Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

I think we're all punch happy in here tonight. It's getting closer to the end of this horrible sniping. I pray your theory is correct.

[Yaelle]

Stop comparing that poor stump to OJ. The stump never wore Bruno Maglis to a murder scene. All it ever did was sit there and take a few bullets in the trunk and this is the thanks it gets. We should all be happy for the stump that it gets to travel and see the country.

Just made some Brodo Di Pollo and grabbed a beer.

[Lion's Cub]

Can you guess?

LOL, I confess that's all I'm really doing right now in regard to your question. I know there are such activities in Central & S. America--but I wouldn't call most of those democracies. Then there's Germany, Italy & Spain. Of course, Russia's had her problems, too, but I don't think of Russia as a democracy, nor as being Western. The democracy that had's the most terrorism, of course would be Israel.

Bottom line, I don't have a clue. Looks like you'll have to tell me :)

[Freedom2specul8]

Congratulations! I just breathe deeply if it smells good..but haven't cheated once.

1. Sabotage of the Parachutes about Sept. 25th

2. Oregon Cell INDICTED Oct. 3 (1-.223 casing found)

3. Oregon Cell member was special weapons in our army.

The wierd casing found sounded like a souvenir to a friend before they parted.

"This is like watching grass grow. "

Yea, but we're having fun here! I haven't heard so many, "I spit (whatever) on the keyboard posts in quite a while!:)

[commish]

Stop comparing that poor stump to OJ

If the bullets don't fit you must acquit

[Lobbyist]

Makers Mark is my personal favorite. However, tonight I'm enjoying a Moose Martini.

[Peach]

I could go through a dozen cigarettes. Oh, oh, - you were talking about keyboards being a dime a dozen. Sorry - got confused again. It's that vodka and I think I smell smoke - gotta go.

[Spirited]

1990 Chevy Caprice NJ plates in No. VA being sought.

[TexKat]

Howdy, neighbor!!! Nice to meet you.

[Dog]

ROFL!

[mystery-ak]

The Hole in the Stump Gang.

[Slip18]

Maybe they're afraid the stump will get bumped off.

[Miss Marple]

Miss Marple, on the other hand, recommends gin. It is clean, anesthetic, and quite efficient.

[Ramius]

can anyone suggest treatment for a callused refresh finger?

I'm having a Red Hook ESB, and that seems to be doing the trick. Dip my refresh finger in it every now and then just to cut down on the friction.

I have now left the office and have taken up residence at my local across the street watering hole. Now I too can watch the live shot of the stumptruck. Yippee.

Gotta love wireless Internet access. Have 802.11b -- will travel. :-)

[Katya]

They've just reported that the "two" individuals they are looking at were involved in some similar shootings in Montgomery Alabama?
