On The Road (Again?)

Mr. Irresponsible's been feeling sort of logy lately. What's an advice columnist to do when the big story in the news is one old white guy shooting another old white guy in the face and (we subsequently find out) the heart? How am I supposed to mill advice-giving gold from that? What am I supposed to say: "Hey, don't do that"? Advice columnists live in a shadowy world of nuance and interpretation, and there's no room here for either. So I'm off on a therapeutic fact-finding tour to America's heartland, and will be back next week with fresh ambiguities for your delectation. Tune in then, won't you?  And remember to  keep your shotgun pointed at the ground, for God's sake.
