This is why I hate to fly anymore. Airports are not secure.

I will take a beat down instead of going to functions with big crowds.

I guarantee this is just the beginning of a new wave of events.

Marathon oil in Houston has activated security. All locations are on alert and extra security is in place.

Fox News has just quoted a trauma surgeon at a local hospital has saying that they have received the bodies of 10 people who suffered decapitations. This is a deliberate terrorist attacks. People who were nearby are reporting that they have found pieces of shrapnel in their clothing and pockets.

Me thinks Obama is going to have a hard time denying this one is an act of terrorism.

I had $5.00 on "less than two hours." Unfortunately the odds were 1:25, so I only win twenty cents. :grumble

Just spoke to a friend from Boston who lives here in Texas now but is back in RI on business. He said his family is fine, but he just got off the phone with a former coworker who lives 4 blocks off the marathon route. She says that police on her block are refusing to allow anyone to leave their houses.

Injured up to 100.

Wait, I'm having Deja Vu reading that report. Did someone else say something similar before, like those exact words?

Hear the police radio traffic here. Getting some info before the media gets it out.

I posted this on Facebook, and a friend of mine in the Bay Area said he has seen the same thing from an ABC report.

So they have a Saudi national in custody but "right wing extremists could be responsible" They try this line every time and every time it is incorrect. They ought to start losing money everytime they accuse someone before they have the facts. Like a curse jar only higher stakes.
