Silver Spring, MD (AP) - A U.S. Postal Service worker was arrested Saturday in a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of two charter buses and the closure of the Capital Beltway for 90 minutes.

The woman, whose name was not released, called a passenger aboard a charter bus carrying other postal workers from Merrifield, Va., to Atlantic City, N.J., and said there was a bomb aboard the bus, said Sgt. Russell Newell, a Maryland State Police spokesman.

It's about time for a postal worker to go crazy...

about time for a Mexican bus to plunge off a cliff...

about time for a Kennedy to get in a jam and enter rehab...

It's about time for a celebrity to come out of the closet and admit to not being "gay"!

All Clear Given after Bomb Threat on Beltway

RSS Feeds From ABC 7 Saturday May 06, 2006 12:18pm

Silver Spring, MD (AP) - It's all clear on the Inner Loop of the Capital Beltway after two charter buses were pulled over near University Boulevard because of a bomb threat.

The two charter buses - both carrying about 50 people - were on their way to Atlantic City when they had to be evacuated around eight a.m.

Maryland State Police say the Beltway had to be shut down in both directions while authorities investigated.

Nothing suspicious was found and the buses were allowed to continue the trip.

[A U.S. Postal Service worker...a...woman, whose name was not released, called a passenger aboard a charter bus carrying other postal workers...and said there was a bomb aboard the bus...]

Usually postal wackos merely spray their local workplace with an Uzi or throw hand grenades. Now they are threatening to blow up tour buses to get at their coworkers? Is this a sign that the conflict is escalating?

It's been a weird week so far. Looks like I picked the wrong month to quit sniffing glue.

No, I think its de-escalation: an encouraging sign that the group therapy is working, allowing this woman to express her anger non-fatally.

Yes, and it's about time for another aircraft to land at Houston Bush, with faulty landing gear.

And another police chase on some freeway interchange.

And another Kennedy to get arrested for DUI, DWI, or public drunk.

So many incidents, so little time.
