Congrats LL! :grin: thanks for your post today. I was wondering why Buddhists and Hindus weren’t part of yesterday’s all faiths and non faiths. But PBO didn’t organize it.
Call me selfish, but I’m sick of being stuck inside all day. Glad this thing is almost over. Hope the murdering bastard is taken alive, because that would be best for the country and intel, but if he’s dead, I’ll be okay with that, too.
America is focused on this story, as is the world, and it is unfortunate that most of them are learning about it from buffoons like Wolfie, King, and all the news media. You know the old guiding rule “If you don’t have something good to say, don’t say anything.” For the news it should read “If you aren’t 100% sure you have your facts straight, STFU>”
I’m in California, and during the incomprehensible 2011 Japan earthquake/tsunami, CNN International kicked in at 8:00 or 9:00 pm local time.
They were actually calm and informative, such a contrast to their U.S. counterpart.
CNN didn’t do that during their coverage of the horrific Hurricane Katrina. As I recall, CNN’s U.S. “B” was on after 8:00 pm local time, pretty much airing coverage from earlier in the day (i.e., no “breaking” news). The networks were worse, their coverage ended entirely at 8:00 pm Pacific.
I know what you’re saying, Arapaho…. unfortunately, we are getting the CNN live US feed for this prime time “show”, so the calm international voices are missing!!
I went over to CNN for a few minutes all they can do is posture about al queda pretty pathetic; supposing this or that. I think Pelley is doing a better job.
So is Brian Williams on NBC not MSNBC. He is using a lot of restraint and is real careful to check and double check things before he says something. He is sticking to just the facts.
I’m pointing (rather poorly) to Bob’s tweet above my comment and agreeing with it by saying “that”. oh it’s what all the kids do! Someone says something and people reply at it and say “that” or “this” as a way of showing their support or agreement. :-)
I screamed the same thing at my TV, who the hell is Mathews “I want to know now” schmuck. they have better things to do than talk to newstainers/entertainment people.
Oh, Chips, I arrived “just in time” to see those Wolf tweets. Laughed way out loud!
Here’s a good article about the fiasco that is CNN (and others) - hope it hasn’t been posted already:
Describing a Suspect: A Few Tips for Mr. King
Why his CNN report about a “dark-skinned male” was not only wrong, given current events, but also useless.
(The Root) — The federal authorities and Boston police put out the word early after the bombings at Monday’s Boston Marathon: Bring us your implausible, your unlikely, your huddled hunches yearning to be heard. Advance and be recognized.
Hey, JO’B. Talked to Yardarm. Alive, well, in the Dells. Due back tomorrow night or Sunday morning, at which time, I’ll commence to kicking his azz for failing to notify us.
NBC cut to a local cable channel, only to have the reporter (live) go “we don’t know sh**” :lol: Oops! Somehow, I don’t think the FCC is going to penalize them for that one.
This may be a repost. Gracious loving people. I can’t even imagine….
Statement to the Family of Martin Richard from the Parents of Trayvon Martin
Our hearts are broken over the tragedy in Boston yesterday. Our family sends our sincerest condolences to all of those who have been affected by this terrible situation. We especially would like to send a message to the family of eight year old, Martin Richard. We have come to understand that the peace sign that Martin is holding in a photo being circulated throughout the media, was created in response to a lesson by his teacher about the death of our son. From our family to yours’, we are praying for you, thinking about you and will remember your son for the rest of our lives.
-Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, parents of Trayvon Martin
For those who are frustrated with CABLE….CBS and NBC not CABLE are doing a really great job reporting on this story tonight. You might want to consider switching over to the REAL news stations.
Listening to the police scanner—-link posted in previous thread——heard “negative movement” a bunch of times. Does not necessarily mean he’s dead, I guess.
I have not had TV on all day. Today is my one day to relax and I wanted to get my news only from here and twitter. It has been much better on the blood pressure.
LL, thanks for those beautiful prayers. That is what we need in such a time as this. Now off to watch some movies.

