To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary going today. FBI Tip Line: 1-888-324-9800

thanks, my friend.

He's still in critical condition. They did get the bullet but the main purpose of the surgery was to continue to repair his pancreas and stomach. Spleen was probably removed last night as it was very badly damaged. His kidney was grazed but hopefully not damaged too badly. This man's health will never be the same if he lives. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

[valleygal]

Our prayers, too.

"My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Mine are too...I always maintain hope that people can recover the worst of injuries and return to a normal, healthy life afterwards. People are tough, this man is fairly young, and I know many people are praying for him.

:)

[valleygal]

Are you guys lurking elsewhere? I'm feeling rather lonely.:(

I teach in Southwest Virginia, and we are on alert, so I know your daughter and her school system are under a lot of stress and strain. Bless her.

[hispanarepublicana]

School closings are pretty extreme....(br)
Does this mean the message was some type of threat to schools or children?

[bcoffey]

Here and accounted for :)

I spent eight years at Va Tech, first as student then as professor. Lovely area.

For anyone watching Fox News right now...

Ellis eats paste...

[tomkat]

'fraid you're outta luck on that one, vg.
don't have too many beatles tunes - too high a risk of flashbacks ...

here's one last moosebust, then maybe a couple the RIAA aren't as liable to bust me for ...

Who's on First
Abbott & Costello

The stomach shot is supposed to be one of the most painful and gruesome of all bullet injuries, when the victim survives. I wonder if the shooter was toying with that in mind rather than having an "off" shot.

[valleygal]

LOL, WHAT??

[abner]

Ellis Hennican is a paste eater of the first order.

You see him, and think- "Paste Eater".

That's all. Elmer's variety.

[hispanarepublicana]

FYI, on Drudge (from the "Pope is Catholic" news category): Drugs found on Kid Rock's tour bus...

[MarthaNOStewart]

There was shooting on Hwy50 or 51 in St. Louis, MO a few days ago. It hit news and disappeared. Was it copycat, local murder or attempted murder, or what? Anyone hear that besides me? I never heard end result. I thought it might be another sniper like DC, and then it was gone.

[valleygal]

LOL....Who's on first? sounds like it could be press conference material.

I just popped over to the other thread and in one of the last posts your "Moose screwed the pooch" quote was attributed to me and my Lily Tomlin quote was attributed to you. Don't they know I don't talk like that? LOL

[abner]

Remember in 1st grade, there was a kid that would eat paste? That's Ellis.

[valleygal]

"Here and accounted for"

Well, hey there!

[GummyIII]

Ah....I'm not far from there! I work with their engineering department all the time.
