To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.

[areafiftyone]

It was one of these maybe?

My mom was a child in London during the Blitz and they hid under the dining room table.:)

You are at a greater risk of being killed in a car accident while driving around scouting "sniper safe" shopping locations than you will ever be from this sniper

Never thought of it that way. It probably was an entirely useless exercise and we're lucky to have escaped with our lives.

Thanks.

I am beginning to think that thee SNIPER maybe a PETA person...he was showing HUMANKIND what it is like to be an animal doing something natural and mundane in it's natural habitat...SUDDENLY when the NO HUNTING was announced...HE STOPS???

Next to this being terrorist related, that is the next best plausible theory I have seen.

[Sacajaweau]

I don't think so but hoped it would give the usuals a smile.

Actually, I'm thinking that writing the tip number on your belly isn't a bad idea.

no kidding....The last car my family rented (several months ago) the cleaning crew Armor-alled the dash and steering wheel so much that my hubby's hands kept slipping off the steering wheel...we had to wipe it off with tissues.

[John Jamieson]

I agree too.

BTW, the Michael's connection is the two Dallas brother founding billionairs are huge Bush supporters. 4 big oil companies. HomeDepot is owned by very rich Atalanta Jewish family.

[valleygal]

Yep, it still makes me smile. :)

[Spiff]

Captain Moose sends the sniper a little more personalized message.

[valleygal]

"We gonna get you sucka...

and in small letters add

"and we hope you's gettin flustrated!"

[valleygal]

Sorry, get = git. Even when I try, I can't speak that way!

[yoe]

..awwwwww, thats not fair .~.

[DugwayDuke]

And, he didn't even release a composite of the shell casing found last night.

[John Jamieson]

Generally takes 10 days.

[Lion's Cub]

ROFL! I wish he would have done that !!!!

[aristeides]

I just heard on the radio that a man was found last night shot dead in the middle of the government district in D.C., on Constitution Ave. next to the Labor Department. I think I heard that the police found the body at 3:40 AM. That's the middle of the night, but you'd think in that district it would not be possible to murder somebody unobserved at any time. I wonder what the real story is. The radio report seemed to think it was unrelated to the sniper, but I do wonder.

[nicmarlo]

LOL

[Lion's Cub]

Thanks for headsup! I heard the press ask Moose about a shooting at an Exxon station last night--which Moose said was unrelated--but I didn't hear anything about that.
