John Gibson just reported an explosion occured in Yale's mail room. The floor has collapsed. Developing...

too much sodium down the toilet?

[Lucas1]

New Haven Police has activated the bomb squad...FOX NEWS

[xJones]

Barbara's an undergrad, she's not in the law school. This does sound totally inept, fortunately. Almost like the SDS Weathermen trying to blow up campus buildings - or some idiot who's bomb attempt blew up prematurely in the Yale Law School post office.

[Lucas1]

Building was empty FOX News is saying...

[Lucas1]

Student says she saw doors to a classroom blown out...student says that a wall to the lounge collapsed. FOX News is repeating that...

[null and void]

AQ doing us a favor. Hard to believe. I'm sorry to joke about this. But I re-ally hate lawyers, especially liberal ones.

*shrug* Flight 93 was apparently headed for the Capitol building...

[Solson]

Then it HAS to be terrorism...who else would bomb an empty Yale classroom during summer break??

    the plane crash in Queens

CARE to go through the details on how 'the bombers' in that case got the plane's TAIL to come off so early in it's ill-fated flight ?

A member of the New Haven police bomb squad said the blast was caused by an explosive device and that members of the FBI’s terrorism task force were on the scene.

This is indeed terrorism. Coupled w/ Bush being in the state and the heightened alert, I'm pretty sure this is Al Qaeda.

Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst fraternity on this campus? Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way. Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode. Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir. Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I'm talking about Delta, you TWERP!

Okay, so it caused a lot of damage and blew out a wall.

And, if we assume it was a package bomb, we can assume that it was not addressed to Barbara Bush the Younger. Barbara's stuff is vetted by Secret Service. Besides, it had to be addressed to the Yale Law School. Barbara is an undergrad.

If the bomb came by mail, it was most definitely meant for someone at the Law School.

BTW, just a thought. I'd get some Hazmat people out there ASAP to check for chem or biotoxins. That would make very good sense from the terrorist standpoint.

Those letters are defective! I loved The Jerk.

[DPB101]

Get ready for it. Two Yale school grads--Bill & Hillary--will use they to hog TV time.

[mabelkitty]

It was an Airbus, yes?

[ewing]

Inept terrorists probably, but maybe this is something to confuse or tie up LE before another attack..

[Dolphy]

I have no idea who is responsible for this but terrorists are likely to go after symbolic targets and Yale does have value in that regard.

[Ditter]

Do you really think Barbara looks like her father? I don't. Jenna is the blond one, thats why she seems like the prettiest. The twins look different but both girls are beautiful. I don't think either one looks like her father.

Looking at student web sites it appears the spring semester is over.

At universities, school goes year round. They offer summer classes. I'm taking Speculative Markets and History of Economic thought as summer classes right now at my school.

[_Jim]

   Almost like the SDS Weathermen

DOES anybody have conclusive evidence that ALL the malcontents and 'mad bomber' groups in the US have been pacified, rounded up or extermiated?

[mabelkitty]

It's only symbolic if we get it, and are heart-broken of it.

This doesn't meet either criteria.
