Sorry about the double post. I got a message that the first had failed. It didn't show up, so I posted it again. Then both showed up. Go figure. As for the cyclist part, of course. Everyone knows cyclists are terrorist subversives one and all. We give them nice bicycle lanes to ride in when trucks and cars don't need to drive or park in them, and this is how they show their appreciation.

Weeks of sorting? Politico says they were postmarked on the 28th. 'Unbelievable coincidence' is right. Ok, guy sends anti war manifesto to congressional democrats, has a picture of the recruiting station that says 'we did it'. Then same station is bombed. Connection? Why would anybody think that?

I was sitting in an airport in Florida and the TV news which they forcibly imposed on the hapless travelers was absolutely raving about this minor incident. I think people really enjoy this sort of thing enormously, especially the government and the media -- it gives meaning to their otherwise bland, pallid. processed lives. Imagine, a whole country talking about a small, ineffective bomb, rolling their eyes and shaking in their boots.

Criminal profiling is total pseudoscience.

first they came for the cyclists, and i did not speak up, because i was not a cyclist. this is going to be a fucking nightmare for cyclists everywhere.

A retired NYPD detective who is now a profiler, Ray Pierce, told the NY Times, "What you have here is a very frustrated individual, someone who is trying to send a message, but it is a very confused message." He could be a bike messenger, because "he feels comfortable on the bicycle." Bicyclists prepare to feel the pain of random stops, searches, and interrogations.
