Explosions at Boston Marathon

[Ed Anger]

I'm impressed by Fox affiliates & Fox news coverage of this. When they don't have time to spin anything they do a good job.

NBC does a good job too when they keep their politics out of it.

CNN is just a hot mess.

So, how does this go in practice? Does a SWAT team knock on your front door and ask, "Would you mind if we placed a sniper team on your garden shed roof for an hour or six?"

I don't think they'd ask that politely.  I guess you don't know much about Bostonians.

CNN is just a hot mess.

Erin Burnett, though.

#2 is really just a kid.  And his older brother involves him in this madness?  There aren't enough circles in hell for that one.

[Legbiter]

I've been thinking that all morning.

CNN sez he may be runnin'. Time for Buford T Justice to get into HOT PURSUIT.

Stop thinking with your vagina.

From the BBC:

Independent Moscow radio station Ekho Moskvy has a statement from Alvi Karimov, the leader of the Chechen Republic.

He told Interfax "the suspects in the Boston crimes have no relation to Chechnya". He says "according to preliminary information" the family moved "many years ago from Chechnya to another region of Russia".

"Then for a long time they lived in Kazakhstan, and from there moved to the US, where family members obtained residency," Mr Karimov said. "So the persons concerned did not live in Chechnya as adults, and if they became 'bad apples' then it's a question of who was educating them."
