ASPEN — A man who left bomb threats and homemade bombs around Aspen on New Year's Eve shot and killed himself in his car a few hours after his threats cleared much of the resort town, Aspen Police said.

Assistant Aspen Police Chief Bill Linn said James Chester Blanning, 72, walked into two Aspen banks Wednesday afternoon and left packages wrapped in holiday paper along with notes saying the boxes contained bombs. The notes threatened "mass death" and demanded $60,000 cash, along with criticisms of President George Bush, Linn said.

Did someone forget to tell him Obama was elected? The Liberal Messiah couldn’t save the day?

Even when Liberals win(?) election, they are miserable.

Yes. It’s good some of them put themselves out of their misery. Would more of them would do so.

Lord. The fellow was just another with Bush Derangement Syndrome. Doesn’t end well for these folks. Doesn’t end well. The BDS Club Seems to attract the wha-abulance type from all over the world. This guy was a cracker long before Bush came on the stage. Can’t say I am sad to see this terrorist in hell where he deserves. Glad no one else was hurt.

Sounds like a typical Moveon type.

“In the car police found a rifle and a handgun they believe
Blanning used to kill himself.”

He probably shot himself three times in his chest with the rifle,and four times in the head with the handgun.

Boy, the liberals are going to miss Bush when he’s gone. Who are they going to blame for their ugly, useless lives?

I'm sure there's a pun in the headline.

How about:

Man who blasts Bush, Cheney and Rove, blasts himself.