Boston Police using great restraint and techincality to properly approach the suspect.. making sure they can take him alive if possible
Fire on the boat——and neighbor saying that boat owner is going to be really sad about his boat, that it was his baby—-and it’s all shot up. I can’t believe suspect is alive.
Suspect covered in blood—-trying to say it was from his wounds from last night—-really pushing this because everyone wanted him taken alive——hmmmmmm——maybe—-but boat is said to be riddled with bullet holes.
I thought I could hate no one as much as I hate Cheney, until he had his spawn Liz do his dirty work. I despise her and I know when her “Daddy” leaves this world, finally, she will fade into the background forever. I am looking forward to that day.
Brian Williams is incredulous about the need for a negotiator at this point—-as am I——after all the reports of fire on board, body covered in blood, boat shot up, no movement etc.
agreed. especially since it seems the professionals got the job done without the advice of brian williams, so i’ll continue to trust the law enforcement and investigators of my country. i say this as someone who has actually suffered physical assault from a “bad apple” police officer years ago, but i don’t let those spoil the bunch. overall, they are tremendous people.
Hey LL: it is all your fault. Having my second Manhattan tonight, straight up, chilled martini glass, Kentucky bourbon, red stemmed cherry nestled in the bottom of the martini glass … yum! And watching the events unfold on WCVB out of Boston, and on CBS on the TV, and here on TOD.
“what is this”?!? it’s called an extremely volatile and tense investigation, that’s incredibly challenging for investigators and they’re doing an amazing job tracking down a very subversive enemy and saving other people’s lives along the way. bravo f.b.i. and all the other law enforcement! heroes!
4morefor44, Great comment! I would add that the “incredibly challenging job” that these hardworking law enforcement people are faced with is being hindered by the obsession of the media, and a great many of us in the public, who want instant gratification. I wish the media would STFU and let the law enforcement people do their job.
This is freaking hilarious. This writer lives in Boston. Goes out with friends to get wasted because it’s been a hell of a week. Girl calls him for a one-night stand. He says “sure” They do the headboard banging thing and he wakes up to Boston being on lock down. A one-night stand becomes an all day awkward event. What to do? :lol:
If @lenadunham wrote the story of the last 24 hours in Boston, it might look a bit like this @esquiremag piece: http://t.co/QVjyn0J3SU

Yay, a new post!
Congrats, and no Wolf can’t keep up.
Probably can’t keep it up. Bye
Congrats LL! :grin: thanks for your post today. I was wondering why Buddhists and Hindus weren’t part of yesterday’s all faiths and non faiths. But PBO didn’t organize it.
Because you have to laugh:
Thanks for that, LL :)
Hahahahahahahaha.
Congrats LL.
Thanks Chips for the New Wolfy Post ;)
hope they get this guy ALIVE
Me too.
me too, I really want to know why why why.
Totally agree. Praying for that.
Call me selfish, but I’m sick of being stuck inside all day. Glad this thing is almost over. Hope the murdering bastard is taken alive, because that would be best for the country and intel, but if he’s dead, I’ll be okay with that, too.
I was thinking about you today AJ. It’s almost over.
{{{{Donna}}}} Thank you :)
And Wolf is paid Millions a YEAR, for what exactly? No Earthling knows.
Don’t forget John King.
I heard him say this live, and almost spewed my tea all over the couch!

It’s such a circus, Japa…. I had to turn the TV off. Sadly, pretty much all we get in Germany is CNN International and BBC World.

Congrats, LL. The range of claims being made span …. he’s dead … he’s alive … cover of boat has been lifted … guy is sitting up … boat is on fire …….
Ni More Hurting People
…..Peace……

I went over to CNN for a few minutes all they can do is posture about al queda pretty pathetic; supposing this or that. I think Pelley is doing a better job.
Yes, he’s practicing a lot of restraint.
Yes, Pelley and his crew are being very careful. Reporting only what they KNOW, not what may be.
So is Brian Williams on NBC not MSNBC. He is using a lot of restraint and is real careful to check and double check things before he says something. He is sticking to just the facts.
I am watching CBS too
Well, I just hope they take him alive, and that no one else gets hurt. Will find out in the morning… good night all!
nite!
G’Night.

