• Margaret Poplawski accelerates her blameworthiness


• three generations of Poplawski dysfunction


• at least one relative of Richard Poplawski is human


• a gun nut attracts gun nuttiness


• Richard Poplawski does not deserve to live, but we should not kill him (although reasonable minds may disagree)


• Margaret Poplawski: still classy


• Richard Poplawski sparks an unlikely meeting of the minds
