Look at me, dammit

The amusing folks at The Corner had surprisingly little (aka "none") to say yesterday about the right wing extremist's murder of a security guard at the Holocaust Museum yesterday, other than one angry post about why this is different then the "International Jihadist Threat [aka "brown people]," Janet Neapolitano's a dumb fascist and these guys aren't even "right wing." Then there's this:

'Weekly Standard may have been shooter target' [Mark Hemingway]

Ben Smith at Politico:

FBI agents visited the offices of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine yesterday after a shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and told employees they'd found the magazine's address

A senior Standard staffer confirmed the visit but declined to discuss it in detail. An FBI spokeswoman, Katherine Schweit , also declined to comment on the investigation.

Two other sources said two FBI agents arrived shortly after 5:00 p.m. Thursday at the 17th Street offices of the magazine. They told staffers that they had found the address of the magazine on a piece of paper associated with the shooter, James von Brunn, and asked whether the Standard had received any threats.

I was visting a friend at TWS's office a few hours before the shootings yesterday. Wow.

Is it wrong to speculate the guy was planning to drop off samples of his writing in hopes of getting a good gig?

It would be wrong not to.
