...so CNN and all the rest will add 99% sawdust, breadcrumbs, and floor-sweepings, and then it'll still be news for the rest of the night. x(

First, they say that the THREAT isn't credible. Now, they've got the guy and he confesses? How did we go from NOT CREDIBLE to a confession within 24 hours?

It wasn't a credible threat. Doesn't mean the guy didn't actually make the claim - just that they didn't think he could actually cause damage.

They reported that the FBI said there was a threat. The FBI thought their was a threat because someone was threatening them. It turned out that the idiot was lying, not the FBI or the press.

10. The FBI said it was not a credible threat...
yet the media devoted wall-to-wall coverage to it,anyway. So, like I said, they look foolish.

Well, then yes. You are absolutely correct. I thought you were talking about them being foolish for reporting on it at all. But it's the M.O. of the press to frighten people about everything since they can't get any ratings otherwise.

17. Milwaukee? Packer fan perhaps?
Probably looking for some way to cancel the NFL season and save face for the Pack.

18. CNN just reported it was two young guys
one from Milwaukee and one from Texas who were trying to come up with the best plot. I assume that was through emails, but I missed that part. Shows the NSA snooping is working. Hmmmmm!
