Nice strategy Hillary, garnering the sympathy vote

(BTW I'm joking and making reference to the movie wag the dog)

I am going to go out on a limb and call the bomb a fake, and the hostage taker nothing but a random schizophrenic who should have been put in a mental institution years ago.

Hope the cops don't taser him to death.

If the cops taser him with the bomb still in his hands, that could set it off... totally.

What looked like a bomb in a Clinton campaign office takeover in New Hampshire Friday turns out to have been road flares.

A few years ago we attached some pulleys and a plastic hand to a set a shoulder pads at work. The end result was you could pull on a string and literally give yourself a pat on the back if you felt you deserved it.

This is exactly what is wrong with America today.

Someone finally tried to assasinate Hillary Clinton and they got arrested for their trouble.

They just arrested the only sane person in the country.

One person finally said to themselves "screw it, I'll do it," and they arrest him.....weak.

He was only trying to do what he thought was right.....

True enough. But the stupid thing about the whole thing is that Ron Paul has a greater chance of getting picked off...provided he wins.
