Deep analytical thought? Not our strong suit. Some better than others.

and someone posted a link to Glen Beck--who is to reveal something sinister about President Obama and his involvement in a huge conspiracy regarding the Boston bombing.

It's hard to believe anyone puts any credibility in anything Beck says. I can hardly wait to hear it.

If one didn't know better one would be forgiven for believe Beck was satire like the Onion or Colbert. Too bad he really isn't and people actually believe his spew.

1. The prevalence of cameras in public places is...bad!
2. The police did not do their jobs in finding and stopping the bombers during the Marathon.
3. The jack-booted police thugs over-reacted in catching the bombers.
4. By telling us they have withheld reading the Miranda rights, they are planning something sinister.
5. Ergo: police state!

Pretty soon: "Well, yeah, they finally read him his Miranda rights but...but...how do we KNOW when he said, 'I understand' that's what he really meant?

The owner of that house who was finally allowed to go outside and called the police.

The suspect was 5 blocks away from the shooting, they closed a whole city and couldn't find him.
