1. Hmm...
Massachusetts (home of John Kerry, who voted against Condi) gets a dirty bomb threat; Illinois (home of Barack Obama, the Democrats' golden boy) gets a barge fire!

Oh, I'm being silly. Barbara Boxer voted against Condi, too, and nothing happened in her home state of California. Of course, California is also the home of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the GOP's golden boy...

2. A barge fire in Chicago?
On the river I'm guessing. Do you have any more details?

3. Barge exploded on the Chicago river
Boiler explosion, I believe - down near Cicero and 44th, if I remember right.

4. It was the Sanitary and Ship Canal

I think they had the Stevenson ramps shut down for a while last night during rush hour.
