yeah, that was sad, eh?

Or it could have been a simple as a phoned bomb threat .
That’s the problem . Who would not err on the side of caution .It happens every day with abandoned laundry packages that are blown up by SWAT teams

Somehow, even I don’t think Santorum stoops that low. Dirty diapers. Dirty diapers.
While on that subject, I still have a tough time believing the folks of Louisiana are that goddamned stupid. If he wins, they (most of them) will get what they deserve. If I were New Orleans, I’d try and secede.
The “friendly” between England and France proceeded as scheduled. Cameron and Prince William in attendance, on the field, not behind a bulletproof screen. Well done, UK.
