  • upon hours of inane chatter on the major "news" networks. Oddly, they all had the same photographs, and none of them knew anything, and yet they kept on gabbing away as if they wre somehow in the "know' of things.

    After the capture of Dzhokar Tsarnaev. policemen, FBI agrntesnts and their ilk stood around, relaxed, lauging, many looking over-stuffed. and probably glad to get in some overtime. I'm glad none of them had to run. Many of them are un-fit. When I was a lad, policemen had reigorous physical training. Not so today. The firemen still keep physically fit in my little patch of the world.

    The media circus is alive and well. Talking heads asking the same questions over and over because they had nothing else to say. One "analyist" trying to figure out the mindset of DzhoKar Tsarnaev from his Twitter messages. Oh, goodie. Dr. Phil is now transformed into a blond Know-nothing news reader.

    Am I sad that this happeed? Yes.

    Am I glad Dzhokar Tsarnaev is caught? Yes.

    Am I glad there was even more death and distruction? Yes.

    Am I proud of the way this was handled? More discouraged than anything. It ran like a re-make of S.W.A.T, now directed by Quenton Tarantino.. With all the "big Names" taking credit as if they had put their lives on the lines.

    Will we, as a people, learn anything from the Marathon bombings? Don't count on it.If there are miracles, then it would truly be a miracle if America understood anything about the 'why' of this event.

    Meanwhile, what have we learned from the ferlitizer plant explosion in Texas. What? You haven't heard about that?

    I'm having a cynical Saturday.

    Not to worry. Billy Graham says god will destroy the entire universe, then rebuild it. I hope god stands outside the universe, maybe in a protective mancave, so he won't inadvertenly destroy himself in the process of destroyig the entire universe.
