since today is 4/15, i suspect the folks at http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer

4/15/2013 5:03:38 PM

it was obviously the Redcoats

4/15/2013 5:10:45 PM

you say that like its a joke, but they did just lose their beloved margaret thatcher.

4/15/2013 5:11:45 PM

Reading they shut down cell service in the area. I'm assuming maybe the bombs they found intact were rigged for remote detonation by cell?

4/15/2013 5:13:21 PM

ESPN is talking to some guy by cell phone, so if they shut off cell phone service they did a shitty job of it

"NBC Sports Network ?@NBCSN 22m Reports of Marathon Runners that crossed finish line and continued to run to Mass General Hospital to give blood to victims #PrayforBoston"

4/15/2013 5:20:47 PM

...That's stupid. Not only are you not supposed to have exerted yourself by running a GD marathon right before you give blood, it has to go through a battery of tests before it gets OKed to be used in transfusions.

4/15/2013 5:23:05 PM

New evidence points to a team of 4: An Iranian, a North Korean, a Venezuelan, and a Canadian.

In unrelated reports, Bush has been overheard talking about "The 3rd Gulf War" and "recruiting a personal posse--including himself--to go kill'em all."

Authorities ID suspect as Saudi national in marathon bombings, under guard at Boston hospital

4/15/2013 5:23:37 PM

No media outlet has reported 12 people dead or anything about a Saudi national except the NY Post, which constantly makes up and sensationalizes news.

Not saying they won't turn out to be right, but they are basically a tabloid.

I moved away last August. But I still have so many friends there who always try to stay close to the finish line.

My ex was less than a block away.

"now all spectators will have to go through damn security just to go watch a marathon"

The marathon is run on main roads in front of a lot of people's homes/apartments. Most people just sit on their porch or balcony drinking beer all day.

Every building in that part of town has a rood garden or patio. I'm surprised there aren't more folks up there.

I'm not quick to buy this. After the OKC bombing all the news channels were reporting an "Arab suspect" but then it was the whitest dude ever.

4/15/2013 5:29:10 PM

So is the National Enquirer, but they called it on John Edwards when everybody said it was bullshit about the mistress and bastard.

Just to clarify, this was a joke. Hence the . Someone posted it on twitter

4/15/2013 5:31:41 PM

why are they not calling this terrorism? why does terrorism only apply to things do by radical muslims and not any kind of terrorism? this was clearly terrorism, it doesn't matter by who or in support of what cause, its terrorism.

4/15/2013 5:31:50 PM

the government is calling this a terrorist act

4/15/2013 5:32:18 PM

someone tell CBS, the cause of my post was them saying that they were refusing to call it a terrorist attack

4/15/2013 5:33:17 PM

information without a source = trash

4/15/2013 5:37:14 PM

aside from CBS, who else is not calling it terrorism? I'm flipping channels and everybody is calling it terrorism

Also hearing news on this

Boston PD per CNN just reported they confirmed JFK Library incident was a fire, not related.

4/15/2013 5:37:36 PM

Tufts Medical Twitter posted as of 5 minutes ago that SWAT had cleared the ER and everything is fine. Looks like they may have just been exercising caution, or acting on a tip.

4/15/2013 5:45:39 PM

Great, now the liberals are going to try to take our backpack bombs.

4/15/2013 5:56:33 PM

Many of those bystanders on the sidewalk are going to have TBI's and neurological problems for years to come

4/15/2013 5:58:53 PM

My cousin works at Mass General, I don't know if he was on for today but since I haven't heard from him I am doing my best to assume that he rushed to the hospital to help or was already there.

4/15/2013 5:58:55 PM

so, have the conspiracy theorists started talking about this being an inside job yet?

4/15/2013 5:59:19 PM

imagine having to sweep and clear a street full of backpacks and bags that people left behind as they fled

4/15/2013 6:02:05 PM

OMFG

4/15/2013 6:06:26 PM

I guess its just the FBI who is not calling it terrorism, because they takeover jurisdiction as soon as they make that determination

4/15/2013 6:08:15 PM

they're calling it terrorism now.

4/15/2013 6:10:30 PM

they've been calling it terrorism

4/15/2013 6:13:55 PM

not a very good job by Obama on that statement, not very comforting or serious

4/15/2013 6:13:59 PM

I guess Obama should have just sat there and read books to elementary school kids.

4/15/2013 6:15:05 PM

No they arent

4/15/2013 6:15:39 PM

Obama said it was a good afternoon that's all you need to know

4/15/2013 6:16:26 PM

Out of curiosity, what could Obama have done to convey more seriousness during his address?

Roll out in front of the audience with a wife beater on, and a cigarette in his mouth? Or perhaps wearing a wrinkled shirt with sweaty pit stains?

4/15/2013 6:16:56 PM

Feds aren't, but everyone that knows what is going on has been for hours now.
