  • Be careful about the urge to impulse-click online donation links! Scammers ARE already hard at work. Take the time to double check!
  • Thanks to generosity of volunteer blood donors there is currently enough blood on the shelves to meet demand.
  • CNN: “Possibly done by right-wing extremists” [IOW, “we’re hoping it was right-wingers and not one of ours.”]
  • If, after a terror attack on Americans, your 1st instinct is to attack other Americans, you have a SERIOUS problem.
  • Fellow partisans, there is a time and a place. Today ain’t it.
  • Scumbag (n.) – a person who tries to spin an unfolding human tragedy w/ many unknown facts into an advantage for his or her political views.
  • Dear bomber: far better men than you are saving lives you tried to take. We’ll honor and pray for your victims. You’ll die alone in a cell.
  • Notice all these First Responders, Firefighters, Police running TOWARD the bomb areas? Heroes.

2013_04 15 Kids' response to Boston

A reminder to Christians on the right on days like this: pray not just for Boston, but for the President & his team too. 1 Tim. 2:1-4

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”

2013_04 15 MIT honors Marathon victims

Above: The Green Building at MIT on April 15, 2013, following the Boston Marathon bombing. The Cecil and Ida Green Building, also called the Green Building or Building 54, is an academic and research building at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. It was designed by noted architect I. M. Pei, who received his bachelor’s degree from MIT in 1940. Principal donor Cecil Howard Green received a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from MIT and was a co-founder of Texas Instruments.

When I googled for info about the Green Building, I saw this.

“We all know the students at MIT love a good hack, but what’s better than playing a game while doing it? Last night, a team took over the side of MIT’s Green Building and turned it into a giant, playable, multi-color Tetris game.”

Playing Tetris on a BUILDING!

LOL Too fun!!

    Saw this in today’s twitter feed:

    Sergeant Major ‏@Pugs47 – Explosion looks military grade to me. C-4 or Semtex, like that. Coordinated Detonations 10 secs apart. These guys knew what they were doing

    Kurt Schlichter ‏@KurtSchlichter – I had an IED expert tell me the same.
