Politics, guns, my home town and surrounding areas, loathing, and the observations of a very grumpy white male living in a suburb of Boston. "Lynn, Lynn, city of sin. You never come out the way you went in. Ask for water, they give you a gin... it's the darndest city I ever been in."

For crying out loud! Pay attention!



The Boston Globe reports, "US warns that terrorists may pose as 'vagrants' ." How do they know? Because it looks like one already has.

The message noted a recent incident in Somerville, in which a police officer became suspicious about someone who seemed like a street person. The officer questioned the man and found he had a passport from a ''country of interest" -- typically a Middle Eastern or South Asian nation -- and a checkbook with a questionable address, the e-mail said. A probe is continuing, the e-mail added.

Somerville city spokesman Mark Horan said the incident occurred in early July, when the man walked back and forth in front of the Social Security office in Davis Square and kept looking in the windows. He was evasive about what he was doing but wasn't arrested. Police passed the information on to the FBI, Horan said


Yeah, for pete's sake don't arrest him. After all, you'd risk offending the "street person" community. Good Lord, security takes my Mom out of line at the airport for nail clippers but they can't bring this guy down to the station for some questions? Something in the system is not functioning properly. We're doomed to another attack if people don't remove their heads from their asses. (UPDATED. The suspect was Yemeni. Yumping Yemeni.)
