… wtf. Are we as a society so freaked out and scared that we react to everything in a negative manner? Didn’t someone ask any of the commuters near the “bombs” if they were there yesterday… or the day before… or the day before that?

“Turner Broadcasting is expected to issue an apology for causing today’s series of bomb scares throughout Boston. A statement emailed to the Globe from Turner Broadcasting said: “The ‘packages’ in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards. We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger.”

I’d be embarrassed if I were from Boston right now. The mayor should probably also issue an apology for running his mouth off before knowing what the situation really was.

I just read V’s take on dating at ViolentAcres, I never really considered how women think about dating, but I find it fairly interesting to read a womans point of view on it.  Kinda scary being a man all said and done… men are largely oblivious to most of the mechanizations of woman kind… they’re scary.  I suppose a man feels somewhat like women, but we’re not nearly so manipulative about getting them.

If you have trouble understanding women, take a gander, its a real interesting read.

I just read the transcript of the GWB interview on 60 minutes, and honestly a lot of people are ragging him out about what he had to say, and I do take exception to several points he brings up, but all in all, it is probably the most intelligence I’ve ever heard him utilize during an interview or speech.  I may not agree with him on several points, but at least this time he doesn’t sound like a dumb ass red neck with no cares or thoughts about our soldiers dying over there.  Check it out, it’s an interesting read.
