What about whatzisbutt (I'll look up the guy in a minute) who was inaugurated in the rain and then died of pneumonia two weeks later or whatever the hell it was? Does that kinda count?

No, he just spent a year dead. For tax purposes.

Don't make bastards the escaped goat for this tragedy.

And Broasted Chicken restaurants will get shut down: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broasting



And is if that wasn't enough...



COINCIDENCE?!?!?!? I think NOT!!!!

IIRC, after Columbine there were schools that banned BLACK trench coats. I can only guess at the discussions that occurred at principal's offices "No, this is NAVY BLUE!! What the hell is wrong...

Betcha the guy is gonna get some of those nifty prostheses like Oscar Pistorius (sp?) has. So ya see, he's being BOUGHT OFF! THE CONSPIRACY CONTINUES!

Ya think? You know, every time I wonder how I somehow outkicked my coverage and managed to land my awesome wife, I read a thread like this one and realize that the posters on it are representative...

"Terrorist act" is gonna get more pub than "industrial accident", even if the locations are reversed (OK, the terrorism would likely have been in DFW rather than smalltown TX, but you get the idea)....

After 80 posts I was gonna ask "so, any WOMEN posting on this thread, or is it all men TALKING about women with their Masterful Knowledge?" Then Simma finally showed up (hope you're doing OK,...

Dude, the gummint has been doing this since the "moon landing", at least!

:rolleyes:

Is West where the Czech stop is?!?!? I was told about that before driving to Austin, didn't have time to try them.

It's a macabre twist that the dead/injured from this and the Boston bombings are...

i couldn't tell they didn't match! The light was dim!!! it's not my fault!!!!!

Yes, this. We can be fortunate that almost all the people who contemplate/attempt these type of acts aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

Seriously, who spends that much time planning the...

So apparently the best way to commit a terrorist act is to buy/build a great big fertilizer plant or similar potentially hazardous industrial facility, don't implement any safety measures, lie to...

Crap, he beat me to it.

OTOH, I think MEH and Oldster have no love still for the Rooskies, so maybe we can blame this one on Russian Heavy-Handedness in Chechnya and we could intertwine the RW...

HA! Oh no, NIXON didn't raise a stink, but his surrogates damn sure DID! Unfortunately for Nixon, there were not only rumors of vote fraud in Chicago (vote early and often!) but also downstate,...

Only problem is that the various "Voter ID" laws don't address the issue of "registered voters who shouldn't be". Thye only verify that "person voting" is "person registered".
