No surprise there -- it's the weekend.
No, no, no! You're both wrong, everyone knows its the Baptists. They were probably baking a casserole for someone and their oven had a malfunction.
All kidding aside, my prayers go out to those affected by the blasts.
I have a damn satallite and still cannot find even one channel covering this!
They're being sarcastic.
Just a fuel depot, reports of structual damage near the actual depot.
ON THE NET...
The following news brief is an exact quote:

GOOD!
Have you found ANY televised coverage?
That is par for the course. FR is always hours, if not days ahead of the TV and other regular news outlets.
Hmmm, now rethinking satellite!
No BBC or Sky News coverage?
BTTT
Islam
Are you serious?...because we're not. We're just having some fun with sarcastic wit (about Amish, Lutherans, etc.)
LOL, thanks!
I see nothing yet, let's see what happens at the top of the hour.
You know, we need to invent something that would keep us refreshed on FR without sitting in front of the computer. Maybe something we could carry with us, that we could sneak peeks every now and then, LOL! Hmmm.... Maybe under our pillows!
All three of the news stations are mum so far.
Sory, I don't have a functional televison. (By choice, so no sympathy needed.)
BBC and SKY are doing wall to wall coverage, report of explosion felt in Whitehall.
I jsut posted this, when the article about the explosions in UK came up:
Terror threat to 'crowded areas' (Nationwide Warning in UK)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1538138/posts
SCOTLAND YARD has issued a nationwide alert that Islamist terrorist cells may be plotting a Christmas bombing campaign. The warning was distributed to police chiefs nine days ago by the Yards anti-terrorist branch. It follows a series of operations by police and MI5 aimed at disrupting possible attacks by terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda.
The latest warning was sent to the chief constables of the 51 forces in Britain on December 2. It said there was evidence to suggest that Islamist terrorists were planning to carry out bomb attacks against crowded areas such as shopping centres, football grounds and train stations.
Senior officers say the alert is not routine and are to increase patrols and searches of potential suspects.
At least it's not the DU curse.
I can't think of a better group to get slap happy with than those in freeperville. (Great big smile!)
WAKE UP FOX NEWS!!!
