The Consul wrote:Reminiscent of when Reagan was shot. Hinckley was supposed to have dinner with Neil Bush the day of the assassination attempt. There was a small blurb in Newsweek as it went to press about this suspicious relationship. But after that, not a word in the corporate media until years later. Just one of those trifling coinky dinkies that are beneath the honor of suckhole journalists who, really, just want to stay alive.
If they can get away whit that kind of shit, this shouldn't be too hard to fix.
I always thought that one of the things argued in favor of that was that he didn't go to jail. Yes? No?
I thought it wasn't the same kind of fix, basically.

Not that anyone would ever be allowed to spoil young Dzhokhar's chance of a fair trial:
Russian-American journalist to write book about Tsarnaev brothers
Bob Minzesheimer, USA TODAY12:41 p.m. EDT May 1, 2013
It's the first big book to be announced about the Boston bombing.
Riverhead announced on Wednesday that it plans to publish "a major book" about the Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, to be written by award-winning Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen.
[...]
the publisher said the book will explain who the brothers were, where they came from, what shaped them and how they came to do what they appear to have done.
Thank you. Isn't it wonderful what the English language is capable of?
In a statement, Riverhead said the book "will follow the brothers from strife-ridden Kyrgyzstan to war-torn Dagestan, and then, as new émigrés, to the looking-glass, utterly disorienting peace and order of Cambridge, Mass.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's looking-glass peace and order. It's so utterly disorienting, especially when you come from the east.
Most crucially, it will reconstruct the struggle that ensued for each of the brothers, between assimilation and alienation, and their alleged metamorphosis into a new breed of home-grown terrorist, with their feet on American soil but their loyalties elsewhere, a split in identity that can be the breeding ground for a deadly sense of mission."
The book will reconstruct an allegation, or what?
What. That's what. Most crucially.

Wow. Those caricatures are disgusting. Sheesh. I mean, they may very well be despicable, but ugly, they're not.

There's the mysterious Misha. I mean Masha. Funny how this book could be announced two weeks after the event. That's some fast reportin' there Tex!

Oh FFS (again again)...
Boston bombing suspects had planned July 4 attack
Reuters By Ross Kerber, Jim Finkle and Mark Hosenball | Reuters – 5 hrs ago
BOSTON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The two brothers suspected of carrying out the deadly attacks on the Boston Marathon had originally planned to set off their bombs on July 4, a law enforcement official said.
The official said the suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, advanced the date of their attack because they completed building bombs more quickly then they originally anticipated. The official declined to be identified and did not offer more details.
[...]
News of the alleged July 4 attack plan and other details supplied by Tsarnaev to investigators was earlier reported by The New York Times and other media outlets.
NBC News, also citing unnamed officials, reported Tsarnaev told investigators he craved the blood of blonde virgins.
There are 1,730 comments so far. Here are all the comments from the first page:

The one thing that the younger brother did right was to run over the older one, and then drag him down the street. Whether he did it on purpose or not is beside the point, but he did us all a favor. Thanks punk.

FBI/CIA how many red flags did you all need for you all to start watching these guys? What does it take to get someone deported?
From the latter half of the same screed. (They snuck this actual piece of news in there, under cover of the Yankee Doodle Dandy horseshit.)
SUSPECT'S BODY CLAIMED
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's remains were claimed on behalf of [WTF?] his family on Thursday. His body had been kept at a Boston facility [sic] for more than a week.
Terrel Harris, a spokesman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Massachusetts, said a funeral services company retained by the family had claimed the body. Harris declined to provide details including the cause of death or where the body had been taken.
"Harris declined to provide details including the cause of death". WTF?? Is that even legal? Does anyone even give a shit about legality any more? Anyway, what possible innocent reason could he have for declining* to name the cause of death?
*As if he were saying "no, thank you" to a cup of fucking tea.

WRT The Week's cover-illustration hijinks, I thought the connotation they were going for was more of a

I say this with a newfound and hopefully now-recognized sense of good will:
FUCK THAT SHIT, guy. (Or gal, as it were.)
Nobody has won or lost anything yet. The contest is still alive, ongoing.
When will that officially start? How about: Never. Let's not let it start, eh?
Or, if it starts, then it will immediately be challenged by 2 hours of reason.

Yeah. See above. 120+ pages. Read. Let me catch you up to speed: I refuse to accept, personally, the conflation (your conflation, not mine) of being unfooled about this event and being despondent, defeatist, doomed.
