any policy recommendation other than this: We need to redouble our efforts to make America stronger and healthier so it remains a vibrant counterexample to whatever bigoted ideology may have gripped these young men.
With so many societies around the world being torn apart, especially in the Middle East, it is vital that America survives and flourishes as a beacon of pluralism.
Rebuilding our strength has to start with healing our economy.
So what to do? We need a more “radical center” — one much more willing to suggest radically new ideas to raise revenues, not the “split-the-difference-between-the-same-old-options center.” And the best place to start is with a carbon tax.
So, when you kill people in Boston, when you kill cops who respond to the threat, the logical response to this is a tax.
All of those who think this is insane, please raise your hands.

Likely you never saw this video splayed across the national television screens, except once on NBC.
Boston Bruins vs the Buffalo Sabres, directly after the Boston Marathon bombing:
And when was the last time you actually heard our national anthem sung, at any sports event, with such vigor that the singer was drowned out?
God bless America; the last and best hope of the entire planet.
Because when America dies, freedom dies.