Oh. I’m not around young people often. ;) Thanks!
I screamed the same thing at my TV, who the hell is Mathews “I want to know now” schmuck. they have better things to do than talk to newstainers/entertainment people.
ya’ll are cracking me up, thank YOU :)

I kinda think he’s dead, or unconscious.. yes I am speculating, what the heck.
What the heck, indeed, sherijr….you still are more intelligent than 95% of the reporting out there today.
aww thank you AJ ;)
I think he jumped into the Mystic River and will pop up when Jason Bourne does! ;)

You guys/gals are absolutely hilarious! CNN has definitely became a laughing stock!
LMAO!
Somebody should have said, they have Ghandi trapped.
Good old Wolfe, and he covered the Pentagon? Good grief!
Have we teetered over into gallows humor? I think we have.
Nearly full blown.
still teetering, but probably not for long…
We deserve some comedic release.
No where close. ;)

Wbz is the boston liberal channel.

Who in the hell cares, I am so amazed at at how and why Kim Kardashian is so famous. That Chris guy should thank his lucky stars that he is “FREE”.

LL, thanks for those beautiful prayers. That is what we need in such a time as this. Now off to watch some movies.
I will fire up BBC World and AJE later. Maybe CBS. But MSNBC and CNN? Failures.

Oh, good grief. This is crazy…… It’s feeling like yesterday again.
Szechuan? Where the only remaining wild pandas live. :(
That province endured a 7.9 magnitude (Wenchuan) earthquake on May 12, 2008, which killed 68,000 people (according to Wikipedia).
It looks like the epicenter is in the heart of panda country, so hopefully human casualties will be minimized, but definitely not good news for China.
Jeez, can Mother Nature ease off for at least a little while?
Not the Onion, not SNL, …. you just can’t make this stuff up …
Boat on the River ( Boston Edition)
He left on a boat just to follow a dream
He had to find
You can’t hold a man when he follows a dream
That’s on his mind
I see a boat on the River
It’s sailing away
down to the ocean
where to, I can’t say

Suspect covered in blood—-trying to say it was from his wounds from last night—-really pushing this because everyone wanted him taken alive——hmmmmmm——maybe—-but boat is said to be riddled with bullet holes.
CAN’T WAIT for the vermin, imbecile, fecal smear liz (cheney spawn) to explain how this is all PBO’s fault.
I thought I could hate no one as much as I hate Cheney, until he had his spawn Liz do his dirty work. I despise her and I know when her “Daddy” leaves this world, finally, she will fade into the background forever. I am looking forward to that day.
Police calling out to boat for person to come out with hands up.
lmao.
i think the other one i saw was more accurate…”…and fox searching for way to blame obama.”
Wow! That gunfire was intense!
others claim he saw blood & person, got scared, stopped and called cops. hard to know what to believe
Fox News says the suspect is the actress Zoey Deschanel. Jeeezuuusss…..
no way. coh for crying in the beer that’s hilarious.
Brian Williams is incredulous about the need for a negotiator at this point—-as am I——after all the reports of fire on board, body covered in blood, boat shot up, no movement etc.
brian and you have really no idea what’s happening on the scene, so probably best off trusting the experts. just sayin…
Just sharin’ my thoughts. OK?
as am i, ok?
Time to let go. Geez.
agreed. especially since it seems the professionals got the job done without the advice of brian williams, so i’ll continue to trust the law enforcement and investigators of my country. i say this as someone who has actually suffered physical assault from a “bad apple” police officer years ago, but i don’t let those spoil the bunch. overall, they are tremendous people.

Piers Morgan is an idiot.
bahahaa! you’re fierce!
Can we ship Piers Morgan back to England? I doubt if they would want him.
Another sign of CNN down fall hiring that clown to replace Larry King.
Imagine if those were your sons. Imagine if your loved one was maimed or loss his/her life at the Boston Marathon.
A damn boat………Really?
Bahahahahahahahahaha.
GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!
Hey LL: it is all your fault. Having my second Manhattan tonight, straight up, chilled martini glass, Kentucky bourbon, red stemmed cherry nestled in the bottom of the martini glass … yum! And watching the events unfold on WCVB out of Boston, and on CBS on the TV, and here on TOD.
I cannot wait to get home and make a cocktail.
What is this now? We were told there were no other suspects.
Just wait five minutes. The story will change.
“what is this”?!? it’s called an extremely volatile and tense investigation, that’s incredibly challenging for investigators and they’re doing an amazing job tracking down a very subversive enemy and saving other people’s lives along the way. bravo f.b.i. and all the other law enforcement! heroes!
